Thanks for a successful Snowflake Dinner, Dance and Auction!

The Camp Cherith Board of Directors would like to personally thank all the people who attended our First Annual Snowflake Gala! Held at the lovely Pineview Golf Course it was an evening that will not soon be forgotten! Beautiful decorations, great music, a delicious roast beef dinner, prizes, and some great auction items were all highlights of the evening. Together we raised over $6,000 – all proceeds from the event will go toward Camp Cherith construction projects, particularly the construction of our future dining hall!

Thank you to all those who attended and for those who donated items for the auction. We truly appreciate your support for our camp. See you all again next year!

Stay tuned for new information about our next fundraising event, the 3rd annual “1 Under the Son” Volleyball Tournament at Petrie Island, on Saturday August 14, 2010!
