Thanks for
making the 2010 under the stars
dinner & auction a success!
A hundred years from now it will
not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind
of car I
drove… but the world may be different because you were important in the live of
a CHILD.
February 27, 2010 - what a
wonderful evening for Happy Hollow Children’s Camp. This evening
marked our 19th annual dinner auction to help raise money to send
economical disadvantaged children from the United Way of Central Indiana area to summer camp. The event
brought in more friends of Happy Hollow then ever and with all these friends
being generous with their pocket books more children then ever will get the
chance to attend a week of summer camp. A great thanks goes out to our
auction chairpersons Captain Greg Harris and Steven Schuld and their committee
for the wonderful job and presentation of this year’s event. Without them
and their dedication the auction would not have been as successful – three
cheers for them.
Happy Hollow Children’s Camp was pleased to name Michelle
Beecher Lanosga, a long-time Happy Hollow supporter, the 2010 Hugh Frey
Pathfinder Award. Through her work on the Happy Hollow Board and as a
current board vice president, Mrs. Beecher Lanosga has made tremendous
contributions not only financial, but also of her time and talents. She
has also been very involved with our auction over the years and has been our
auction chair. We are delighted to present this award to Michelle Beecher
Lanosga for all of her great support of our camp and our campers over many
years.
Congratulations to Michelle on this award recognizing her long commitment to
camp!
