Thank you

Dear Campers,
     
I know that many of you saw the thank you post and picture of all the food from yesterday on Facebook.  If you have not, check it out, because you were a part of a great moment.  I was overwhelmed by your generous gift and you willingness to choose to change the lines.  Your workout yesterday not only changed the lines of your own health and fitness, but also changed the health of those that will be receiving the food.  You provided over 500 pounds of food..................amazing!   

I had a great meeting yesterday with Stacy Bishop (the counselor) and Jimmy Dawson (the Principal) at Acton Middle School.  We are working out the kinks and are going to jump to our "Feed Between the Lines" program.   They were overwhelmed with our idea and generosity.  The RBC program will initially be designed to get healthy food to the kids that don't have anything to eat prior to their participation in an athletic event.  Many parent bring food to their kids, but I have been told by the coaches that at least 50% of the kids do not have any pre-game fuel.  You are making great things happen for kids and I am so proud of you.  Thank you, thank you, thank you!  We will be working with both Acton Middle School and Granbury Middle School!
     
We have one more week to go in this camp.  Renew you commitment to healthy eating and make good choices over the weekend.  

Thank you and see you dark and early Monday,
Amy
