Diabetic Kids Camp

Dear Companion,
The Findlay Council #50 Royal & Select Masons of Ohio is requesting your assistance in supporting our 2010-2011 fund raising campaign for the diabetic kids fund. Our goal is to reach $10,000 in donations to sponsor school age children to attend Camp Berry in Findlay, Ohio.
Every penny contributed to the DIABETIC KIDS FUND is used to send children to diabetic camps. The Diabetic Kids Fund provides camper ships to enable needy children to attend camp. At these diabetic camps they learn to take control of their lives while having fun in a recreational camp setting offering biking, swimming, arts & crafts, games, etc. These diabetic children are growing up together learning about diabetes and how to enjoy a productive life.
Six Ohio resident camps for school age children are supported by the Diabetic Kids Fund. They are located near Findlay, Dayton, Cincinnati, Columbus, Cleveland and Toledo. Each camp is staffed by pediatric diabetes educators and a complete medical staff of doctors, nurses and dietitian. Trained agency camp personnel select the children to attend camp.
About 1000 kids attend these special camps each year and about half need financial assistance.
Council members have been proud to help children attend these special camps since 1978.
The Diabetic Kids Fund is officially recorded as the Grand Council Benevolent Fund, Inc. by the Internal Revenue Service which issued a letter in 2002 recognizing it as a 501(c)(3) tax-deductible charitable organization. The Fund has no employees. Operation of the Fund is handled entirely by Grand Council volunteers, which permits every penny collected to be used to help a diabetic child.
Checks may be made payable to the Diabetic Kids Fund and sent to the Findlay Masonic Complex, 303 Osborn Ave, Findlay Ohio, 45840. Attention: Findlay Council Diabetic Kids Fund

Greetings
Greetings Companions,
Our Council is now dark for the summer however we have work on our trestle board before we meet again in September to keep our path bright.
We need to thank Past Illustrious Master Charles Ensley for the excellent job serving the Council over the last year and for the officers elected accepting their roles to lead the Council in the upcoming year.
The Diabetic kids need your help to attend camp this fall, August 20-22, 2010 at Camp Berry. Whether assisting at the camp or preparing a breakfast as many of us have, seeing the kids smiling, enjoying time together while they learn to live with the disease and gain self-confidence is all the reward that one needs. One of the goals for Findlay Council this year is to increase our contributions by 10% over last year, thus planning is ongoing to conduct a “Hugs & Kisses” fund raising at local businesses to accept donations and in return the donor will receive a Hershey's Hug or Kiss. Will your help sponsor one kid more for camp? One Companion can make a difference.
A second goal is to provide Companions value for the time of fellowship and learning while attending our meetings. The Grand Council is providing for a venue to offer topics of not only Masonic in nature, but also may include Council, health, historical programs, music and hobbies. Do you have a special program, hobby or interest, if so now is your opportunity to share one. One Companion can make a difference.
This ties closely into our third goal to increase our meeting attendance and our fourth to gain membership in our Council. As interest in our meetings and special programs grows so will our attendance and membership. I call on every Companion to actively participate and contribute by attending Council on a regular basis. For those Companions currently active seek a Companion who you know hasn't attended or may simply need a ride to come join with us. One Companion can make a difference.
In closing, I thank all the Companions for the opportunity to serve Findlay Council, and yes One Companion can make a difference.
May you have a blessed summer,
Ron Drebert
