| Berkeley Heights Girl Scouts Campership Fund |
In January 2001 our Service Unit formed the Berkeley Heights Girl Scouts Campership Fund. It started with the generous donations of Girl Scout Families and has been funded since by troops in our community who wanted to make a difference. The fund makes money available to the Girl Scouts in our community who wish to participate in Summer Resident Camp or other overnight programs sponsored by our Service Unit but for whom these programs are simply not affordable.
Sometimes I think it's hard for us to realize that in this community there are girls who are in need and I'm very proud that the Berkeley Heights Girl Scouts have not lost sight of this issue. Establishing this fund and helping these girls by keeping it well funded holds a special place in my heart and I'm hoping I can count on you to help me in my efforts.
By now, everyone should have a good idea of how they did with their cookies. If each troop can contribute $25 of their cookie profits towards the Campership Fund we should be in good shape. This very small donation will make a huge difference if every troop contributes. With summer coming rapidly I ask that you take a quick moment to send a check to BHGS Campership Fund and mail to me.
If you have questions, please do not hesitate to contact me (jenlombardi@comcast.net or 665-0047) ...if your question is can you give more than $25 - the answer is YES!
Thanks as always for your support!
