]]> http://www.kidz2leaders.org/blog/200909/holiday-meal-sponsors/feed/ 0 Christmas in July http://www.kidz2leaders.org/blog/200906/christmas-in-july/ http://www.kidz2leaders.org/blog/200906/christmas-in-july/#comments Tue, 02 Jun 2009 18:35:08 +0000 cris http://www.kidz2leaders.org/blog/?p=156 Sounds weird we know, but, for a Camp Hope Camper, it means being able to enjoy camp to the fullest! Sadly, most of our kids show up to camp with only the clothes on their backs for the entire week! Unimaginable, isn’t it, for us East Cobbers!?

So, you can help in one or both of TWO WAYS, 1) Purchase a $15.00 to $25.00 gift certificate (or more if you can!) to either Wal-Mart or Target, bring it by the Camp Hope office, or place in the Camp Hope mail box in the staff kitchen during the month of June, OR, 2) come to our “Christmas in July” Christmas tree, which will be in the connector at the end of June, and take a “need” slip off of the tree. These “need slips” will cover everything from specific clothes and snacks to bedding and pillows.

I pray you can help us make this camp a memorable one for our kids. God Bless!

Rev. Diane Parrish
