Staff Appreciation Event

No one says it better than the parents of our campers, when they say thank you to the staff for the work they do with the campers.

Tonight we were blessed with parents, Dave Ring, Jay Wetch and Sharon and Charlie Morgenstein along with past staff members Allyson (Westrud) Dressel and Andrea Johnson speaking at the staff Appreciation Event.

My friend and co worker of 24 years, Margaret Schuster sang "Wonderful World" with Peter Davis on key board. Samantha Rauscher made us smile with photo and live video of the camper over the past 6 weeks. Verlyn and Jennie, thank you for helping fix the problems with technology wasn't on Samantha's side tonight.

We are thankful to Caitlin, Katie L, Linda K, Diane and all the support staff. A Special thanks to the folks from the Camp Friendship Ladies Auxilary and the United Methodist Church of Kimball for donating the decorations and decorating the dining hall in our staff colors of yellow and blue. The fresh flowers were so nice to have and your kind faces were fabulous!

It was great that tonight the staff could sit down and eat without having to help somene else eat first, pass medications or do the dishes. It was wonderful that many of you brought with you your friends and family tonight.

Jay Wetch quote a verse from Hillary Clinton tonight and whether you are a fan of the Clinton's or not, I believe Hillary had it right when she said, "it take a village to raise a child", it also take a village to coordinate a lovely event like tonights program. Thanks everyone.

In friendship,
Chet
