Courier www.campcourageous.org January 2014 • Volume 40, Issue 1 PO Box 418 • 12007 190th Street Monticello, IA 52310-0418 Ph. 319-465-5916 • FAX 319-465-5919 E-mail: [email protected] CAMP COURAGEOUS ® www.campcourageous.org 40th Anniversary 1974 - 2014 6,532 campers served in 2013… more than ever! Thank you for helping to keep the dream alive for 40 years! Camp Courageous is a year-round recreational and respite care facility for individuals of all ages with disabilities.1 Big crowd enjoys annual Pancake Breakfast & Open House (L-R) Lance and Larry Greco share a light moment, as Lance fills the seat his Dad, Leo Greco, use to fill at the Camp Courageous Open House as a WMT Personality. The Grecos and WMT have been wonderful friends to Camp Courageous for 40 years! (L-R) Denny Zahrt and Buzz Walters present a check to Camp Courageous from Brubaker Lodge during the Open House and Pancake Breakfast...both great supporters and promoters of the camp in the Quad Cities. It is always a treat to have one of our major fruitcake sellers of the past visit camp for the Open House and Pancake Breakfast. (Far R) Dale Somers sold thousands of fruitcakes over the years with the assistance of his wife, Mary, and son and daughter-in-law. Both, in their 90s, we look forward to celebrating each of their 100th birthday! I think the secret to their good health and longevity is hard work, clean life, and Camp Courageous Fruitcakes. Camp Courageous Sprint Triathlon Huge Success! A big thank you to the juniors from St. Paul School of Religion in Manchester for volunteering at the Camp Courageous Pancake Breakfast. They were a big help and a great group of students. Camp Board Member, Larry Greco, accepts a check from Molly Breslin, representing Noelridge Dental in Cedar Rapids. Noelridge Dental participated in Smiles for Life where Dr. Jeannie Collins, DDS, whiten teeth and 100% of the proceeds was split between Camp Courageous and providing free dental services to the seriously ill and underprivileged children. It has been a wonderful fund raiser for Camp and we thank Molly, Dr. Collins and the staff and patients for thinking of camp. A big thank you to Rachel Krebs who collects cans to benefit Camp Courageous in the Durant and Wilton area. Here she presents a check at camp's Annual Breakfast! Camp realizes a lot of work goes into this project. She is following in the footsteps of her sister, who also helped camp through cans and has wonderful parents. Rachel has now done this for several years! 2 Thank you to Don Porter of Manchester who collects five-gallon pails of tabs for the camp and has also been a loyal supporter for years. Don is never too far away from a good dance…and a good dancer he is! The 2013 Camp Courageous Sprint Triathlon was a big hit. Thanks to the athletes, sponsors, and volunteers a RECORD AMOUNT was raised for the camp!! Pictured are members of the camp’s Triathlon Committee presenting a check of the proceeds. The 5th Annual Camp Courageous Sprint Triathlon will be held on August 3, 2014 at Central Park near Amber, IA It isn't a breakfast without the Two River Sams visiting camp. These folks not only support the camp...they make things for the campers and collect items for the camp the year-round! 500 yARD SWIM 15.5 MILE BIKE 5K RUN PRESENTED BY TRANSAMERICA MORE INFO, MAPS, REGISTER NOW AT www.campcouragoeus.org JANUARY 2014 • @campcourageous • http://www.campcourageous.org Manchester Garage Sale has Another Great Year PINEAPPLE GALA Gala Returning to Downtown Cedar Rapids and the new DoubleTree Hotel The Manchester Garage Sale ended at noon, Saturday, October 19th. It was another super year for about 50+ volunteers and we thank all those who brought in things to sell and those who came to buy. Front to back are some of the volunteers: Delores Propst, Darlene Boge, Janice Gillihan, Sandy Dingbaum, Carol Elliott, Kathy Nightingale, and Ardelle Brooks. Additional volunteers pictured below... DoubleTree Staff provided the Pineapple Committee a tour of their facilities. (L-R) Cedar Rapids DoubleTree General Manager Matt Felling, DoubleTree Marketing Emily McMahn, and from the committee, Kaye Steege, Pat Becker, Mary Van Houten, Paul Steege, Ralph Palmer, Larry Greco, Georgia Johnson, Jim Klinger, Phil Martin, Lance Greco and Travis Faust, Director of Events & Catering. The facilities are large enough to drive a car and other large auction items into the exhibit area. This event was first held at the Downtown Stouffers Five Seasons Hotel in 1979. Camp Courageous was its first big event. I still have pictures in my office of George Sells representing the Five, Marty Kloska representing United Airlines, and Harold Smith representing CRST, and Tait and Dotty Cummins representing camp. Those were great years where everything was flown in jet fresh from Hawaii, including the entertainment for the Gala. From 1979-2010 it was downtown. The gala peaked in about 1981 with 830 participants raising $32,000. Then came the silent/live auctions that turned the event from a dinner/entertainment to a major fund raiser. Once again Camp Courageous was among the first to do a dinner /auction. Then came the remodeling job and camp moved the gala to the Marriott from 20112013. Total donations continued to climb and the facilities and staff were super! Among the auction items will be this beautiful Lexus, which will be on display right in the exhibit hall.

JANUARY 2014 • @campcourageous • http://www.campcourageous.org Many play role in getting Caboose moved to Camp Courageous Being converted into a lake-view living space for volunteers and staff Our friends from Coonrod Crane Service carefully remove the caboose from its trucks and load it onto their flatbed trailer, carefully protecting the new paint job. An amazing feat! Camp can not thank our friends at ADM (center) enough for sand blasting and painting the caboose (donated by the CRANDIC). The work they did was exceptional! One can see a part of the sandblasted caboose behind these gentleman. I, personally, have never seen work this beautifully done. Also a huge thank you to our friends at Active Thermal Concepts who removed all the asbestos from the caboose when it was at camp... which was a huge job, too. (L-R) Camp Train Engineer, Gerry Rohr; Terry Beaird, from Active Thermal Concepts; Dave Reisner, President of Active Thermal Concepts; Dean Petrof and Tim Palmer, from ADM; and camp board members Chris Wiese and Larry Greco. The long-time supporting Lowden Lions Club once again collected a car load of items off camp's needs list. A heartwarming Club that have been involved with Camp Courageous for many years. Thank you to our good friends at HyVee for their continued support of Camp Courageous. Hard to find a nicer, more service oriented group. Thank you to these key managers for making it all possible! Marginal Note: A light heart lives long. Dean Petnoff (Plant Manager ADM); Dustin Ehrman (Coonrod); John Mathis (Coonrod); Brandon Spiecer (Coonrod); Scott LeClare (Jerry McElmeel Construction in Monticello hauled the caboose trucks) and Larry Greco (Board Member). These folks did an incredible job of loading and trucking the caboose to camp! Thank you to (L-R) Stephen Slobodnik and Grand Knight Marvin Brown from the Knights of Columbus, 7294 Fr. John Manning Council of Mt. Pleasant. Stephen carries on his Dad's tradition of raising money for Camp Courageous and individuals with intellectual disabilities. Stephen's daughter, Laura, is one of camp's wonderful campers. Thank you for all your hard work, Knights! Thank you to Sheri Lampe, for opening the door to give a program to the Ft. Madison Lions Club! Great group that has been supportive of Camp and many worthy causes over the years. Not too often one sees a caboose going down the streets of Cedar Rapids! The caboose is beautifully placed, over looking Lake Todd. In front of the Caboose one can see the bridge going across Lake Todd, the generator that will back-up the future Pavilion and other structures in the area and the Lake Todd Depot. A huge thank you to ESP International (Cedar Rapids) for taking on Camp Courageous as their project. They volunteered at events, like the J & P Cycle Open House, they donated money and items to the camp, and they collected gifts for a needy camper family... what a wonderful organization. Here, two ESP employees discuss Camp Courageous with fellow employees. (L-R) Julie Hamilton joins Maggie Carr, as Maggie discusses going to Camp Courageous and all the joys she experiences there. 5 Guns & Hoses Benefit for Camp Courageous Organizers (L & R) Pete Ungaro and Glen Pauley visit camp before their Guns & Hoses Benefit for Camp Courageous. Campers loved the opportunity to meet these career law enforcement and fire fighters and the hockey players to benefit others. Thank you to all those who were involved in making this such a success! To start the Johnson County's Guns & Hoses Charity Hockey Game and Silent Auction was Honorary Puck Dropper, Kelsey Tweden, wearing her first class Guns & Hoses Hockey Jersey. She is surrounded by her family, parents, Cory and Jennifer and sister, Hailey. Kelsey loves respite care weekends at Camp Courageous. Her Dad, Cory, is the store leader/partner at the Scheel's at Coral Ridge Mall and has been very supportive of camp. Kelsey prepares to head to the center of the ice to drop the puck, starting the game. What is important to you? Camp Courageous extends its warmest appreciation to Lee & Andrea Lui for donating to camp their beautiful pick-up with a blade on front to remove snow, along with a kayak. All very useful at camp. We can not thank Lee and Andrea enough for their kindness... great couple! It was a treat to give a program to the LaPorte City Lions Club. This group have been great supporters for years. Thank you to Bill Judd who invited camp to give the program. Bill worked the board with Leo Greco at WMT back in the 80s. Jim McDonough, who does an annual concert for camp, was the band instructor there for a number of years before he went to something less stressful… an air traffic controller.

Hundreds upon hundreds of loads of clay was removed from the Jerry Pasker property to line the camp's Lake Todd. It was a steady line of dump trucks and side load trucks for weeks along Highway 151 north of Monticello, Highway 38 and the camp road. Jerry ended up with a pond and Camp Courageous ended up with a liner for Lake Todd. Thank you so much Jerry Pasker and Dave Schmitt Construction for donating time and equipment to this project. Pictured above is the removal of clay from Jerry's location. Key to the success of this project was the folks from Dave Schmitt Construction. (L-R) Dan Simon, Jay Gallery, Patt McDowell and Dave Schmitt. Super group and company! A side load semi, unloading clay on the base of Lake Todd...trucks were lined-up to be filled and to unload. A fascinating process. JANUARY 2014 • @campcourageous • http://www.campcourageous.org Square Dance benefits Camp (L-R) Connie Inman, Christie Vilsack, Judy Hankom, Ron Hankom, and Jerry Inman. It was a treat to have Iowa’s Former First Lady, Christie Vilsack, visit Camp Courageous, along with Lions International Director, Judy Hankom of Hampton, IA and her husband Ron, and past Lions District Governors Connie & Jerry Inman. Campers made the sign on the fireplace mantle, welcoming Christie to camp. The group had a tour of camp asking many great questions. They had the opportunity to interact with campers and have dinner with them. Christie is Senior Adviser at the U.S. Agency for International Development in Washington DC. Christie is a former teacher, and is the spouse of U.S. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack, who served as Iowa Governor from 1999 to 2007. All these individuals have very busy schedules, and we are grateful they stopped by to learn more about Camp Courageous. Mark Becker, Grand Knight of the Jesup KC Council, presents a check to Camp Courageous. The Jesup Knights have been long-time supporters of the camp...super group! Wonderful camp supporter Anne Aalbers has been busy! Once again she traveled to camp from her home in Pella to deliver some beautiful handmade quilts. Anne has made numerous quilts that have delighted the campers for several years. The toes were tapping and the skirts were swirling as the 24th annual Square Dance Benefit for Camp Courageous was held on October 13, 2013 in camp’s lodge. A large crowd was on hand to enjoy the music, fellowship and dancing. This year’s event was hosted by the Quad Cities Federation and was a huge success. Camp would like to thank all participants for their generosity toward this event. The participants of the Square Dance Benefit for Camp Courageous give one last bow for the day and say goodbye after another successful event! The Quad Cities Morning Optimist Club present a check to Camp Courageous. A long-standing dedicated group that spent a morning volunteering at the camp this fall. It was a joy to have Jim Bixler, the newest 9EC Iowa Lions Foundation Trustee and Tim Steltner, both of the Muscatine Lions Club out to visit the camp firsthand. Jim and Kevin Adams of Monticello work on the Lions Visually Impaired Camp. Jim & Tim are standing outside the Lions Train Depot. Thank you to Phil Hanna for his decades of volunteer service to Camp Courageous as our veterinarian. Phil could write a book...with a lengthy chapter, just on Camp Courageous... and it would be humorous! We also want to congratulate Phil and Marilyn Hanna on their 50th Wedding Anniversary...a wonderful couple! All the best in retirement! These gentlemen gave a collaborative effort in calling the last dance at the 24th annual Square Dance Benefit for Camp Courageous. A special thank you to Jill Kofron (back row center with red coat and blond hair) who is President of District 10 FCCLA and also Iowa State FCCLA President. FCCLA is a dynamic leadership group for middle and high school students with it's central focus on Family. Every year they meet one time and have a "district" meeting. For each meeting they have a theme and they choose a program to sponsor. This year they chose Camp Courageous. They took the camp's needs list and all the schools brought things from the list. Jill, along with all the members of FCCLA are very impressive and have a lot going for their futures...we wish them the best! Marginal Note: You’re happiest while you’re making the greatest contribution. Rick Kramer at Snow Go comes through once again. Rick has been supplying camp all of its sidewalk salt for years and has done a great job making sure we never run out. A truly nice guy. 7 Thank you to Lance and Leisa Greco, along with the dozens of folks who traveled to Branson MO as a benefit for Camp Courageous. Sounds like everyone had a wonderful time and we look forward to the next trip in November of 2014. Special thanks to Jeanne H. Guthrie who coordinated and escorted the trip and Destinations Unlimited for offering the opportunity. It is nice to put all the worries of driving, etc. into the hands of the professionals and be able to just sit back and enjoy. (L-R) Long time camp volunteer Randy Brokaw, who is employed by Hussmann, and Scott Zwanziger, Heartland Territory Service Account Manager, stand outside a very large walk-in cooler and freezer, which they both volunteered time installing. Randy put in the Camp’s first units in the mid 70s... and it is still going strong! Camp Courageous was thrilled to receive a check from Libertyville Savings Bank in Fairfield, IA. (L-R) Deb Taylor (Operations) presents a check to LouAnn & Greg Morton… long time supporters of Camp Courageous from Fairfield. We can’t thank Libertyville enough for all their kindness! Board Member, Chris Wiese (center) and staff from Limolink spent a morning unloading all the parts to a new walk-in cooler and freezer into the basement of the lodge. The panel and all the parts were very heavy...so it was great to have the help. Limolink helps the camp throughout the year! Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous The 5th annual “Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous” was held on Saturday November 9th at Westdale Mall. Campers, their families, friends, group homes, and supporters of camp enjoyed a morning of music, games, prizes, food, and, of course, walking! Richochet from the Cedar Rapids Rough Riders made another appearance to the delight of all and camp volunteer Sherrie Lampe shared her artistic talents with some very creative face painting! Camp would like to thank Westdale Mall for allowing the event to held at their venue, the Cedar Rapids Soroptomist Club for all their help, and the efforts of all who participated to help make the event a success. Camper Rachel Sunne and family and friends (Team Rachel) turned out in full force at this year’s event. Always very supportive of the walk, they once again went above and beyond to help make the it a success. Their efforts were rewarded by winning 1st place and receiving a pool party at the camp pool! Rachel is the daughter of David and Julie Sunne of Dundee. 8 Camp counselor Christine Amendola and camper Allison Rentschler stop for a moment to pose for a picture at the 5th annual “Walkin’ & Wheelin’ for Camp Courageous.” They enjoyed the morning that included games, music, prizes and some of camp dietary director Aly Jobson’s famous cupcakes! A big thank you to Planet X in Cedar Rapids for selecting Camp Courageous as their October charity. Pictured (L-R) are Zeke Rohr and owner Cameron Full of Planet X presenting a check for the fun night in October. We look forward to hopefully working with them again next year. Thank you to Emil Koval for inviting camp to give a presentation to the Marion Sunrisers Kiwanis Club. This group has been supporting camp since the very early years of the camp. These long time supporters meet at the Marion Hy-Vee and have traveled to camp on numerous occasions to donate items, like a wonderful youth first aid kit! A great group to join, if you are looking for good and carrying folks. Members include (L-R) Mel Holubar, Mary Ellen Wright, Carolyn Holubar, Nancy Domer, Norm Wright, Donna Bean, Emil Koval, George Domer, and Will Ogle. Not present were Don Bean, Jim & Mildred Jessen, and Gordon Bowser. Rick Delagardelle with the Anamosa KC Council 1791 presents camp with a generous check from their annual Tootsie Roll Drive. This group has been supporting camp for many years and we are very thankful for them. Thank you to Theisen's Community Grant Program for their wonderful donation to go toward the large walk-in cooler and walk-in freezer in the basement of the lodge. This was a huge help to the camp, with so much food donated and needing appropriate cooling and freezing. Pictured is Monticello Theisen’s manager Keith McLaughlin presenting the check. We are grateful to Jim Theisen and all the Theisen Stores for their year-round support! JANUARY 2014 • @campcourageous • http://www.campcourageous.org Thank You!

WOW! What an impression you left on me and my 2 friends - all retired teachers. The breakfast was great! Uriel Moore's tour was superb! We monopolized his time and fired non-stop questions. He was a true ambassador for Camp Courageous and a most positive and cordial guide. My experience with disabilities centered around years of exchanges with River Hills (Cedar Falls) children and my sixth graders. It was a huge growth experience in unconditional love. That really came alive again with my visit last Sunday. I grew up in the Amana Colonies, was raised with Tait and Dottie Cummins (and Charlie) and Leo Greco, so felt I always knew about the camp once it began. But Sunday's visit was so revealing (and a bucket list entry met). Than you for your remarkable leadership for staff like Uriel and for unconditional love for those with disabilities and the vision you have for them.

How can I help? Lake Todd Project A 30 acre land acquisition has allowed for the construction of a lake at Camp Courageous. By having a lake at the camp, time and resources will be saved by not having to transport campers and staff to another lake that is 20 minutes away. You can help defray the costs of constructing Lake Todd by contributing towards this project. A plaque will display the names or wording of choice for all $1,000 donors. Use the form on the back of this newsletter.

It is the camp's goal to have naming rights to all the homes at camp, so instead of referring to a home as the Travel Director's Home it will be called the John Smith Home, named after the donor. Each home's naming right will be $100,000 and a beautiful engraved stone sign will be at the entrance to the home. The first home will be the Travel Director's Home (above). This beautiful brick home along the camp road is currently the home for the camp's Travel Director, Rolando Morales and his family. At one time this was a school house...lots of history in a beautiful home. Contact Charlie Becker for more information on having this home acknowledged as yours or in memory or in honor of a loved one. 22 WAYLAND, IA Burlington Express WEBSTER CITY, IA Wanda Schnurr WELLMAN, IA James and Mary Gent Stephen and Anne Mann - In memory of Royce Buckwalter and Wayne Owens Mark and Maureen Schneider - In honor of Amy Shalla Donna Ulferts - In memory of Larry Hartung and Rick Achenbach WELTON, IA Duane and Elaine Kidd - In memory of Larry Wayne Jr. George and Twilah Raes - In honor of The Family of Bob Raes and George Raes Rick and Linda Ryan - In memory of Dale H.

Shown is Greg Gasser from MH Equipment who generously delivered the fork lift to camp. Thank you to the wonderful Hills Town and Country who once again this year provided Camp Courageous with gifts for Santa to give to the campers and goodies off the needs list. Thank you to Cathy Fitzmaurice-Hill for inviting camp and to all our dear friends who are members of this great group! It would not be Thanksgiving without a visit to Hills!

Don was part of a small group of Petroleum Marketers who discovered Camp Courageous in 1981 and stayed dear and loyal to the camp the rest of his life. Don founded Fauser Oil in March 1950, beginning with a single service station in Elgin. Don’s DX was the beginning of his career in petroleum. Later, in the 1970s, the business was expanded to include a wholesale fuel division that is now known as Fauser Energy Resources. Fauser Energy has grown to have a marketing presence in a 12 state area throughout the upper Midwest. Don served on the Petroleum Marketers of Iowa board of directors for 10 years, acting as president for two years (1987-1989), and was a leader in the industry. While serving on the board, he was instrumental in forging the association’s long-term alliance with Camp Courageous, a cause that stayed very close to Don’s heart. Don, along with a small group of DX jobbers, would each give $1,000 a year to the camp, which was matched for years by the DX Brand. That support pulled Camp Courageous through some of its most challenging years in the early 80s. Don was as nice a person as anyone could ever meet. He was a gentleman in every sense of the word. His success was based on a strong foundation of hard work, dedication, and unswerving integrity. His love for his wife, Dorothy (of sixty-four years) and his five children and thirteen grandchildren and seventeen great-grandchildren was an inspiration to all. He was a beautiful role model to me, and to thousands of others. Don gave back to his community, his state, and his country through his service in the Marines, his involvement in his church, Lions, the American Legion, Camp Courageous, and so much more. We have lost a great man…and a true hero…in so many ways… (R-L) Dennis Zahrt, representing Camp Courageous, receives a check from Shane Harshbarger, Secretary of the Scottish Rite Foundation. The Scottish Rite Foundation has been an exceptional supporter of camp over the years. Both Shane and Dennis’ support of camp goes way back and both have been good friends for decades. 26 Camp’s sympathy goes out to Roger Sessler, along with family and friends, upon the passing of his wife, Theresa Sessler. Theresa was a wonderful supporter of Camp Courageous, where their son, Curtis, enjoyed many years as a camper. Curtis passed away six years ago, after enjoying a wonderful evening DJing a huge dance at camp. Words can not describe what a good and caring family the Sessler Family has been… Curtis and Theresa are dearly missed. The Vetter Family is one of the nicest families on this earth! Camp was saddened to hear of Bob Vetter’s death. He, his wife, Nellie, and son, Dick (who is an exceptional Camp Courageous Camper), would leave their home in Muscatine at the wee hours of the morning in order to always be among the first to work at camp’s pancake and omelet breakfasts. A man of true kindness and integrity, he was a gem. That personality showed best in their son, Dick. Dick is as precious as they come. Everyone knows and loves Dick Vetter at camp. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Nellie, Dick, and Larry. Charlie Taylor was always a ‘bigger than life individual’ to me. Over the years Charlie and Lois would never miss a Camp Courageous Breakfast or Cruisin’ For Camp or other events. Our paths would cross often each year… and Charlie would always have an adventure to tell me, that would fascinate me to no end. There was never a time I would ask Charlie for a favor for camp, that he didn’t come through with flying colors. From being involved in the camp’s beautiful, large, indoor pool to currently putting a bridge across camp’s Lake Todd… Charlie was a man of his word…and person that believed in giving back. We will dearly miss him. Thank you to Harold and Joyce Hutchins who volunteer their electrical talents to non-profits. In return, Harold's former employer, Alliant Energy's Foundation, makes a donation to the charity of their choice. Harold and Joyce have been good to camp for years. Alliant tracked 89,616 hours of volunteer time, with 172 retirees submitting 45,427 volunteer hours… great program! Camp was saddened by the death of Dick Whiteaker, 88 of Cedar Rapids. Dick and I worked on our first project together in 1980... it was the camp’s first indoor pool. A fraction of the size of today’s facilities, Dick worked with Camp, knowing funding was close to nonexistent, but also realizing how important a pool is to those with special needs. During this time I had the opportunity to get to know Dick’s family, all Pool Tech employees, which he and his wife, Betty, founded in 1973. Doug, Wendy, Rick and Stacy were all part of the business, with Rick staying on to follow in his father’s footsteps. Dick had a degree in mechanical engineering from Purdue and developed Pool Tech into what it is today with his desire to create an exceptional aquatic experience for customers, at the greatest value, while developing long-lasting relationships and that is what he did with Camp Courageous. Camp’s current pool, built in 2000 is a Nationally Recognized and Award Indoor Pool for those with special needs. Dick will be dearly missed, but his legacy lives on in his projects at Camp and through his wife and children. He and his family asked that memorials go to Camp Courageous. - Charlie Camp’s sympathy goes out to the Family of Roy Null. Roy was part of the Null Family who were very involved in Camp Courageous since its beginning. Along with his brother, Vernon, in the early days of the camp they would provide the best tours of the land that surrounds Camp Courageous and the original 40 acres. could often be seen riding his bike from his home at the intersection of Highway 38 and the camp road to camp to do a variety of volunteer projects, from the Back To School Festival to the Open Houses to working on Camp Fruitcakes. Roy will be dearly missed. Andy Schroeder, 50, of Dubuque and formerly of Bellevue, passed away Sunday, December 29, 2013 at home surrounded by his family. Andy was a wonderful heart-warming human being who volunteered many years at Camp Courageous. He was a recipient of the camp's Tall Pine Award. There are so many "Andy" stories that we all love to share of how he brought laughter and gentleness and kindness into everything he did. Andy had many challenges in his life and he met those challenges with determination, a strong will and a great sense of humor. His legacy will live on forever at Camp Courageous and the many lives he touched...including mine... Andy was fortunate to be blessed with a wonderful family and friends...he will be dearly missed...cwb JANUARY 2014 • @campcourageous • http://www.campcourageous.org The 5th Annual counting Tammy Marker from Gilbertville and Renee McGill from Independence traveled to camp to deliver a carload of donations from the needs list.

Marginal Note: Do you want to know who you are? Don’t ask. Act! Action will delineate and define you. 27 The Dynamic Dames Red Hat Ladies, all former educators from Hoover Elementary in Cedar Rapids, came to camp for a visit. They enjoyed a tour, lunch with the campers, a train ride and shopping in the camp store during their time at camp. Two pick up loads of items from the camp’s needs list were collected and delivered by these delightful ladies. Many thanks to the Dynamic Dames and we look forward to seeing them again! The Rachel Circle and friends from Brandon once again made a trip to camp to spend the day working on the Cent-a-Gallon mailing and the Camper Schedule Mailing. Its always a delight to have them. As apparent with their sweatshirts, many of them spent a little time shopping in the camp store! Along with volunteering, they brought along a large donation of items from camp’s needs list. We look forward to seeing these ladies again next October! We want to thank Dr. Robert Carstens and Lenita Jordan Carstens for all their support and for being a wonderful inspiration to so many. Here they are with their flag that flew over the capital on Dec. 5, 2012. “…we still marvel every day when we put our flag out and Sam joins me at the piano to sing God Bless America..” What a precious couple! The Loyal Workers and friends from Stanwood came to volunteer once again for a morning in October. These ladies have been volunteering for many years and for the past few years have spent the morning wrapping gifts for the camp holiday parties for the campers. Shown is this wonderful group along with some of the generous donations they brought along. Doug Monk of Monticello donated the fall season’s first apples! Fourteen crates will be turned into applesauce and apple butter with the help of volunteers. It will be frozen for campers to enjoy for months to come. Campers love our homemade applesauce and apple butter… thank you! Happy 80th Birthday to Honorary Board Member Liz Valliere. Liz is as nice as they come and has been active with the camp since about day one. From the many Camp Courageous Bridge Marathons she coordinates to pineapples, she has been outstanding. Originally a Hennessey, the whole family has played a key role in the success of the camp. Thanks again to teacher Jamie Kelly and her service learning students from Center Point Urbana High School for coming to help with the Back To School Festival. We couldn’t pull off such a fun event if we didn’t have help from these great students and other volunteers like them. Alice Langel has made many beautiful hand crafted quilts for camp and she dropped off another couple of her creations for the camper to enjoy. Alice is from Dyersville and has made some wonderful friends from Ohio after meeting at the annual Farm Toy Show. Alice decided to have her three Ohio friends become acquainted with Camp Courageous, so she brought them along for a tour. Shown with Alice (L) is one of her Ohio friends. The ladies also samples and purchased some of camp’s famous fruitcake! Bev Daws, a member of the Hiawatha VFW Post & Aux. 5349 and Hope United Church of Christ Quilters, traveled to camp, along with her husband Charles, to drop off some donations. The quilters made 12 toasty warm tied fleece blankets and the VFW collected paper towels and other paper products and misc. much needed items. It was great to see Bev and Charles and camp appreciates their dedication to camp by delivering these wonderful donations.

Campers will certainly appreciate them on the chilly nights ahead! How can I help?

What this means is that everything that is given to the Camp, goes directly to benefit the campers. One of the reasons the Camp has grown from serving 211 campers in 1974 to over 6,500 campers today, is the incredible dedication of volunteers. Volunteer help is needed in virtually every aspect of the camp. Please consider volunteering your time and talents to Camp Courageous. Santa and Mrs. Claus were a big hit again at this year’s holiday party. Students from area special education classrooms enjoyed a morning of activities as well as snacks and refreshments. Everyone got to greet Santa and received a present. Camp provides these free parties every December. Donation Form Where is Camp Courageous located?
