Help me help my friends

Dear Family, In Real Life friends, and Momma's computer friends,

This is my second week of Summer Adventures camp. I love helping my Momma in her class. I like to play with the other kids and all the toys. We get to go swimming three days a week and to gymnastics one day a week too. It is so fun.

My friends from camp will be "kid"napped for a day of fun with the ARC. Their ransom is $100 or more a piece. I need your help in raising this money. Thanks, Rebekah

This "kid"napping is one of ARC's major fundraisers. Their goal is to raise $20,000.

The ARC's other major fundraiser is a Golf Ball Drop. The drop will take place on Monday, August 3. The golf balls are $100 with the chance of winning $20,000. You could win $5000 a piece if four people buy one together. The ARC budget depends on these fundraisers.

Its summer time!

Its summer time and that means that ARC Summer Adventures has started. This year I am working in the baby room. There are 7 campers. Rebekah is working too, she is my assistant. She has already made a few new friends.

Ready for our first day!Rebekah and Barrett conversing.Cole and Rebekah. He pushed her all over the room on that toy. Papa Dale and Rebekah before their ride.Papa Dale and Rebekah after their ride.

Papa Dale is a great asset to camp. He rides the fussy/tired babes around on his scooter until they are asleep or calmed. IT IS AWESOME. All the kids love him.

We have had a great two days at camp. We are going swimming for the first time tomorrow.

ARC is a great organization. This is a link to the national website, a link to ARC groups in MS, and a link to the ARC group we love.
