Charity Auction
Join the Traverse Bay Camping Club for their annual Charity Auction. Featuring lots of goodies and usually a handmade quilt or two, there's lots of fun for a really great cause.
September 4th (Saturday of Labor Day weekend). Held right in the campground (usually near sites 95/96) in the early evening.
Each year a charity is chosen either by the group or by the Staff of RCC.
The 2011 Donation will go to CAMP Live, Laugh, Love, a Children's Bereavement Network Camp, which provides a relaxed and safe setting for campers to explore their feelings & offer hope to children who have experienced the death of a parent or other loved one. Designed for kids ages 8-13, the camp is free for campers. The network is based out of Gaylord, MI and is supported solely by donations. Their website is www.camplivelaughlove.org.
Past Recipients:
2006 - Camp Quality, a camp for kids who have cancer, located in Petoskey.
2007 - Pathway of Hope, a home for teen girls located right here in Evart
2008 - LOVE INC, a group out of Cadillac, who coordinate the meeting of needs of people, who are hurting in various ways, with local churches who've set up a particular ministry.
2009 over $500 was raised and given to a local organization called "Warmed by God's Love" - a ministry that provides quilts and blankets to needy and/or neglected children.
2010 - $621.75 was given to Elijah's Place, a ministry in the tiny town of Tustin, designed to feed hungry people.
Can't come that weekend, but still want to help? Just let us know - the group is happy to accept donated items & we're happy to store them for you until the event.
