Camp Emmaus in Mount Morris, Ill., is celebrating gifts
that have paid off the expense of a major swimming pool renovation, and
is planning a celebration of 50 years of leadership by Bill and Betty
Hare. "On behalf of the Camp Board, I would like to extend a thank you
for your contributions which have made it possible to completely pay off
the expense of the pool renovation," said a thank you to supporters
from Mike Schnierla. "The pool renovation, which was completed three
years ago, cost in excess of $250,000. Your gifts and the monies from
the recent tree sale have allowed us to retire this debt. THANK YOU!"
The e-mail note passed along by the Illinois and Wisconsin District
office, also announced preparations to celebrate the 50th anniversary of
Bill and Betty Hare as camp managers. A 50th Anniversary Celebration
that will include a
Celebration-Appreciation Dinner is planned for June
13. Later in the year a Fall Festival is planned as a community event
with a variety of activities for families to attend together.
