Exciting News for
Candlelighters Teens!
Family Camp 2009 seems like a long time from now, but
planning is already in the works. One of the most exciting changes is
the formation of the
Candlelighters Teen Activities
Council. CTAC met
recently to talk over new ideas to improve camp experience for teens and
expand teen activities throughout the year. We offer a huge thanks
to high school leader Rob Jensen, for spearheading and directing
this new and improved teen group! In this new council, Spencer Bell
will act as president, Justin Lambert as secretary, and
Andrew Sumpter
as treasurer.
Rounding out the board are Members at Large
Brian Holt, Kristina Lisac and
Ben Barr. We look
forward to seeing some fantastic results from this young group!
So…Candlelighters teenagers—be ready for some exciting things with teen
activities and camp plans in 2009!
Spread the Word about
Candlelighters Annual Toy Drive!
Encourage your friends and neighbors to visit any of the
following locations from Thanksgiving through January, to drop off a toy
for a Candlelighters child or teenager. Throughout the year,
Candlelighters offer toys and gifts to our children and teens impacted
by childhood cancer, as well as their siblings—providing smiles and
laughter. These are given out at Doernbecher and Emanuel Children’s
Hospitals, Candlelighters family events and Candlelighters summer family
camp. Our sincere thanks to the generous sponsors, hosts and friends
participating in the 2008 Candlelighters Toy Drive!
