We at kidz2leaders, inc. wish to thank you for your continued support, whether it be by volunteering for Camp Hope 2009, coaching an interns4tomorrow student, making a donation, or praying for our campers and the ministry. You are such a vital part of the ministry.

As you might imagine kidz2leaders is not exempt from the rippling effects of the current economic situation. However, we hold fast to the belief that God has a plan and will provide. We take very seriously our responsibility to be good stewards of the gifts and donations kidz2leaders receives. Toward this effort, may we ask you to look into whether your company offers a matching grant program? If you haven’t already, please take advantage of this program; for even the smallest donations, including counselor fees, can make a difference. If we can provide any assistance for participating in such a program, like completing forms or providing giving statements, please let us know at the kidz2leaders’ office at 770.977.7751.

Thank you again for your continued support. We appreciate your continued prayers for our campers and the k2l programs.

God Bless,

Diane Parrish

Monday marked the first of many mandatory meetings for the interns where they will learn business etiquette and get prepared for their summer internships at area businesses.  The interns will also hear from different business individuals at each meeting.

The group visited local restaurant, Ritter’s, to hear from owner and chef, Ritter Jones, on Monday as well.

Please keep these students in your prayers as they prepare for and begin their summer internships!

We will be taking another group of Cornerstone campers on Sunday, January 25th, so look for more pictures soon!

We sang Christmas carols, ate a pancake breakfast, recognized those LTA campers that have graduated to be counselors next summer and handed out Christmas presents.   Everyone had so much fun!

Please enjoy the pictures from the party. Merry Christmas!

Teen/College Counselors: Don’t forget to bring a gift for a girl or boy camper!  Don’t spend more than $25 and please wrap the gift prior to the party.  Thank you!!

We look forward to celebrating with you next Saturday!
