They really are great programs and the fundraising you do is very much appreciated by not only myself, but any of the communities you've touched over the years. Given everything the nurses, doctors and camp instructors do for little campers during the summer, they certainly aren't rewarded for their efforts as much as they should be. It's just great to see that there are still people willing to volunteer countless hours if only to see a single smile on a child's face :) Now that my schooling is over I feel that it is my time to turn a new leaf and give back to the community as well :)
