Dear Editor: On behalf of CIEDC, I would like to thank the
following individuals and businesses that contributed in any way to
our CIEDC-Kiwanis Summer Day Camp June 26-30. The summer day camp
serves 20 area low-income children from the ages of 6-10 for one
week in the summer.
Thanks to Kickapoo Park for accommodating us at your facilities.
Thank you to Joel Beard at Domino's for opening your doors to us
during hours you are usually closed. We appreciated the tour and
appreciated you letting us make our own pizzas and donating soda for
lunch. Thank you to McDonald's for your gift of snack cookies. Thank
you to Wendy's for the delicious Frostys. Thanks to Russell Stover
Candies for being so open for us to go to your store for a tour and
to participate in decorating cookies. We really look forward to your
hospitality every year. Thank you to Roy Logan at the Rec Center for
allowing our campers to swim at a reduced fee. They all enjoyed
their time there and we appreciate your generosity. Thank you to
Charlie Lee at IGA for the donation of snack items. You are always
so good to us and we appreciate it very much. Thank you to Kroger
for the gift card that allowed us to purchase juice boxes for the
children. Thank you to NAPA Auto Parts for your donation. Thank you
to Mel-O-Cream and Casey's for the breakfast items. The community
support was wonderful, and without your generosity we could not have
had such a successful camp.

 Thank you to the following staff for all your donations or help
for our camp: Kathy Shepherd and Kelly Comerford for donating gifts
for our icebreaker activity, Marcia Phillips for sewing our camp
bags. Thank you to Amy Shreve and Jann Danosky for taking time from
your summer schedule to help as needed. Thank you to the Head Start
program for allowing us the use of your bus. Thanks to the teen
volunteers and summer workers that helped all or at least part of
the week: Kayla Jenkins, Vince Ingram and Sean McIntosh. You all
helped the children have a great week.
Special thank you to Darla Buss for giving us so much time out of
your summer schedule and contributing in such a huge way. Camp could
not have been so successful without you.
Much appreciated thanks to the Lincoln Kiwanis organization and
other monetary donors. Without your monetary support every year
local children could not have a fun week of camp.
Sincerely,
Cathy McIntosh, CIEDC and
Kiwanis Summer Day Camp director
(Posted July 15, 2006)
