This is a fundraiser, but Camp Fire realizes there are many ways to make a contribution such as a donation of time, a collaboration commitment, sharing a good idea, and for some it's writing a check. Every contribution is valuable. Most important of all, we want you to come and find out about the great programs Camp Fire offers Alaskan children.

Please join me at my table - Can you come?

Warm regards,
