Cruisin’ for 2014 Camp Courageous Record year for attendance at camp!

This year’s “Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous,” put on by the Cedar Valley Street Rods car club, was an overwhelming success.

A record number of car entries, as well as a record public turn-out, put this year’s event in the books as the biggest Cruisin’ event ever held at the camp.

Petroleum Marketers and Convenience Stores of Iowa GOLF OUTING A HUGE SUCCESS!

Thanks to a wonderful PMCI staff, super sponsors, and some dedicated golfers, this years PMCI 19th Annual Golf Outing in Waterloo was a huge success.

Camper Luke Wahl of Jesup (and MomCarrie Wahl) was the spokesperson for Camp Courageous this year. He had everyone laughing, cheering and he ended up gettig a standing ovation...a huge hit...especially when he discussed he didn't know if he would have any money, due to taxes. Also on the line-up was Brett Zuck (and his Mom-Annette)... who also received a standing ovation. A very memorable and wonderful day!

CAMP NEED:

BANQUET TABLES

We cannot thank Gary Ketelsen (far left) enough for having a huge Pancake Breakfast as a customer appreciation at the end of January. It is a free will donation event, and Gary's customers are very generous. Gary then matches all those generous donations..which is incredible! Along with this, Ketelsen's RV played the key role in furnishing the camp's new caboose. Super folks! Jim McDonough presents a check from his 2013 Holiday Grande. We can't thank Jim enough for all he does for camp. An incredible talented and gifted performer... a show not to miss. His 2014 Benefit Concerts for the camp can be seen at www.pianofavorites.com/Performances.asp

Thank you to Paul Haine for inviting me to give a program to the Lone Tree Presbyterian Mariners. Super group… where we had the opportunity to catch-up on Mrs. P, the Dodsons, and so many great folks. This group has been involved with the camp, almost since the start. The night will be a memorable one, as a tornado was going over Lone Tree just before dinner.

The Camp Courageous lodge is used almost every week, and tables are constantly on the move. From campers eating their meals, camper events, rental groups, camp breakfasts, benefits… tables are always in need. The current tables are now over 10 years old and showing signs of the heavy amount of use that they get. The current style of aluminum tables have worked well and are easy to move (which is very important!). These tables are $430 each and 50 tables are needed when the lodge is in full use. If you can help with the cost of over $21,500 to replaces these tables then please contact: Charlie at charlie@campcourageous. org or call 319-465-5916, ext. 2100. Donors contributing $1,000 or more will have their name on a plaque that will be located in the lodge.

Congratulations to Jay-Lynn-O in celebrating 20 years of helping Camp Courageous with their golf outings that emphasis fun, fellowship, and philanthropy. What began with 12 buddies on a spur-of-the-moment golf road trip has blossomed into the traveling extravaganza known far and wide as the JayLynn-O Golf Tour. The organizers include (L-R) Randy McDonnell, Lynn Rinehart, Jay Watson, and Steve Roe. Incredible group!

(L-R) Board Member Steve Carter, Duane Mosser, Board President Winnie Williams, and Aly Jobson present Duane and the Anamosa Family Food with the camp Trail Blazer Award. This is camp’s 40th Anniversary, and back during camp’s earliest years the Family Foods Store in Anamosa started supporting the camp. Duane Mosser and his staff do a super job and for being a fairly small operation, they are wonderful about giving back to their community & area. Duane supplied all the cases of green peppers and the 150 pounds of onions that went into feeding as many as 3,000 folks for this year’s omelet breakfast. Duane is super!

Camp would like to thank Beta Sigma Phi for making them their 2014 state project. Special thanks to Janean A. Blake from the Cedar Rapids/ Marion City Council and her committee for all their work. Beta Sigma Phi was one of the first state wide organizations to take on the camp in 1976. Dotty Cummins was very active in the original project.

SUMMER SPLASH DANCE!

The annual Lynch Ford Chevrolet/Rough Riders Autographed Hockey Jersey Auction was a huge success this year.. with 100% of the money collected going to Camp Courageous. From left to right: Jeff Jauch (Rough Riders), Joe Kirby (Lynch Ford Chevrolet), Lisa Lansing (Lynch Ford Chevrolet), Mark Meyer (Rough Riders), and Dan Lynch (Lynch Ford Chevrolet). We can’t thank the Rough Riders enough, as they entertain many of camp’s campers and staff and Dan Lynch who is one of the most wonderful supporters of Camp Courageous. All are great folks of the utmost integrity and we wish them all much success!

A huge thank you to Dr. Hill of DeWitt who collected a car load of items for the camp, along with wonderful monetary donations that came from his customers and friends. Dr. Hill has spent the past 20 years being a tireless advocate for Camp Courageous. Along with being a collection point for Camp’s needed items, he also sells fruitcakes and a wide variety of other things for the camp throughout the year. A great person!

The annual Summer Splash Dance for campers was held at Camp Courageous on Thursday, June 5, 2014. Campers and staff enjoyed a great summer evening as they danced on camp’s Riley Court. Great music and refreshments were enjoyed by all. During the dance some prizes were awarded and winners are pictured below.

Will Turner, manager of the Monticello Pizza Ranch, and his wife Alaina, recently presented camp with a check for one-half of all proceeds from the annual Camp Courageous Pizza Ranch Benefit held in March. A special thank you also to generous owners Brad and Shirley Davis.

Congratulations to Jim and Elsie Foels on their 50th Wedding Anniversary! Jim has been involved with Camp Courageous for years, starting out as an outstanding volunteer and moving on to the board of directors. Elsie has also been a wonderful volunteer. Jim drives from Brooklyn, IA at least once a month for board meetings. A wonderful couple!

(L-R) Amy McCall presents a check to Camp Volunteer Georgia Johnson to become a major sponsor of the Camp Courageous Pineapple Gala. Amy's first Pineapple Gala was last year and she was so impressed with the event and the camp, she wanted to get more involved.

Camp Courageous is very fortunate to have a super Pineapple Committee composed of (L-R) Paul Steege, (AV); Don Kouba, (camp supporter); Phil Martin, board member & retired United Airlines; Jim Klinger, (Com. Chr. and board member), Mary Van Houten, (Kirkwood Hotel and board member); Wade Chalstrom (Marion Hy-Vee Store Director); Sharon Kouba (camp supporter); Pat Becker, (camp supporter); Winnie Williams (board president); Ralph Palmer (Gala MC and The Ar-Jay Center); Mary Daugherty, (HyVee Marketing Director); Georgia Johnson, (camp supporter); and Larry Greco, (board member).

Thank you to the Faith Lutheran Church Women of Andover, IA for their labor of love that went into making these quilts and collecting pop tabs. Pictured is Rose Anne Smith delivering everything to camp. A great group.

Honorary Board Member Marty Kloska, of Reno NV, stands before a picture of Dotty and Tait Cummins, in the camp's board room. It was a wonderful day when Marty Klostka revisited Camp Courageous, nearly 40 years after starting the Pineapple Campaign for Camp Courageous. This wonderful man was key to getting Camp Courageous jumped started during some of its earliest years. In 1978 Marty was City Manager of United Airlines in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. He arranged for Pineapples to be flown jet fresh from Hawaii to Chicago. A committee made of individuals like Phil Martin and Jack Steele were in charge of finding a charity. They met with Tait and Dotty Cummins. There was some apprehension since only about six pineapples were sold in all of Cedar Rapids the previous week. Now they were talking about bringing in thousands of jet fresh pineapples into Eastern Iowa. However, Marty remembers Tait smacking his cane on the table and saying we are going to do it. Harold Smith (John’s Dad) at CRST arranged for the pineapples to be picked up in Chicago by refrigerated trucks and brought to Cedar Rapids where they were sold at K-marts East and West and Smoulekofs downtown. It was a huge fund raiser, back during a time when Camp Courageous was still an unknown, unstable organization. In 1979 the Stouffers Five Seasons Hotel was built in downtown Cedar Rapids. Marty struck up a relationship with General Manager George Sells and began planing a Pineapple Ball. United flew in fresh pineapples and entertainment for the event. The performers would perform at camp for the campers and that evening would perform to about 800 people who would attend the Ball. Part of a special interview with Marty will be featured at this year's Pineapple Gala!

...will be the 2014 Pineapple Gala Emcee.

This event was first held at the Downtown Stouffers Five Seasons Hotel in 1979. Camp Courageous was its first big event. I still have pictures in my office of George Sells representing the Five, Marty Kloska representing United Airlines, and Harold Smith representing CRST, and Tait and Dotty Cummins representing camp. Those were great years where everything was flown in jet fresh from Hawaii, including the entertainment for the Gala. From 1979-2010 it was downtown. The gala peaked in about 1981 with 830 participants raising $32,000. Then came the silent/live auctions that turned the event from a dinner/entertainment to a major fund raiser. Once again Camp Courageous was among the first to do a dinner /auction. Then came the remodeling job and camp moved the gala to the Marriott from 20112013. Total donations continued to climb and the facilities and staff were super!

As soon as Nyla and Dean McCall and Jerry and Olimpia Gaspar saw the Coca-Cola Semi Trailer and Cab in Florida they thought of Camp Courageous and what a thrill it would be for the campers to have rides in this special rig. The ladies explained, “the guys were like a couple kids in a candy shop.” Isn’t it wonderful when you can find something like this, that you know will bring so much happiness and joy to so many… and then make it happen! The campers love it!!! Thank you to Craig Schmidt, President of STREETROD PRODUCTIONS in Montezuma for transporting it back to Iowa from Florida… and tweaking it by putting in a brake and making other needed modifications. What a wonderful gift from all. Pictured are (L-R) Board Members Mag Welter, Winnie Williams, and Jim Foels; join the Coca-Cola Semi donors, Nyla and Dean McCall (along with Jerry and Olimpia Gaspar-not pictured) and Craig Schmidt, President of STREETROD PRODUCTIONS in Montezuma. (Plus Santa is taking a nap inside the trailer).

Camp Courageous would like to thank Dixie Scherff for giving camp the opportunity to make a presentation to the Iowa Lions Region 2 Zone 2 meeting in Manly, Iowa. Lions members from Kensett, Osage, St. Ansgar, Northwood, Clear Lake, Manly, and other clubs were represented. Super group… lots of great questions.

Thank you to the Iowa Scottish Rite Masonic Foundation who presented a check to Denny Zahrt, representing camp. Pictured (L-R) are Russ Risley, Robert Francois, Dennis Zahrt, and Gary Sissel. We are grateful for their tremendous support.

Camp had another great group of students come from Marion High School as part of their community service event. This group got a lot of work done around camp as we prepared for the summer season. Thank you to Grace Ehlinger for lining everything up and thanks to the students and staff for all of their hard work.

Jacque Lahr and the students at Lambert Elementary in Manchester continue to collect pop tabs to be recycled. This year they collected a total of 85 pounds of tabs. That is 111,520 tabs!! Thank you to all who helped with the project! Thank you to Betty Artus of Dubuque who has been collecting pop tabs and card fronts for years, and had this huge load of items for camp and some things for the Manchester Garage Sale. Betty has been involved in camp for many years... nicest lady you could ever meet. Thank you to the Brain Injury Alliance of Iowa’s East Central Chapter for acknowledging Camp Courageous at their 2014 Appreciation and Recognition Celebration. Also, congratulations to Robert Harding (pictured) for receiving the Advocate of the Year Award and for giving an exceptional presentation on his Traumatic Brain Injury, as a result of a bike accident. Bob holds a Bell Bike Helmet, that saved his life in his July 2003 accident. Bob is a very impressive individual and a great role model for other individuals with T.B.I. Camp Courageous was fortunate to help start the Iowa Brain Injury Association in the early 80s. A week is set aside every year for campers with T.B.I. A wonderful group!

The Delmar Lions recently marked their 25th straight year of volunteering at camp. They have helped with tree trimming, clearing brush, cutting down dead trees, and so much more… a dedicated group!

Giving to Camp Courageous is now easier than ever! Camp has teamed up with Stuff Etc. to help you recycle your gently used, unwanted clothing and household items and help raise money for camp! Gather your items and drop them off at the Cedar Rapids, Iowa City, or Coralville locations. Tell them you want it to go on the Camp Courageous account. Be sure to get a tax receipt. That’s it! You get rid of your unwanted items and camp benefits!

One Gift Program State of Iowa Employees… Please consider designating Camp Courageous as your agency of choice #1107

The National Honor Society group from North Linn Middle School returned again this year to help out around camp. The group worked really hard helping set up for Cruisin’ for Camp Courageous, planting trees, and clearing brush and wood. Thank you to group sponsor Melissa Wheatley for bringing such an ambitious group.

Thank you to Earl and Katie Kilbug of Preston, IA for their donation of tabs and other needed items. They have married for 63 years!

How can I help? Pool Block at Pool

The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one block at a time. It is one of the more popular activities for the campers. You can help support this activity by buying a pool block for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of your choice, will be put on the block as a lasting reminder of your gift to the camp. Use the donation form on the back page of this newsletter to purchase your pool block. For more information you can contact Charlie Becker at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send e-mail to: [email protected]

Grynneth Parizek, 86 (front and center)… best known as “Mrs. P from Lone Tree” has passed away. She was surrounded by her family…just as in this picture from a few years ago, as we celebrated her birthday. Mrs. P. touched the lives of thousands. From being a cook and crossing guard at the Lone Tree School for 27 years, to taking a genuine interest in Girl Scouts for over 30 years, and providing hundreds of girls a great role model. Mrs. P. started collecting sayings at the age of 8! She started putting signs with those sayings up at the school stop signs nearly 40 years ago. People looked forward to these, which changed daily. She would go through about 700 sayings a year. Mrs. P published a book called “From My Little Corner of the World” that was filled with sayings. She also volunteered to write a weekly column with the same name in her local newspaper. Couple of cute ones include “Pretending to be rich, keeps many people poor,” and, “Everybody wants to eat at the government’s table, but nobody wants to do the dishes.” Mrs. P. helped start the School Reading Program. “Anyone can read to a child,” but Mrs. P was at the start of a program where students read to volunteers. For many of the K-4 students this was the highlight of their day. Mrs. P. did this for over 20 years. I met Mrs. P through Leo Greco. Mrs. P. was a regular on his WMT radio show. Mrs. P. was a Camp Courageous volunteer for 25+ years. She started out bringing Girl Scouts to camp with items from the camp’s needs list. Since those beginnings, she lead many annual trips to Branson that benefited the camp. She made hundreds of hand crocheted dishrags for the camp, but also hundreds for the folks that went on the Branson trip. More often than not, her two-car garage was full of things for the camp. So much that she often could not park her car inside the garage. She also sold thousands of fruitcakes and pineapples to benefit camp. Mrs. P was a recipient of KCRG’s 9-Who-Care Award. Mrs. P. will be dearly missed. Every time I hear the song, “In The Mood,” I will be thinking of Mrs. P, and how she loved to request that song… which put everyone in the mood.

Mary Fuller, 92, of Manchester passed away. Mary was a wonderful lady and a great help to the Camp Courageous Manchester Garage Sale. She would often enlist Josh, her husband, to help her with a project that benefited the camp. super sweet couple… we will miss both Mary and Josh who touched so many lives. Harry Prull was involved with Camp Courageous, since its beginning. Living “just down the road” from camp, he and camp’s first director, Gary Turbes, had a bond, that lasted a life time. Any time I would see Harry, he would ask how Gary was doing. During those early years, Gary often called on Harry to help him do just about anything and Harry was always there to help… as was Harry’s entire family. That desire and compassion to help others, never ended, as Harry would take thousands of campers with special needs on hay rides and do other activities with them over the years. A friend to all…the world won’t seem quite the same without Harry’s smiling face and the word “Tiger”! Lois Holm, 91, of Greeley, CO passed away March 22, 2014 thus ending a long era of volunteer professional assistance to Camp Courageous. Lois, and her husband, Lewis Holm played a very key role in my early years at Camp Courageous. Lew was a development director for Wartburg Theological Seminary in Dubuque for years. In 1980 they provided me countless hours of guidance in that field and dozens and dozens of very expensive reference books that were great resources. Lois was always there to provide her time, talents, and guidance in writing and communicating. Our heart goes out to their children, Dan, Val,Tim, Peter, and Michael, brothers Don and Kermit and Lois’ family and friends. She leaves a deep void, but a beautiful legacy. Lois and Lew both desired their memorials to go to Camp Courageous. – cwb

Camp’s sympathy goes out to the family of Charles H. Smith. He had roots in Iowa, but lived many of his years in Florida. Charles was very good about sending Camp Courageous great Florida fruit, especially over the winter months. His son, Larry Crismond, writes, “Dad was a great believer in your mission and the success of your programs.” Charles was also a great Lion for some 40 years, usually in leadership positions. He served as President of the Florida Lions Eye Bank and the Conklin Center for the Multi-Handicapped Blind. Charles was kind to camp throughout his life, and even after his death, through a trust. Camp was saddened to hear of the passing of Priscilla Wright of Iowa City. This absolutely wonderful lady, was just at the camp’s Omelet Breakfast and Open House, a few weeks ago, where we had a good visit. Priscilla was the dear friend of Ted Rittenmeyer of Iowa City. Together, after the death of Eldon Stutsman, they made regular trips to Camp Courageous with donations of plasticware from the Old Capital Kiwanis along with numerous other needed items. Priscilla often made beautiful quilts to adore the camper’s beds. Priscilla was a jewel and she will be dearly missed by all her friends at Camp Courageous. Camp was saddened to learn that Roberta Andrews recently passed away. Berta’s time at Camp Courageous (late 70s and early 80s) touched many lives. She was a character, who brought a smile to everyone’s face. Berta was much loved and camp was fortunate to be like a second family to her. Many campers and staff referred to her as Mom or Grandma. She leaves a wonderful legacy here in the hearts and minds of thousands. Camp’s sympathy goes out to the family and friends of Steve Ehrisman. Steve provided Camp Courageous dozens of loads of wood chips for the paths and was always there to help camp cut some challenging trees over the years. Tens of thousands of campers with special needs have and will continue to walk or wheel over the wood chips Steve so generously supplied the camp.

Thank you to Dennis Engel for giving Camp Courageous the opportunity to give a program to the Cedar Rapids Noon Lions. Their current President is Al Huneke, husband of former board member Mary Huneke, who put together the camp’s slide program back in the early 80s. Even though the technology has changed the message is the same as Mary developed so many years ago.

Took this picture in the summer of 1980 at K-Mart East in Cedar Rapids. Tait Cummins, with his Amana VIP hat, sits under a shade tree during Pineapple Sales with Al and Mary Hueke’s two boys…both in their mid to late 30s now.

Dear Mary (Johnson, Cedar Valley Street Rod member/Cruisin’ Committee), I had to take a minute to tell you how impressed we were once again this year. RECORD attendance of show cars! EXCELLENT VOLUNTEER STAFF! Absolutely BEAUTIFUL grounds! OVERWHELMING business support for the silent auction, as well as the regular auction. I could not believe Todd's amazing voice doing a perfect end to a perfect day. It was well worth the money. I saw several people with tears in their eyes. The veteran with the convertible Trans AM was crying---I'm certain with appreciation. So many happy, loving people all in one place having a great time because of a few people like you. Listen to your inner voice, Mary. You want to do this because, in the end, after everyone goes home, it was worth it. You are so good at assisting the camp. You and Brad are icons to the camp. I watched Brad. He is also such a valuable part of the event. Janice watches you both. Her children will remember, as yours do, what amazing role models you are to others. You are so good at supporting this cause. Both of you got me involved. This year I spent more than any year yet. It was because of you two! The silly robot and trophy again brought more money! I will be there whenever possible, every year, because of you. I will support the camp---all because of your dedication. I think every year I will “challenge” Todd to again sing the Star Spangled Banner. I would gladly pay to see all those faces smile and cry and place their hand over their heart after a full day of fun and memories. You have no idea the positive effect you have had on my life and so many others. Never give up! Keith, Rita & Gunner Lacy

How can I help? Lake Todd Project A 30 acre land acquisition has allowed for the construction of a lake at Camp Courageous. By having a lake at the camp, time and resources will be saved by not having to transport campers and staff to another lake that is 20 minutes away. You can help defray the costs of constructing Lake Todd by contributing towards this project. A plaque will display the names or wording of choice for all $1,000 donors. Use the form on the back of this newsletter.

Naming Opportunities

Over 90% of the Camp Courageous staff live at the camp. This is a real advantage when assistance is needed at any hour of any day, particularly with emergency respite care. It is the camp’s goal to have naming rights to all the homes at camp, so instead of referring to a home as the “Travel Director’s Home” it will be called the “John Smith Home” (named after the donor). Each home’s naming right will be $100,000 and a beautiful engraved stone sign will be at the entrance to the home. The first home (pictured above), is now known as the “Bill and Jodie Beckwith Home.” This beautiful brick home along the camp road is currently the home for Craig and Sheri Lampe, camp’s long-term volunteers. At one time this was a school house... lots of history in a beautiful home. Contact Charlie Becker for more information on naming rights on one of the other staff homes… with your name or in memory or in honor of a loved one. For more information about the plaque you can contact Charlie at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send him an e-mail at charlie@ campcourageous.org.

You can also contribute to cover the ongoing operational costs and future expansion of the train. The name, or the wording of choice, will appear on a plaque in the depot for all $1,000 donors. Use the donation form on the back page of this newsletter. For more information about the plaque you can contact Charlie at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, or send him an e-mail at [email protected].

Camp enjoyed giving a program to to the Anamosa Middle School Raider Round Ups. These wonderful students have been collecting can tabs as a service project and wanted to know a little more about Camp Courageous. Many thanks to these kids and their staff for their generosity and for being such a great audience! Board President, Winnie Williams, presents to Phil Martin an appreciation award for his 15-years as a board member and 35+ years as a camp volunteer. Phil is retiring from the board, but he and Shirley plan to continue to be super camp volunteers. Phil & Shirley Martin will be acknowledged at this year’s Pineapple Gala, as they will be placed on the camp’s Honorary Board.

The Ascension Lutheran Church in Gooselake donated some more lovely quilts for the campers to enjoy on cool nights. These ladies have been sewing quilts for camp for over 20 years. That’s a lot of dedicated stitching! Many thanks to their organization and to Joan and Billy Buech for delivering them.

Thank you to the VFW and Auxiliary for their years of support of Camp Courageous. Picture are (L-R) Ward Ransford (Past Iowa Commander), Gary Marquardt (Current State of Iowa Commander), Olivia Merritt (Riceville Patriots Pen Winner), Beverly White (Current State Aux. President), and Rachel Bru (Past State President).

Sharon Koster (L) sec. treas. and Bobbi McGee (r) county pres. with the Benton County American Legion Auxiliary delivered a large donation of misc. art and crafts supplies and other much needed items from the camp’s needs list. These generous ladies have made many donations to camp in the past. Although she had heard a lot about camp, it was the first visit for Sharon. It had been many years since Bobbi had been to camp, so they both enjoyed a tour of the facility. Camp would like to sincerely thank Bobbi and Sharon and the Benton Co. American Legion Aux. for their generosity. Thank you to Jason Sauser and our friends at Alliant Energy Foundation for their donation toward the camp's new walk-in freezer and cooler. A huge addition to camp.

Thank you to Ronald and Corrine Halse for funding the new entrance to the camp. The former entrance did not meet state and county standards and was a challenge to maneuver through for a bus with canoes or a semi. Plus it's design had lead to several vehicle hits over the years. This beautiful stone entrance is a wonderful first impression of the camp. Ronald has passed, but Corrine stays very active with the camp.

Once again the Cedar County Farm Bureau ladies, with a friend from the Durant Royal Neighbors, spent a morning volunteering at camp. These ladies have been making an annual trip to camp for many years and have done various tasks, including working on mailings, cleaning, and folding t-shirts. This year the group peeled several crates of apples along with working in nursing. In addition to working all morning, the group brought several items from the camp’s needs list. Many thanks ladies and we look forward to seeing you next year!

Would you be interested in sponsoring CAMPER T-SHIRTS?

Every camper goes home at the end of their time at Camp Courageous with a T-shirt. These shirts are ordered throughout the year making it easy for sponsors to be added at anytime. A gift of $1,000 provides a space on the back of the T-shirt for your logo or name for a year. With over 6,500 campers served each year, what better way to show your support? Contact Amatullah Richard by email at [email protected] or call 319-465-5916 ext. 2140.

Long time supporters, John and Cindy Arbogast of Ankeny, IA stopped by on their way to Dubuque. They talked about being amazed how far the camp has come over the years. John and I go back to elementary school...so it is humbling to have the Arbogasts be such good and caring and supportive friends. cwb

Camp Courageous would like to thank Gabor Orgovany (who has a daughter who loves coming to camp) for inviting camp to give a program to the Fairfield Kiwanis Club. They have been active with the camp since 1981 and are a wonderful group of supporters.

A huge thank you to Al and Sherry Kloft from Dubuque who have been working for several years finding needed items for the camp from the donation of an antique signal light for the train to a train lantern to food to Pineapple Gala Auction items...the list doesn't stop! We can not thank them enough for all they do!

JULY 2014 • @campcourageous • http://www.campcourageous.org

Thank you to Ron Stalberg for giving Camp Courageous the opportunity to present to the Waverly Kiwanis. They meet on the beautiful Wartburg College Campus. I appreciate Ron providing a tour of the facilities after the program. Ron Stalberg, has roots in Monticello, and has watched the camp grow over the years. We had visited at the funeral of Max Dirks. Ron was also related to camp’s neighbor, (down the road) Roy Null, who recently passed away. Terry Heinrich was invited to the meeting. Terry also has relation in Monticello (Norm & Harvey & their families)… and Terry's Dad, Lee, sold fruitcakes for the camp, up to his passing. Thank you to Deb Roth from Wayland, IA who was instrumental on having the National Association of Insurance and Financial Advisors (NAIFA) take on Camp Courageous at their State Convention. They did a silent auction at the Convention that benefited the camp.

It was a great day, when the Lovely Lane United Methodist Church visited Camp. Thank you to Sharon & Don Kouba and Phil and Shirely Martin for making it possible. Just a great group, who were very interested in camp!

How can I help?

(L-R) Past Board President Winnie Williams is presented camp's Past President Award for her outstanding two-years as President, by incoming President Margo Ahrendsen. Two very exceptional individuals!

Camp Courageous was very proud of board member (center) Mary Van Houten who received the Kirkwood Community College Distinguished Alumni Award. We are so delighted for Mary! She has played such a key role at Camp since 1979, with the first annual Pineapple Gala, held at the Five Seasons Hotel in downtown Cedar Rapids. Mary is a very hard working person…and she enlists her family and friends to help. Mary is currently Catering Sales Manager at The Hotel at Kirkwood Center. Mary is surrounded by some of her camp family, (L-R) Mag Welter, Mary Klinger, Jim Klinger, Mary, Charlie Becker, Steve Supple, Winnie Williams, and Larry Greco.

Thank you Dee Walters for inviting camp to the Davenport Shrine Ladies meeting to give a program on Camp Courageous. Many of them have been very involved with camp over the years.

Dr. Jeannie Collins, DDS with Noelridge Dental has, once again, chosen Camp Courageous to benefit from her “Smiles For Life” fund raiser. March through June, Dr. Collins will professionally whiten your teeth at a discounted fee and 100% of the proceeds will be split between Camp Courageous and providing free dental services for seriously ill and underprivileged children. Call today to schedule at appointment! 319393-6152. Noelridge Dental is located at 1201 42nd NE, Cedar Rapids IA 52402.

It is always a treat to see Helen Stanger (left) from Mercer Island, WA (with roots in Hopkinton). At 90+ she was back to see her students that were celebrating their 50th+ class reunion as well as former teachers, like Naomi Bender of Monticello.

Using Your eBay Auctions Do you sell on eBay? You can donate a percentage of your auctions to the camp through eBay’s Mission Fish program. 10% to 100% of your auction can go to Camp Courageous automatically. It’s a great way to promote your auctions since visitors will see (through a special icon) that part of their payment goes to a great charity. To participate, simply use the charity option as you list your items on eBay. For additional details and information you can visit eBay and click on the “Giving Works” link on their home page.

Volunteer Amatullah Richards (driving) gives a tour to these four ladies from the Federated Women's Club. Thank you to Grace Burkle for lining this up!

Marginal Note: You don’t drown by falling in the water. You drown by staying there.

Thank you to the Davenport Masonic Temple organizations for once again donating a vehicle and trailer load of items for the camp. The loaders and unloaders (L-R) Russ Risley, Janet & Denny Zahrt, and Rob Myers. Super group!

Camp saddened by loss of volunteer Don Simpson Don and Marilou Simpson have been two of the most exceptional volunteers in the camp’s history. They have been involved with Camp Courageous for nearly 20 years and dedicated over two years of their lives to living at camp and volunteering morning, noon, and night. They first heard of the camp from being loyal listeners to Leo Greco on WMT. We first met at a camp benefit that JoAnna Lund from Healthy Exchanges was having in De Witt, IA. Don and Marilou talked to us about their interest in volunteering at camp, but at that time never did we dream they would have such a huge impact on and touch so many lives. One can’t help talk about Marilou when we talk about Don because they were a team. In over 60 years of marriage they held true to their wedding vows promising each other to be loving and faithful in plenty and in want, in joy and in sorrow, in sickness and in health, as long as they both shall live… and they did.. Don’s greatest interest and love was doing things for others, especially those less fortunate. Don was a retired farmer that could fix anything… from a camper’s broken wheel chair to making an activity more accessible for a camper with unique needs. Don and Marilou’s volunteerism was so exceptional they were recognized as one of the “Nine Who Care” recipients. They went on to Washington DC to represent the region in the National Jefferson Awards for their outstanding volunteerism! After leaving camp, Don and Marilou’s help did not stop. They continued to collect pop can tabs, donations for the Manchester Garage Sale, baked and sold fruitcakes, attended camp breakfasts, and many special events. Don will be dearly missed by the thousands he touched at Camp Courageous and across the country. His legacy will live on because there is a piece of Don in each of us.

Pictured are Don and Marilou Simpson at a camp breakfast fund raiser. Years after their volunteering at the camp came to an end, they continued their support by selling fruitcakes, attending benefits, and telling everyone they could about Camp Courageous.

Camp had two very special visitors… Scott Wieser (who was a camper in the '80's ) and his friend David Black. Scott wished to return to camp to see how it has changed over the years and to also decide if he would like to return as a camper in the future. After a tour of the facilities and lunch in the lodge Scott was impressed and ready to return for a "vacation" at camp. It was a great pleasure to meet these two amazing young men and look forward to seeing them again when Scott attends camp.

This year, the Camp’s Dietary Department created a bigger garden to supply the kitchen with a wider variety of fresh produce grown right here at Camp Courageous. The approximate size of the garden is 30 feet by 60 feet and has dozens of different types of plants including vegetables, fruit, and herbs. We are already seeing great progress! This project was made possible by many donations (see below). Earl May North of Cedar Rapids donated various herbs, melon & strawberry plants. Pictured is Earl May staff member Nadia Slindee. Also, Earl May Cedar Falls donated 10 tomato cages, Earl May South of Cedar Rapids donated 30 various seed packets. Kwik Trip stores in Cedar Rapids on Mt. Vernon Rd collected $152 in donations towards the garden project.

It was nice to have Kathy Donnelly, Senior Vice President and Chip Murray, President of First Community Trust deliver to camp the proceeds from the Estate of Florence Atkinson. Florence was a long time supporter of the camp, whose sister lives in Monticello.

This was the first time the great group from Harvard UCC in Harvard, NE came to camp. A few members of the group worked as volunteer counselors and the majority of the group helped out the maintenance department. They were a hard working fun group and we hope to see them again! Special thanks to Dave Johnson for all of his work in setting up the trip.

Monticello High School FFA Chapter, headed up by Eric Schmitt, started many plants from seeds obtained from The Seed Savers Exchange. FFA students that helped with plants are (L-R) Parker Kray, Anna James, Stephanie Manternach, and Quinton Fellinger.

(L-R) Dean McCall helped Steve Neal donate and deliver this nice power chair to camp. Dean is very active with the camp, as was his mother, Anna McCall. Steve is with Neal's Water Conditioning in Mt. Vernon.

Thanks to Lindsey Nelson and Kimberly Papa, pictured here with camper Chris Slater, for spending a couple of weeks with us this summer. They are students from UNC-Wilmington and came to Camp Courageous to do some practicum hours for their therapeutic recreation studies.

How can I help? Volunteer Your Time - Nothing

is more valuable and appreciated than your time. Help is needed from cutting grass to working with campers. Individuals, groups, and organizations are welcome. Please contact Shannon Poe, Volunteer Director, by e-mail at [email protected] or by phone at (319) 465-5916, ext. 2320 for information on how you or your group can volunteer at the camp

Thanks again to Mary Jo Friedman, nursing instructor at NICC in Peosta, for bringing an awesome group of students to help out as respite care counselors. Group members included: Angie Curtis, Emily REiter, Jason Hoppenjan, Stacy Raatz, Chrissy Bush, Beth Hoisington, Ashley Smith, Jessy Kapparos, Tara Redfearn and Korey Harmon.

Beverly Claypool always lines up a hard working group to spend a weekend at camp doing anything we ask them to do. This year the group laid railroad ties and rails for the camp train, moved firewood and trimmed trails. A huge thanks to Dylan Galvin, Debra Chaney, Bev, Brenda Peterson, Debra Lawson, Brooke Chaney and Cathy Galvin.

Congratulations to Clarence Emanuel on his recent award from Options of Linn County. With Clarence, is his Mother, Betty, two long time friends and supporters of camp.

Big thanks to these nursing students from University of Dubuque for helping out with a respite care weekend. They were a great group and the campers really had a blast with them. The group includes Lindsey Jackson, Jennifer Martinez, Nicole Fein, Sara Fruendt, Natalie Boysen, Shawn Clark, Amber Keller, Katie Ramler, Rose Bormann, and Emerald Frommelt.

Wayne Nappe, husband of Jeanne Muellerleile, director of camp’s program, works away with camp’s tree stump remover. The stump remover was a donation given to camp by Bill Beckwith after he spent a day clearing tree stumps. Wayne has been a great camp volunteer for the past 32 years. Doing everything from helping with maintenance to helping with program to being a great friend to many campers. Tree stumps have always been a safety concern at camp, and Wayne has removed 100’s, making the camp a safer place for all.

Marginal Note: It’s better to know and be disappointed than to never know and always wonder.

As many as 25,000 Couriers are printed each quarter (January, April, July and October) and are sent to all of camp’s supporters. The cost to produce and mail each issue is over $10,000, not including postage. By choosing an option below, you’ll help meet the goal of underwriting the entire cost of the Courier.

(L-R) Counselor Taylor Trelka of Sturgeon Bay, WI is pictured getting camper Theresa Riordan of Sigourney, IA ready for a ropes climbing activity. It was great having Theresa here at the beginning of the summer season. She first started coming to Camp Courageous in 2001… can’t wait to have her back again!

Our dear friends Mary Ann Dempsey and Bill Callahan had a garage sale for Camp in FL where they live. They raised $500 in a day! Camp Courageous was founded in 1972 and the first campers came in 1974. Mary Ann and Bill gave camp the Ford Expedition they called Fred. In March of 2007. It still runs like a top and used almost every day. Bill and Mary Ann are a couple of the most wonderful people one could ever meet.

Camp Courageous continues to operate on donations, without government assistance, without formal sponsorship, and without paid fund raisers. What this means is that everything that is given to the Camp goes directly to benefit the campers. One of the reasons the Camp has grown from serving 211 campers in 1974 to over 6,500 campers today, is the incredible dedication of volunteers. Volunteer help is needed in every aspect of the camp. Please consider volunteering your time and talents to Camp Courageous.

(L-R) “Nearly Elvis” was spotted once again at Camp Courageous. Campers, like Cindy Moore of Coralville, IA, had a wonderful evening being entertained with his singing and dance moves.
