Camp Fire Guild Shatters Record in 2009
Many thanks to Jody Carstens and her Camp Fire Guild Board and Event Committees for presenting Camp Fire with a check in the amount of $195,000 for 2009. An outpouring of community and corporate support of both the Author Luncheon and Big Red Tailgate along with many hours of work by dedicated Guild volunteers made this gift possible. As we thank the Guild for their support in 2009, we welcome Shelley Siemers as the 2010 President as well as new and returning Guild members to bring another outstanding year for Camp Fire and the kids in our community that rely on our after school and prevention education programs!
