Fireworks "From Steve"

Greetings…..fellow Camp Griffen members. It is that time of year again where we load up on fireworks in preparation for the big 4th of July show. This year I’ve got a couple good contacts for fireworks. I’m actually meeting one of the guys tonight to see what he can get for us. Normally I wouldn’t push anyone for help with the cost but this year I need it. Our budget is $1,500 - $2,000. If you are interested in making a donation LARGE or small please let me know, operators are standing by. Also…you should know we are offering a special package for our first $500 donor. We are calling it the “Big Bad-Ass Package”. This lucky winner will get VIP seating for the show, drink service during the show, will get to light the first firework kicking off the show (or choose someone) and will also be able to start the finale. In addition, on fireworks day everyone will need to refer to him or her as the “Big Bad-Ass” or the “Guy with the Big Bad Ass Package”…whichever feels more right.

Please don’t feel pressured to mail a check to: 11736 Coral Springs Drive, Fort Wayne, IN 46845 as soon as possible J unless of course your name has a “Dr.” in front of it which stands for “Damn Right you’re going donate”. If by chance you are donating a nice bass boat to the cause you are exempt from making a donation. Naturally we won’t turn you away if you decide you still want to help. There is absolutely no pressure to help…I’m sure the 50% cut in my salary beginning June 1st will work itself out. Please do not worry about me. For those unable to donate this year, please complete the “Blindfold” ordering form listed below. We wouldn’t want you to hurt your cheap ass eyes during the show.

BLINDFOLD ORDERING FORM
____ No. of adult blindfolds (Cost: $50/adult)
____ No. of child size blindfolds (Cost: $25/child)

Have a great day & thank you for your support at Camp Griffen!

Another New Addition to Camp Griffen




Here is another new addition to Camp Griffen! Granted the Chiefland children will not be able to ride it until they are at least 10, however the girls seem to enjoy it as I am sure the other kids will too.
