CITA
(Christ Is The Answer)

As many of you are aware, every Christmas Season, our camp makes a monetary donation to this charitable organization in Melbourne. In addition, at both our November and December meetings we ask members to donate nonperishable food items for donation to this organization also. The Covid-19 pandemic has hit CITA really hard trying to serve those in need. At the most recent E-Board Meeting, cam leadership decided to go ahead and approved a $200 immediate donation to CITA alongwith asking camp members to try to bring in non-perishable food items for donation at
this time. CITA will be very appreciative of anything we can do to help them, and we can feel good about ourselves for helping our community and those less fortunate than us. Please bring non-perishable food items to the Aug 27 camp meeting for donation. Anything you can donate will be much appreciated.
