Holiday Parties - Camp Courageous

Thank you to
Lorenz & Marian
Behrens of
Eldridge IA for
their donation
of a car load
of items, which
included this
beautiful quilt
and many other
items. They have
been wonderful
friends of the
camp both
individually and as members of several
organizations.
It was a treat to have the Scarlet Old Hatters
tour Camp Courageous. Most of the ladies
were from the Cedar Rapids and Marion area.
The group ate with the campers and toured
the camp. Great group who really enjoy life!

wonderful donations she and her organization
collected for camp. She said the can tabs
collected has come from friends and family

Bureau Women has been very generous to
camp through the years with their gifts of much
needed items and frequently volunteer doing
whatever project is asked of them. Thank you
so much ladies!

Molly came all the way from Kirksville, MO to

was great to see you Molly! Hope to see you
