I tried not to have a mailing list to mail out updates. It is time consuming especially when I am maintaining a blog. It is almost like a double information so please do subscribe to this blog. I believe the link is at the bottom and you will get notification when this blog is updated. I am not sure if I got that right, please let me know if it is not working. I am worried that other parents would not know about this blog and with email system they would have not know the past history. So to be fair for everyone, I will keep all the information on this blog.
For those who have not gotten the email announcement from me, I have included in here.
"As some of you know, I have been working on establishing a camp for KODAs in Wisconsin. I met with Bert Pickell who is the director of the KODA Camp nationwide during the last week of December as well as with the camp people at the MacKenzie Center, going over fine details.
I am thrilled to let you know that YES, there will be a KODA camp in Wisconsin. The dates are July 20th to Aug 2nd, 2008. Price for each kid? Sigh, that is being still worked on. I am afraid that it might be $800. Never fear, I am trying to find donations to help kids to come to the camp. It will be a good idea for you to send in $200 to hold a spot for your kid and start sending letters requesting donations. A parent did that last year and was very successful. If she can do it, so can you! It is open to any KODA from anywhere, Wisconsin, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Iowa, Indiana, etc. The age group is 9 - 16.
Be sure to check www.wikoda.blogspot.com for update information. I try to update it monthly. I am trying to figure out how to add "RSS". This tool will let you sign up and get alerts everytime it is being updated instead of going there all the times and find that it is not updated.
My next step is to find someone to volunteer to work in kitchen. I need at least two volunteers a day to take care of meals all day. I am also looking for a chef, altho I am working with one person. He has not yet decided if he wants to do it or not. I am also looking for a nurse to be on site 24/7! If you know of a CODA who is RN, please let me know!
Fundraising plans are in the works. More details later.
Please, please pass this email on to other parents that are not on this list. I know there are alot out there!
Thank you and Happy New Year!"
