Camp Casey Has A Wish List? I Didn't Know That

[orleans]

i just found this:

"August 2nd, 2006

Cindy is moving to Crawford and giving a home to Camp Casey & she needs your support! Below is a list of needed donations and support.

Trailer or RV Camper

Tents & Canopies

Kitchen Supplies

Bottled Water

Ice Machine

Home Depot Gift Cards "

i'm trying to decide what to send. i don't have a trailer or camper or an ice machine. it would probably cost more money to send bottle water than it would be to buy the water. so i'm down to either a home depot gift card or a check. hummmm... i'm just wondering what everybody else is sending (you hate to bring potato salad when everyone is bringing potato salad)
