Boy needs joy summer camp gives

Wednesday, June 13, 2001 | 8:26 a.m.

Foster parents of a 7-year-old boy say he has been through many hardships in his life and has lived in many different homes during the past five years.

He would benefit greatly from a camping experience, his foster parents say, because he could spend time around other children and be involved in a variety of activities.

Sometimes simple things, such as toasting marshmallows and singing around the campfire and being around camp counselors who are positive role models, are the memories a child carries with her through life. By joining other contributors to the Sun Camp Fund, you can make a difference in a child's life.

Some recent contribuors:

Joe Donohue; David Wolf; Lawrence and Sonnia Lewandowski; John and Elizabeth Pollet; Stanley and Annette Kirson; North Las Vegas Memorial Auxiliary of Veterans of Foreign Wars Post 10047; Russell and Marilyn Fults; Janet M. Wilm; and the Pat Foundation.
