FROM A DONOR’S HEART
“With a joyous heart I give this check… Camp Lebanon is a very special place to me. As a young girl, I loved going to Girl Scout Camp. I would count the months and then the weeks and then the days. I now count the months and weeks and days until I come to Camp for quilt retreat. I become that happy girl who was overwhelmed with joy when dropped off… I give so that many children can experience that same joy and be reached for the Lord.”
