To the Journal editor:

Camp New Day UP had another great week of camp this year. The board members all agree that it was the best camp ever and this year’s counselors were a big part of that. There are so many people and organizations that have monetarily contributed to our success and we’d like to thank them all.

The following local businesses donated food or other supplies for the week of camp.

Jilberts Dairy

Although every donation contributes to our success, we would especially like to thank the following groups. They each contributed $1,000 or more to CNDUP this year:

Ray and Peg Hirvonen Charitable Foundation

The Phyllis and Max Reynolds Foundation

The Foreign and Domestic Missionary Society of the Episcopal Church

Marquette County Community Foundation

M & M Area Community Foundation

The board members of Camp New Day UP gratefully thank all of the above for their contributions to our summer camp program.

Parents tell us every year that if it weren’t for CNDUP, their children would not be able to go to a summer camp. Without your help there would be no CNDUP.

Sincerely,

Camp New Day UP board members Ann Smith, Mary Sullivan, Carol Romback, Gene and Carl Champagne, Janet Joswiak, Josh Swedlund, and Janet Dellaria
