2016 campers
Laurie Overson
We are delighted to show you our 2016 campers getting ready to board the camp bus for a wonderful week at camp this past June. I can’t begin to tell you just how life-changing the camp experience is for these girls!
For some, it is the first time they are away from home and that can be a scary proposition for a 10 year old. They may be shy and withdrawn when they leave for camp, but when they return they are so chatty and happy that it’s hard to believe these are the same girls. They have made new friends, experienced new activities and learned that they could accomplish things they never dreamed of.
We have so appreciated your support of our past fundraisers and we hope we can count on you again this year. Our annual poinsettia sale will be coming up in October. You can purchase your plants through any T.T.T. Chapter AZ-P member. Also, we will be at the Eagle’s Nest ticket kiosk each week in October. Our September article will contain more details about the sale.
T.T.T. is a national organization of women that was formed in 1911 for the specific purpose of enabling underprivileged fourth grade girls to attend accredited summer camps. Even over a century ago, the positive life-changing effects of camp were realized and many T.T.T. campers have grown up to become T.T.T. members so that they can help other girls to have the wonderful experience they had. Thank you for helping us keep the camp experience available for deserving girls in the Goodyear/Avondale area.
