Many Signed Up For Camp at Our Community Open House

While the doors of our new facility have now been open to the public for a few months, we had yet to celebrate with our friends and neighbors all the work that has and will be accomplished. An unveiling or, if you will, the "cutting of the ribbon" ceremony, had yet to occur.


Since the zip of the saw and bang of the hammer is becoming less of a familiar sound in our city office as our building project is progressing and because the warm weather has brought with it one our favorite organizational seasons - summer camp! - we figured it is about time to cut that ribbon with a Community Open House.


Sunshine staff, camp counselors, and neighborhood leaders took ownership of various aspects of the event. Our staff guided community members through our renovated facility and explained, along the way, our programs. Camp counselors hit the streets with reminders to parents to sign-up their children (or grandchildren) for the camp as well as had their first conversations with the kids that will soon take up house in their cabins. Neighborhood leaders helped us immensely by volunteering their time and food for the event.

Summer Camp 2007 promises to be a fun, rewarding, Spirit-filled season!

We look forward to continuing to update you periodically.
