<strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Courageous</strong> is very grateful to Lisa<br />
Charley, Marketing Coordinator of Runde Auto<br />
Group, and Rundes for their donation of a $500<br />
Lowe's Gift Card to buy many of the supplies<br />
the camp needs along with bags of footballs<br />
and monkeys for the campers. A wonderful<br />
group that have been long-time supporters.<br />
It is always a treat to have the Two Rivers Sams attend a breakfast! They come in numbers and<br />
along with a nice check, they made quilts, hats, and gloves for the campers. Wonderful group!<br />
Bob and Nellie Vetter and their son, Dick Vetter<br />
are regular workers at the camp's breakfasts<br />
and open houses. Dick actually celebrated his<br />
68th birthday at the breakfast with a lodge full<br />
of breakfast goers singing Happy Birthday to<br />
Dick. Bob and Nellie are in their 90s and are<br />
real hard workers! Great family!<br />
The breakfast isn't over until we see our good<br />
friends from the Iron Pegasus. This great<br />
group comes for each breakfast, not only<br />
to eat but to clean-up the mess. They are a<br />
breath of fresh air, after a long day!<br />
Greater Cedar Rapids Open selects<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Courageous</strong> as primary<br />
charity of their annual event<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Courageous</strong> was very<br />
fortunate to be this year’s primary<br />
beneficiary of the Greater Cedar<br />
Rapids Open. The Greater Cedar<br />
Rapids Open was created in 1999<br />
thanks to the incredible efforts of<br />
Mark Lemon and Jim McPartland.<br />
Each year this event is held at<br />
the Hunter’s Ridge Golf Course in<br />
Marion and each year it gets bigger<br />
and better. Zach Johnson was one of<br />
the first to win this event in 2001.<br />
Thank you to the board of directors<br />
of the GCRO for being so good to<br />
<strong>Camp</strong> <strong>Courageous</strong> over the years!<br />
Pictured are members of the Greater Cedar<br />
