Confidence. An understanding that, above anything else, success
|
|
requires genuine effort, a willingness to set challenging goals. Caring
|
|
about others.
|
|
These are the attributes we want all children to have. You help
|
|
Jameson campers reach for them. If these special children are to become
|
|
the adults we all need them to be, we have to lead them in the right
|
|
direction right now.
|
|
Jameson points the way for children who need that extra hand and I
|
|
hope you'll continue your support this year. You're last gift of $50.00
|
|
helped make it possible for us to provide guidance, encouragement and fun
|
|
to nearly 400 Indianapolis area children. And not just during the summer,
|
|
but throughout the year.
|
|
What has your support of our campers meant to them and what have they
|
|
been able to accomplish because you care?
|
|
The best indicator I can give you of the positive effect our
|
|
year-round contact has is the growth in and deeds of the Youth Leadership
|
|
teens. In just the past few years this program has grown from a few kids
|
|
and a few extra activities to a team of almost 60 young adults taking on
|
|
real projects. YL teens will make J.C. juniors happen again this year for
|
|
7 and 8 year old campers. A five day camp, J.C. juniors introduces
|
|
at-risk children to Jameson two years earlier than we could previously
|
|
reach them. That means we now have the opportunity to be a stable,
|
|
positive and important part of each child's life for an entire
|
|
decade.
|
|
The teens have also decided to raise money to provide camperships for
|
|
other campers because they know what Jameson has meant to them. And their
|
|
activities aren't isolated to Jameson. The teens have undertaken a
|
|
volunteer project to regularly visit with sick children at a local
|
|
hospital.
|
|
Please consider renewing your gift today. The kids need your
|
|
leadership now more than ever. If you can increase your last donation, we
|
|
would appreciate that show of support for the campers and their efforts
|
|
to overcome obstacles and create successful lives.
|
|
Thank you again for helping point the way.
|
|
Sincerely,
|
|
Julie Marsh, Executive Director
|
|
P.S. You make it possible for us to help special kids with learning
|
|
disabilities, behavior problems and economic disadvantages to gain the
|
|
confidence required to put genuine effort into achieving real goals. I
|
|
hope you'll continue -- and if possible increase - your support for these
|
|
great kids. |
