The VFW and Auxiliary have been supporting<br />
camp since those first years. They have<br />
consistently been camp's largest supporter<br />
of the campership fund. Pictured (L-R) at the<br />
2011 convention is State VFW Commander<br />
Darrell Blasberg and State Auxiliary<br />
President Ann Bennett.<br />
A big thank you to Bailey Dudley from<br />
Pipestone Veterinary Clinic of Iowa in<br />
Independence, for the big fund raiser they did<br />
for camp, including this silent auction table.<br />
Julie Thoma's son, Wade attends <strong>Camp</strong><br />
<strong>Courageous</strong> yearly and his sister, Krista,<br />
works for the clinic. Their fund raiser for camp<br />
was called Random Acts of Kindness. Each<br />
location (they have two clinics and many<br />
sow farms as part of their company) the<br />
company is given $50 to do what they wish<br />
with as long as it is donated to someone or<br />
some organization. In turn, the location with<br />
most money raised, best new idea, or most<br />
original idea, gets a prize. Its usually lunch<br />
bought or something like that. This year's<br />
idea was to hold a silent auction at the clinic<br />
for a few weeks for camp. The event was a<br />
huge success! Thank you to all the staff who<br />
gave so much to make it a success!<br />
Thanks to this group from Graceland<br />
University for spending a day at camp during<br />
the summer session at <strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Courageous</strong>.<br />
This group is composed of teachers who<br />
spent their summer continuing their own<br />
education. As part of their class, they spent<br />
some time at camp doing group initiative<br />
activities, touring and learning more about<br />
the camp, and helping us out with a volunteer<br />
project. Thanks to Amy Becicka for lining<br />
everything up and to all the group members<br />
for their willingness to help.<br />
