AGENDA

2011 In Review

Well, our business meetings were few and far between this past year; we conducted only 2 business meetings.  However, with technology and email we were able to do a lot of things and all in all had a very successful year.

Donations

Rocky Mountain Camp 999 made a total of $3,500 in donations last year!  We supported the following organizations with these donations:

1. $1,000 towards National Military Family Association’s Operation Purple
2. $1,000 to Denver Metro Boys & Girls Club for Gates Camp
3. $500 to the Salvation Army – in support of Woodmen/Assured Life’s involvement in the American Fraternal Alliance annual meeting in Denver and the volunteer event in conjunction with that meeting.
4. $500 to NAG – the Thanksgiving Day feast brought to us annually by Joe Eberle.
5. $500 to the Child Rescue Foundation – for its Santa’s Corner.

Community Service

Although meetings were scarce, we managed some community service projects this year as well.

Join Hands Day found us partnering with Brownie Troop 1581 once again.  We had a Food Drive through Copper Mesa School in Highlands Ranch.  The grand total volunteer hours for this project was 25 hours with a total of 3 members and 16 non-members involved.  77 lbs of food was collected through the project and delivered to the Food Bank of the Rockies. 

In the summer, we once again participated in the Pencil Project for the Child Rescue Foundation.  We collected 9 backpacks filled with school supplies as well as additional supplies like pencils, crayons, crayon markers, colored pencils, boxes of Kleenex, sharpies, etc.   This included the backpacks filled with supplies purchased by Rocky Mountain Camp 999 as well as the $50 the donation received from Tanya Unrein.  Camp 999 and Tanya spent $255 on backpacks and school supplies in support of this project.  

In support of the Society’s Operation Santa’s Elves, Rocky Mountain Camp 999 made a donation to The Child Rescue Foundation’s Santa’s Corner in the amount of $500 . 

Santa’s Corner provides Christmas gifts to children of domestic violence.  Our donation of $500 touched the lives of 20 kids.

Hope to see you at the meeting.  If not, please have a blessed Christmas and prosperous New Year!
