RoughRiders & Lynch team-up to support Camp For the third consecutive year Lynch Ford and the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders have joined together to raise money for Camp Courageous. Each season, the RoughRiders wear Lynch Ford sponsored warm up jerseys before each game. At the conclusion of each season, these jerseys have been auctioned off with all proceeds benefiting the camp. Thank you to the generosity of Lynch Ford and RoughRider fans. Lynch has been wonderful to camp, through the Gala and so much more. (L-R) From Dan Lynch Ford Joe Kirby, V.P.; Lisa Lansing, BDC & Internet; Dan Lynch, President; and from the RoughRiders, Jeff Jauch, President & CEO and Mark Meyer Corporate Partnership Director. Every camper that comes to Camp Courageous is given a free t-shirt… which represents thousands of t-shirts. Someone has to taken them out of the box, sort, fold, and place them on shelves. This was a talent quickly learned....but also quickly forgotten after leaving camp. Board Member, Chris Wiese presents a check from LimoLink to Camp Courageous. This is an incredible organization dedicated to giving back to their communities. (L) Counselors Brittany Powell of Palmyra, MO and (R) Caroline Hayward of Winsted, CT are pictured with camper Justin Harford of Iowa City as they wait for their turn to go horseback riding. Justin had a great time at camp. His counselors awarded him the Archery Award at the end of his week, an activity that he really enjoyed. We hope to see Justin back again soon!

Camp used almost everything and what could not be used headed to the Camp’s Garage Sale... all to benefit camp. Helping Laura are her sons Tom and Dick Conrad. Laura has two other sons, Jerry and Denny. A great family! 6 For many years Rose Nuernberger, from Bettendorf, volunteered at the local nursing home doing arts and crafts projects with the residents through the “Our Nursing Home Craft Ministry.” Unable to continue with her volunteer work, she decided she would like to donate all her project material and patterns to Camp Courageous. Shown are Ken and Rose Nuernberger and board member Jim Klinger (who helped load the items and deliver them to camp.) The Iowa State 4-H leaders held a retreat earlier this year and distributed camp’s needs list. This group certainly came through! They collected a huge donation of items ranging from medical supplies, arts and crafts items, paper products, bubble wrap to stamps! Diana Cox, from Iowa City, organized and delivered the generous donation. Camp is very grateful to this thoughtful group. While Diana was at camp, she and her family enjoyed a tour. JULY 2012 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org Had a wonderful visit with camp supporter and community advocate, Norma Mulligan Denlinger of Dubuque. Norma and the Becker Family go back 80+ years to childhood friends. I recently had the opportunity to spend an afternoon with Norma. She is incredibly involved in her community from United Way to the Board of the Dubuque Racing Association and dozens of organizations in between. When I arrived for my 1 PM visit, Norma was just returning from a meeting, representing United Way with our friend, Gary Gansmer, Director of Hillcrest Family Services. In 2006, Norma received the First Citizen Award in Dubuque. She exemplifies the finest things in life and believes to give is to receive. When visiting about a variety of subjects, one comment Norma made, has stuck with me… “Who am I to judge someone else, when I have not walked in their shoes?” She is a brilliant lady and our visit will be one I will always remember and I feel blessed our paths have crossed. Hawkeye Tailgate for Camp Courageous An incredible day was had by campers during the 7th Annual Hawkeye Tailgate for Camp Courageous. Members of the University of Iowa football team, coaches, and staff met with campers and their families. Thank you to these sponsors for helping make possible the University of Iowa Hawkeye Football Team Experience. University of Iowa Seniors, along with Coach Ferentz, sit behind a line of tables to sign the camper items, along with pennants provided by PMCI. Charles and Bev Daws were multi-tasking in late March when they made a delivery to camp from 2 different organizations. Bev belongs to the Hope UCC Quilters as well as the VFW Ladies Aux. #788. The quilters were busy this winter making 16 fun, colorful quilts for the campers to enjoy. The VFW Ladies Aux. #788 were also busy collecting 5,879 card fronts! Camp is so thankful to have friends like these folks. It was a treat to have the Linn-Mar Success Center attend this year’s event. A tremendous program with great students, instructors, aids, and support team! The key players for the camp team are (L-R) Chic Ejiasi, Director of Player Development at the Univ. of Iowa; Bonnie Davis with Martin Bros., who is responsible for the tremendous picnic meal for campers and players; Sandy Bland with the Petroleum Marketers of Iowa, who provided the great pennants this year the campers loved having the players and coach sign; Stacey Thompson, formerly with Kum & Go, and continues to play the key role in having all the pieces come together, and her husband Matt Thompson, representing Gilcrest Lumber, a sponsor of the event. Matt has been involved since the beginning. It is a great team! A big thank you to Brian Gay, who, along with the Dubuque Advertiser (Greg Birkett) put on the Annual Fishing Event For Camp Courageous. A big success! To schedule a presentation about Camp… and it’s work with individuals with disabilities for your business, club, or organization please call 319-465-5916, ext. 2100 or [email protected]. Thank you to the 5th District Jim Beam Clubs for collecting items and money to support the camp. The local Five Seasons Club is particularly good to camp by recommending the donations be made to Camp Courageous. Marginal Note: Don’t go through life, grow through life. 7 Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous a big success! Thank you Cedar Valley Street Rods for 25 Wonderful Years! In 1985 the Cedar Valley Street Rods (CVSR) began a relationship with Camp Courageous as a result of Life Investor’s 25th Anniversary celebration. LI had a sports car they were raffling off, with the proceeds to go to Camp Courageous. Several CVSR members came to LI and bought a good number of tickets. From those humble beginnings was born a relationship that has included fund raisers and volunteer activities… there has been no aspect of camp they have not been a part. Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous had its start in 1988 as an out growth of Jim Dalton’s WMT Rock-n-Roll Reunion. In 1988 the future of the Rock-n-Roll Reunion was in question, so a group of Cedar Valley Street Rod folks and others joined forces to start “Cruisin’ For Camp Courageous” with the first event held in downtown Cedar Rapids. Pictured are some of the members of the Cedar Valley Street Rods who put the Cruisin’ event on each year. It takes a lot of time and dedication by this group and others. Due to all the expenses affiliated with a downtown event it was decided to move the event to Toys R Us the next year and then the Amanas. Once again, due to costs that were going to be added to the show it moved in 1993 and 1994 to the Great Jones County Fair grounds. Finally, in 1995, Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous was moved to the camp where it set a record with more than 200 cars registering for the annual event (doubling the number of cars in 1994). The 2012 show had 400 show cars around the camp grounds with a record amount of money raised for the camp! Special Thank You to Mary and Brad Johnson, along with the committee that have hung in there over the years, when it would have been easy to say this is too much work. They didn’t… for that we are very grateful. This page sponsored by: Phone 319-462-6131 www.jonesregional.org 8 Thank you to our good friends at Clipper Turbine Works in Cedar Rapids for having a car show for Camp Courageous. Above are Larry Adard, Dean Brown and Dave Wheatley. Dave has been active in Cruisin' For Camp Courageous since it began. Once again, Karri Parrot had her annual holiday party and requested no gifts, but instead, a donation of needed items for camp. Her friends really came through! Karri and Brett Zuck delivered the items and did some shopping in the camp store. JULY 2012 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org Camp Courageous is run on donations, without government assistance, without formal sponsorship, or paid fund raisers. What this means is that everything that is given to camp; whether it be food, time, materials, or financial support; goes directly to benefit over 6,000 individuals with special needs who are touched by the camp each year. Listed below are those who have contributed money, time, and/or supplies from March 21, 2012 to June 19, 2012.

Reiter Camp Courageous has been awarded a $40,000 grant from the Dubuque Racing Association to be applied toward the installation of a bridge that will provide safe access from one side of the camp’s new Lake Todd to the other. The DRA grant committee members recognized the importance of this project and the safety provided for over 6,000 individuals with specials needs served at camp each year who will be using the bridge. It will provide a low risk environment for campers to fish and allows campers with walkers and wheelchairs to easily cross and access the new lake pavilion for activities. Last year the DRA provided a grant that was applied toward the installation of a perimeter fence around the lake property. They have been friends of camp for many years providing funding toward projects including a bus and mini-bus, a water system for camp, purchasing defibrillators, building the Jungle Gym, furnishing the staff dorm, and purchasing office furniture for the visitor’s center.

Peter had a great time and I know how much preparation and hard work- every day- and every hour ,each and every one of you do to assure that these weeks’ are successful and fun. We want to thank you for the individual attention and care with which you carry out your due diligence. In a week like this past one with such a full house, the organization and details of that care show. Camp Courageous carries a strong reputation with us and so many other families and campers based on this hard work. We thank you all. It is a terrific enrichment opportunity for Peter and he thoroughly enjoys coming. In our case we know that Peter loves coming because all of you are so attentive to his wants and needs. Your patience and good will are evident in his reports. The fact that each of you knows his name and use it (even when he can’t remember your names all the time—or ever!) is testimony. He loves that people want to know about him. To each of you, who help to ensure a safe, clean, productive, orderly, and fun environment, please know that your work shows and is highly valued by families and dozens of caregivers. One only has to watch at the end of the week to see the impact on the faces of departing campers. In Peter’s case, he was tearful with gratitude and joy when I first asked him if he had enjoyed himself. In summary, we are grateful and indebted that your love for these special folk is transparent and heartfelt. Sincerely, Peter's Parents (L-R) Counselor Shayna Cooper of Odebolt, IA and camper Jesse Perkins of Iowa City, IA are pictured as they visit the animals in the Nature Center.

Quint Milligan over 30 years ago as a hardworking and dedicated Camp Courageous Manchester Garage Sale volunteer. Her strong work ethic and spirited personality, drew me to her immediately. Alice recently passed away at the age of 100. I have a love for history, particularly when it comes to me first hand from a person that lived it. Alice was very open about sharing her memories....so with the help of Margie McFadden, Alice’s niece, here are a few highlights of a fascinating life. Alice had been born February 19th, 1912 to John and Sophia Hemmer Quint. She started early helping take care of the family and farm work. At 13 she cooked, cleaned, canned and babysat for another couple for 2-dollars-aweek, which she gave to her parents to help with family expenses. After this she went to work for the Shears to help in the house, but ended up milking cows, and as Alice explained, being a “hired man” on the farm. All this again for $2.00 a week until she was 15 or 16 years-of-age. From there she went to work at the County Home as a cook for 4-years. At the age of 20 she came to Cedar Rapids to work for the Killian Family. Mrs. Killian was ill at the time. Alice remembers taking her own light bulb which was a higher wattage so she could see to do her needle work. Alice had to hide it or take it with her when she had a day off, as Mrs. Killian would replace it with a lower wattage. This was in the 30’s and 40’s. Alice left the Killian’s to help her sisterin-law who was sick at the time. In 1947 the butler and cleaning lady for Howard Hall came looking for Alice to ask her to work as a cook for the Halls. Alice believed the Killians referred her to them. Alice explained that she was just a country girl and country cook. Alice also wanted to wait until after her brother’s wedding in a few days. They agreed so after the wedding she started work for the Halls. Alice remembers the first night there when Leo the Lion roared. It nearly scared her to death. Alice enjoyed her time with the Halls. Alice described the Halls as just regular Marvin Kacer - In memory of Alice Campbell Gary and Kay Kalius - In memory of Betty Bellon Michael and Rose Marie Kane Michial and Mary Kane - In memory of Lynn Marie Smith Greg Karasek - In memory of Rich Muszynski Travis Kasner Robert and Janis Kazimour Sue Kazimour - In honor of Happy Mother’s Day to Jean Kazimour Cheryl Keating Jamie Keilholtz Mike and Marietta Kelly Frank King R.C. and Marilyn Kitterman - In memory of Lynn Marie Smith Aaron Kjar James and Mary Klinger Milver and Mary Ann Klouda - In memory of Mary Dostal Frank Knapp Ginny Kneisel Keith Knight Lyle and Dianna Knutson Robert Kocer - In memory of Betty Bellon Rodney and Nancy Kodros 12 Marion Koontz Lillian Kopecky - In memory of Albert Kopecky Judd and Rose Krabbenhoeft Don and Deb Krall John and Elizabeth Krall - In memory of Pat Daniels Joyce Kuba - In memory of Lynn Marie Smith Larry and Helen Kubalek Steve and Sue Kullander - In memory of Maxine Stepanek and Marilyn Benda Kathyrn Lafontaine - In memory of Lynn Smith Leah Lander - In memory of Ruth Klehfoth Wes and Pam Landon Tom LaVelle Charisse Lawrence Erma Leary - In memory of Kim Brolin David Lee Robert and Judith Lehman - In memory of Lynn Marie Smith Steven and Karen Lehmann - In memory of Betty Bellon Mrs. Janithe Lewis - In honor of Betty Lacina’s birthday Alice at Brucemore by the ice box in the kitchen where she spent most of her time as cook. people. They both helped Alice learn to set the table for special dinners. Howard was known to step into the kitchen to help prepare special dishes. Alice cooked for many dignitaries including a President, company leaders, and many foreign guests. Alice left Brucemore to marry in 1949. Over Alice’s young life she saved and also gave to her parents to help them with expenses. She bought a farm South of Delhi, Iowa where her parents lived until her marriage when she and her husband moved in. She worked the farm and kept the house with her husband for many years. When they retired she moved to Manchester, IA. There she worked in the kitchen of a restaurant, walking to and from work, never missing a day because of the weather or illness. She volunteered many places. Alice told many the one most dear to her heart was the volunteer work she did for Camp Courageous. Alice had a great personality and sense of humor. Some dear friends brought her to a casino and introduced her to a big, strong, security officer working the main door as their 99 year-old friend. The security officer told Alice she better be good, or they would need to remove her.

JULY 2012 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org Remembering Jack Steele We have so many fond memories of Jack Steele starting in 1978 with his role at United Airlines and the Pineapples for People Campaign for Camp Courageous. Jack, along with Marty Kloska, Phil Martin, and the whole United Family were so good to camp. In later years, it was Jack who would find the truck to load pineapples that were coming in at all hours and then find cooler space to store them until the sale. Tait & Dotty Cummins, were also great fans of Jack… they were all so dedicated. We all thought the world of Jack. He leaves a huge void in our lives and the lives of so many others he touched with his kindness… but what a beautiful legacy he leaves behind. Jack requested that all of his memorials go to Camp Courageous. Pictured (L) is Jack Steele when he assisted with the shipment of fresh pineapples for the Pineapples For People event. With Jack is Diane Hanna representing CRST… both deceased. For over 30 years Laverne Zumbach was involved with Camp Courageous. For most of those years he would entertain campers with his miniature horses, providing them rides, along with the opportunity to pet and care for the miniatures. Laverne was a huge hit with the campers, who fell in love with the miniature horses instantly. He even donated some miniatures to camp for the campers to enjoy the year round. Along with the miniature horses, Lavern would donate everything that was needed to feed and care for them, so there would be no cost to camp. Laverne was a wonderful man, with a heart of gold who never realized all the hearts he touched at Camp Courageous. Camp’s sympathy goes out to Marlene, along with their family and friends. -Charlie Camp’s friend, Bob Boehmke, of Walford, has passed away. Bob and his wife, Ruby, have been involved in camp for many years, individually and through the Five Seasons Beamer Club. Bob and Rudy are one of those couples that are always there for camp. Our sympathy goes out to Ruby, along with family and friends. Bob asked that his memorials go to Camp Courageous. The camp’s sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Rich Muszynski. Rich and his family were loyal supporters of the camp for years. Rich was a person who always put the needs of others first. He later became an inspiration to many of us, as he battled illness for nearly two decades. He was gracious in what he was dealt. Rich had the philosophy of, “do it right, and do it right away…” maybe knowing his time was limited. Rich Muszynski was a character. He loved a good joke, and could remember and deliver a joke. Rich asked that his memorials go to Camp Courageous. Rich’s legacy lives on in the wonderful people he leaves behind, particularly his wife, Ruth Ann; daughter, Lisa; and son, Chad. Marie Swope recently passed away. Marie was a wonderful lady who was incredibly involved in her community. Marie helped Camp Courageous grow from serving 211 campers with special needs back in the summer of 1974 to over 6,000 today. She helped sell pineapples for the camp, raffle tickets for a sports car Life Investors was giving away on their 25th Anniversary, with the proceeds going to camp, and so much more. I have Marie’s picture on my office wall from LI’s 25th Anniversary Celebration presenting a check, which at that time, was the biggest fund raiser in the history of camp. Marie has been dearly missed, but what a beautiful legacy she leaves behind. Our warm sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Kermit Doolittle, who has passed away at the age of 100. When Camp Courageous began its relationship with the Petroleum Marketers of Iowa, Kermit was among the first to jump on board with his support back in 1981. That support never wavered. We always knew we had a friend in Webster City no matter what we needed. Kermit was a wonderful man. What a beautiful legacy he leaves behind…. -Charlie Marginal Note: The chief danger in life is that you may take too many precautions. We were saddened to hear of the passing of Margo Ahrendsen’s mother, Rosemary Tumey. Rosemary had a fascinating life, starting in Canada and ending in Ryan. Like Margo, she was a very hard working and dedicated person. Our deepest sympathy goes out to Margo, her family, and friends. Rosemary asked that her memorials go to Camp Courageous. For years Joe & Rosie Peiffer of Cascade, IA would donate tons of sweet corn to Camp Courageous... enough that during those years the camp never bought corn. They, along with their wonderful friends would do everything from picking the corn to putting the finished product in the camp freezers. Joe & Rosie continued to collect pop tabs and seemed to never miss a camp breakfast. Joe will be dearly missed… Kay Yaw of Hampton IA brought happiness to more children with special needs, than he ever realized. He produced thousands of wood toys and puzzles that were given to the special campers who attended Camp Courageous. Each was a treasure to the camper and it symbolized their wonderful time at camp. We will dearly miss Kay. He brightened so many lives with his labor of love. Camp Courageous’ sympathy goes out to the family of Irene Shima from Solon. Irene’s husband of sixty-one years, Glenn stopped by camp with his daughter, Kayleen and her husband Mike Gardner (other family members are Connie & Dick Friedl and Emily & Kelly Friedl). Irene was a wonderful supporter of the camp and wanted to make sure her memorials came to Camp Courageous. The Family decided to put the memorial into the the Camp’s Perpetual Fund (Foundation) where Irene’s memorials will give to Camp Courageous forever. In the April 2012 edition of the Courier we wished Manchester Garage Sale Volunteer, Alice Milligan, a happy 100th birthday. Unfortunately, shortly after that she took a fall and broke her hip and never recovered from the trauma. She lived an exceptional life, caring for Mr. Killian, working for Howard Hall at Brucemore for years, all in Cedar Rapids and working on a farm in the Manchester area. She loved her volunteer work for Camp Courageous and she requested her memorials go to the camp. 21 Bill and Marlene Barnes - In memory of Marie O’Kelly Steve and Jane Eiben Larry and Michelle Johnson Zelda Kinkhead - In memory of Don Preslan Daryl Lang Lola Lang - In memory of Ronald Jarmon Janet Lentz - In memory of Bill Cooper Robert and Mary Rozinek - In memory of Gretchen Smith Judy Schaffer Steve and Judy Shaffer Rich Shanaham Don and Nikki Simmons - In memory of Pete Meyer, LyVonne DiMaria, and Wilma Simmons Eric and Kimberly Starry Ray and Lee Stephenson - In memory of Wes & Lois Runyan Roger and Margie Thompson ST.

Thank you to Mike McClain, P.E. The Jones County Engineer for donating to Camp this huge Mickey Mouse which the campers love to no end! It is currently located in the camp's office with campers enjoying their visits with Mickey! Thank you Mike for the gift, and as you prepare to retire we are grateful for your years of service to Jones County and for always being a dear friend of Camp Courageous. Bill Smith (R) and his mother Dorothy (L), accepted a check for $1000.00 to Camp Courageous from the H.J. Heinz Company, Dorothy has worked in the Camp Courageous nursing department for many years. Richard Rossmann from Preston delivered a trunk load of paper goods and large cans of vegetables to camp. The Preston Lions Club collected this generous donation. Richard and the Preston Lions have been good friends of camp for many years and we are very grateful to them. Thank you to Ken and Bev Johnston who dropped off tabs, items Bev made for the campers, and a check. Ken and I go back to 1980, when he was State Commander of the V.F.W, with Marj Byam as President of the Auxiliary and Camp Courageous was their project. It was a time when few had heard about the camp. Ken & Bev now spend winters in Arizona and summers in Minnesota, but always stop by the camp. Board President, Aaron Cook (L) presents Pictured Rocks United Methodist Church Camp Site Manager, Gary Wilson and his family, a Plaque of Appreciation for the tireless work he has done for Camp Courageous during his tenure at PRUMCC. We will miss Gary, Gwen, and Family and wish them the best as they return to Pennsylvania. Camp Courageous has been extremely fortunate to have the Camp Courageous Third Wednesday Bridge Club actively supporting camp since 1979! This wonderful group included Dotty Cummins, and still includes Honorary Board Member Liz Valliere and long time board member Kay Pitlik, along with many other active supporters of camp. A super group of ladies! Congratulations to camp's dear friends, Dien Nguyen and Ngan Cao on their recent wedding! Dien is the food service manager at the Marion Hy-Vee and Ngan is a cosmetologist and floral designer. They don't come any finer! Marginal Note: The only disability in life is a bad attitude. Eleanor Leazer and Bernice Koberg presented a check to Camp Courageous on behalf of the Durant Royal Neighbors of America. This group has been supportive of camp for many years and their generosity is greatly appreciated. Thank you to Jacque Lahr and her students, along with Lambert Elementary School in Manchester where they collected 109 pounds of tabs this year. Their total for this year was 143,008 tabs. They have now collected for 15 years and their total pounds of tabs in that time is 1,852 1/2. Or 2,430,948 tabs!! Unbelievable!

Fareway allowed customers to buy cases of food for the camp at a reduced cost. Normally, Fareway would take care of delivery, but the Whites personally dropped off their contribution. Thank you to the Whites and to the Fareway Stores participating in this year’s event. The Cases For Camp campaign held in March allowed Fareway shoppers to donate food at case prices to Camp Courageous. THANK YOU… to those who participated and to the Fareway Stores that help make this happen. Fareway provides the cases at cost and the camp will be able to redeem 191 cases of food products throughout the year as needed by the campers. Special thank you to the Stutsman Family, who once again came through with pallets of salt and a pallet of bentonite to help the camp with the water system. Stutsman's have been so good to camp, going back to the founder, Eldon Stutsman, a regular visitor to the camp. Here Jim Hochstedler from Stutsman stands along side several pallets of salt. A huge thank you to the DeWitt High School Leo Club for collecting a large supply of toilet paper for camp and their willingness to come and volunteer at camp! Great students! Thank you to Tom Schwartz, formerly of the Lowden Lions, for inviting Camp Courageous to give a program to the Eldridge Lions. There was a large crowd of great camp supporters for the program. The group had been collecting things for camp and they overflowed a car with their kindness! Special thanks to Lorenz and Marian Behrends who provided a huge supply of items. Super Group and a great night! We enjoyed working with Stephani Chappel, manager of the Monticello Pizza Ranch on their benefit for Camp Courageous. Also a special thank you to Brad Davis, from Manchester who is the owner of the Monticello Pizza Ranch. Great food and a great time! Half of all sales for a special Saturday went to camp! Marginal Note: There is no wealth but life. Happy Birthday to Frank Smith on his 88th! A loyal camp supporter, he headed up a number of Big Band events at camp and is just a "Great American!" Camp Courageous was fortunate to host this group representing the Monticello Chamber of Commerce. Camp Courageous has been very fortunate to be a part of this great community! A special thank you to Joan Bartenhagen and Linda Shoppa for stopping by Camp Courageous with memorials for their dad, Merle Glenney from Muscatine who recently passed away. They also have two brothers, Gary and Dwight. Their memorial money went toward providing medical supplies for the camp. Merle and recently deceased board member, Harland Hetzler, were the same age and good friends in Muscatine. (L-R) Camper Randy Parkhurst of Davenport, IA is pictured with counselor Cody Nichols of Colebrook, CT. Randy is using a modified bow that allows him to participate in archery. He attends Camp Courageous through the Handicapped Development Center. 27 It was a special honor for me to return to the high school I use to teach at, before coming to Camp Courageous, 33-years ago, to learn of their interest in doing something special for Camp Courageous. Sheri Lampe (Sheryl Erickson, as a student) (right) was key toward putting all this together. Sheri has given endless hours toward helping the camp over the years. With Sheri is my former principal, Richard Denley, and his daughter, Angela Moore, who is now a counselor at Central Lee. We had a wonderful potluck and it was a treat to see former teachers who came back and students, who now work within the school system. - Charlie Students watched a video about the camp, to get a feel for where they were volunteering. The students and staff put in a huge work day, accomplishing a lot and enjoying their stay. Many are interested in coming back and being on the staff. Many great counselors, like Haley Burgess and Hannah Seyb had their roots at Central Lee. Thank you to the Iowa City Old Capital Kiwanis for their recent donation. Along with their financial support, this group has donated plasticware for years. Ted Rettenmeyer started this project with Eldon Stutsman and it is carried on today by Al and Jan Wicks. Members have also come to camp to volunteer. Thank you! 28 A big thank you to Dr. Hill of DeWitt, who once again came through with his great day for Camp Courageous collecting all kinds of needed supplies! The Kaplan University Nursing Students visited in May for tours and became acquainted with all camp has to offer. They were so impressed, they returned with this large donation of items from camp’s needs lists. These ladies are awesome and we appreciate their generous donations. A very big thank you to our wonderful group of volunteers from Excelsior Springs, MO. They come every year willing to work hard doing anything we ask of them. This year they helped lay track for the train expansion. Thanks to group leader Bev Claypool (back row, second from left) and everyone else for their dedication to camp. Once again Rod Christ and crew came out this spring and attacked the pile of logs at the camp. Everyone really appreciates their willingness to come out and help. Join Lance and Liesa Greco for this camp fund raiser! Abby Eiben from Hopkinton made a wonderful donation of paper products, plates, Ziplock bags, bowls and other much needed items. It is wonderful to see the generosity of young people like Abby. Thank you so much! Denny Zahrt (center) was so impressed with “Gordy & Debbie's Tribute To George Strait” that he lined them up in Branson to give a program in Davenport to benefit Camp Courageous. A nice turn out was on hand at Brubaker Masonic Lodge in Davenport to enjoy the Gordy and Debbie show. Great folks! Thank you to these Anamosa High School Ag students who volunteered at camp for a United Way Day of Caring. JULY 2012 — Camp Courageous — www.campcourageous.org Anamosa High School students and teachers spent a day helping Camp Courageous. They widened trails, spread wood chips, planted flowers, washed buses, and more. Thank you to this group for all of their hard work! Marge Bohlken of Anamosa is the latest person to be added to the group of people that are volunteering to be apple peelers in the Camp Courageous kitchen. Their efforts will pay off all summer and fall and campers enjoy applesauce, apple deserts, and more! Thank you to Marge and all the volunteers. Thanks once again to Crista Weber from the University of Dubuque for sending us a wonderful group of nursing students to help with a respite care weekend. The students worked as volunteer counselors for a weekend this spring and the campers really enjoyed getting to know them. We are very grateful to the Delmar Lions and their friends for spending a day, cutting up down trees and working in the woods. A tremendous amount of work was accomplished, thanks to this great group! Thanks to Deanna Licht and the Senior High Fellowship group from Zion UCC in Lowden for spending a day at camp. The group came on their day off from school to help with spring clean-up in the woods at camp. They moved a lot of brush and eradicated a lot of garlic mustard. The Soroptimist Club of Cedar Rapids and Marion spent a morning volunteering at camp in late March. As usual this fantastic group came ready to work! They folded thousands of camper t-shirts and sorted them so they will be ready for the campers to enjoy. It’s always a treat to work with this wonderful group. L-R: Shirley Smith, Theresa Lent, Abby Lent, Karen Vlasek, Carrie van Houten, Becky Moser, Camp Board Member Mary Van Houten, and Linda Stoll. Once again, camp was fortunate to have a wonderful group of nursing students from NICC in Peosta. Their wonderful instructor, Mary Hoeger, always brings a terrific group and they make a big impact on the campers’ respite experience. Thanks to Mary and her students, Danielle Sarazin, Betsi Borland, Desiree Kline, Sandy DeBuhr, Tami Clark, Erica Thoeni, Emily LeGrand, Megan Freund, Ali Neuses, and Lacy Loudon. Each year a group from Stanwood assists with cutting up ham for the Omelet Breakfast. Pictured are (L-R) Wayne and Jo Brown, Karen Tenley, Megan Meyer, Carol Worby, Judy and Ray Linder, Larry Hartig (Mt. Vernon), and Dean Wolfe. Thank you to Roman Welter (kneeling with a cane) who hosted his fellow soldiers from the 3/34th and 2/21st Infantry Battalion of the Korean War. Each in their 80s, the group has gone from over 100 members, to far less. From seven states, it was an honor for Camp Courageous to have them tour the camp. This wonderful group of veterans, lost several of their dear friends in war and since. We are also grateful for their donation and many kind words for the work being done! Marginal Note: We can’t plan life. All we can do is be available for it. The “Chick Click” traveled all the way from Horton, KS to deliver a large donation of paper products, foods, maintenance items, arts and crafts supplies and other needed items. Mr. and Mrs. Kirk Gaskell (L) learned of camp through their involvement with the Power Wagon group. Loann and Gregg Morton from Fairfield are also members of this group and are real champions of Camp Courageous. Their son, Patrick, was a former camper who loved his time at camp. The Morton’s told the Gaskells how wonderful camp is and they passed this on to their friends. All were intrigued and wanted to learn more. They enjoyed the camp DVD and a tour and talked about possibly returning as volunteers. What a wonderful group to meet! Huge thanks to Shannon Duffy and the rest of the group from St. Stephen the Witness Catholic Student Center in Cedar Falls. They enjoyed a beautiful week during their spring break from UNI and helped as volunteer counselors. It was a beautiful week and everyone really appreciated all the work these students did for the campers. Group members include Vincent Chukwuemeka, Brittany Porter, Haley Brimmer, Courtney Derocher, Sarah Deutsch, Christina Ehlers, Peter Ickes, Molly Scullin, Lauren Schmitt, Ashley Hill, Melissa Airy, Jessica McEvoy, and Richard Thompson. North Linn National Honor Society students came to camp to help with projects around camp.
