<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Hello! I am writing on behalf
of Heather’s Camp, a non-profit camp for children who are blind or visually
impaired. I am trying to get the word out in the Denver Metro area, but especially in your area (northern) to the families and kiddos, about a wonderful opportunity that we have coming up at the end of May. I'm attaching a flyer that you can print and share or I can send you some hard copies if you need them. There is also a website at the end of my letter as well. Thanks!</span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><br></span></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Heather’s Camp was started in Wichita, Kansas in 2001 by the family
of Heather Muller. As part of the Delta Gamma sorority, Heather devoted much of
her time to their philanthropy, Service for Sight, and when she passed away,
she was in a master’s program pursuing her degree in early childhood education.
<span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Heather’s Camp has been
operating in Wichita since 2001 thanks to the dedication and devotion of
Heather’s best friends and family, along with the Wichita chapter of Delta
Gamma. After a careful and thorough screening, they, along with the Sigma
Epsilon fraternity, provide the 1:1 ratio of counselors for the children
attending the camp. Last fall, through a lot of coincidences and what we can
only call “serendipitous moments,” I met a representative of Heather’s Camp. Things
quickly fell into place for us to hold our first, and what we hope to be
annual, Heather’s Camp in Colorado. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Heather’s Camp-Colorado is
May 19-21<sup>st</sup> at YMCA Camp of the Rockies in Estes Park, CO. We have
been working with the Anchor Center in Denver (another Delta Gamma-based organization)
who will be training the counselors in Colorado. While we are still looking for
sponsors, what we need the most is for the word to be spread to the families of
Colorado…we want your children to join us! <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">The fee this year is $50,
although if a family cannot pay we will work with them. NO CHILD WILL BE TURNED
AWAY. The ages we are accepting include age 5-18; however, we understand that
sometimes there needs to be a little wiggle room in that as well. If a family
would like to call and talk about the specific needs for their child, we’d be
happy to do that. If a child can only come for the day and perhaps they are not
fond of overnight events, that is possible to arrange, too. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">The very experienced administrative
staff from Heather’s Camp-Kansas will be part of our camp this year (and I’m
sure in the future as well, since Heather was their best friend). We will have the
kids in very small groups, with a nurse assigned to each group and descriptions
of the actual activities can be provided upon request. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">I’m enclosing flyers for you
to hand out if you would please do so? The website for more information (and
registration) is </span><a href="http://www.heatherscamp.org"><span style="font-size:11pt">www.heatherscamp.org</span></a><span style="font-size:11pt"> and/or I would be happy to answer any questions as well. The main
event coordinator is another excellent resource, Lyndsey Metzen, and I’ll list
her number as a contact below. <span></span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt"><span> </span></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11pt">Thank you for your help with
this important project. I hope you will support getting the message out to the
families you serve!<span></span></span></p>
