I was reading the paper at work last week and came across an article.

http://www.jsonline.com/news/state/aug05/349380.asp

I don't know if any of you have ever experienced the joy of summer camp, but I do know that this place will always have a special spot in my heart. If you read the entire article, you can see that there is allot of work to do and we cannot do it alone. I did the math and even with all the alumni donating, it would still come out to about $800 per, a hefty price for almost anyone to pay.

I am going to ask if my place of employment has a donation organization that they might be able to help with, and am asking all of you, if anything, $5 here or $10 there. Even if all you can do is spread the word, the more people that know about this the better.  For more information please visit
http://www.savecamp.com/

I know that we are all generous people, willing to help each other out, maybe we can take that to the next level. If you cannot make a donation, I understand, $ is tight around my house too.

If you plan on making a donation, please post here, and include my name as well. Robert Kohn. I think you can send a message with paypal, if not, post or email me the paypal ID you sent it with (just the ID so I can give credit where it is due), and I can post a message on the forums for the camp.

If you can think of a way to help that I have not thought of yet, please post it here. If you cannot swing a donation at this time, that is okay, I really can't either so I am doing what I can. Thank you all for reading this and most especially thank you for donating.

Sorry to derail, but shouldn't this have been posted in off topic forums?

I will post this in the off topic forum, but I just wanted this to get as much exposure as I could.  Not many people frequent the off topic forums.

Yes, but imagine if everyone started posting off topic posts here
because "not many people frequent the off topic forums". Sorry, people
are in this 'general discussion' to talk about the game. They made a
seperate forum for topics like this.



Edit: Also, personal opinion here, but isn't there more important
organizations to donate to? Ones for poverty? ones for terminally ill
children to get their last wishes granted? Ones for research
(ie.cancer) ? I may be wrong here, but it seems like this is just a
christian camp?
