Fundraising Dinner THANK YOU!

We would like to offer our thanks and appreciation to all the people who came out to support Laurentian Camp Cherith at our fundraising dinner on November 13th. We enjoyed a delicious dinner and appreciated hearing from all of you who shared about what Camp Cherith means to you. And, of course, it wouldn't be a camp banquet without a performance of "The Prince From Far, Far, Away." Thanks, Shamrock and Chili!

With your help we raised almost $20,000 in immediate donations as well as an on-going commitment of over $1,300 a month. Over the course of one year this adds up to a total of well over $35,000!

Between all of our fundraisers and the support we've seen from our camp friends, I estimate we've now raised cash or commitments totalling about $95,000 over a one-year period, which brings us well on our way toward the $130,000 we'll need to get camp running at the new site next year.

So, on behalf of camp, THANK YOU. To every one of you that have offered donations, loans, time, supplies, and prayers. Thank you for demonstrating your commitment, enthusiasm and support for the Camp Cherith ministry. We couldn't do any of it without you. Praise the Lord for providing everything we need, in His perfect timing.

(These figures are unofficial, as I don't have the financial records in front of me. We will be publishing a fundraising progress article soon in our upcoming Christmas newsletter which will provide a breakdown of where the money has come from, and where it will be needed.)
