Camp Wiley "Thank You Letter"
Dear Mr. Joseph Daniszewski,
My son Joseph and I would like to thank you and everyone involved with the Campership Program. Thank you for giving my son Joseph the chance to go to summer camp at Camp Wiley. Joseph was extremely thrilled that he was going to camp.
While attending Camp Wiley Joseph was able to achieve many Cub Scout activity Goals. Joseph also got to spend quality time with fellow Cub Scouts from other Packs.
The activities at Camp Wiley were well organized and taught Joseph many lessons on wild life along with lessons on many different catergories of safety.
The memories a child gets from going to summer camp are unforgetable. Joseph would not have had the chance to attend Camp Wiley without the Campership Program.
Thank you, Sincerly
Joseph and Heather D.

The Miracle Prayer
I open my heart wide to receive the love of God. As I receive God's love as universal supply, all my affairs are healed.
I realize and accept the healing power of the Universe as love, and I allow the healing power that is love to penetrate my life.
I readily accept the healing power of love, God is my limitless and abundant supply made manifest.
I feel the outpouring of God's love in my body and mind.
I feel God's love in my affairs, and I know all is well.
Amen
