Blue Lake Fine Arts Camp - One Returnable at a Time - Update

The cans and bottles are coming in! And each one gets me closer to Blue Lake in late June. I really appreciate everyone who has called or dropped by our home and left returnables for me.

In the first trip to Meijer, the total was $61.90 followed by the second trip for $11.30 and a third with $5.70 for a returnable total of $78.90. And some very generous people have given cash donations totalling $60.00.

I've got a couple of people that are collecting from their civic organizations from Ferndale to Madison Heights to Berkley. The help and support is overwhelming and I can't thank everyone enough for the help.

My mom scours the roads to and from work and seems to find at least a couple of cans each day for me to add to the collection. My dad and sister have been faithful in helping me get them all turned in.

The first day of camp is June 27 so there's not much time left. If you have a donation, please call me at (248) 435-4178. Each and every returnable helps get me to camp and I appreciate each and every one.

You can read about this adventure in my first Patch blog post.

Thank you again!
