Camp Leo
for Children with
Diabetes
Diabetes celebrates its 21st year
of providing diabetes education
and overnight camping Our mission statement in part states:
_________________________________________________________ DIMES FOR DIABETES The number of campers increases every year and there is an ever-growing need for financial support. Our MD –19 Diabetes Chairperson Laura Wintersteen-Arleth sent out a letter to asking Lions Club Members to take part in our Lions Club campaign "DIMES FOR DIABETES." Each of our Zone Clubs should have received a box for the collection of dimes to go towards Camp Leo. Our goal is to support Camp Leo by writing a check in May to the Camp Leo Fund. I encourage you to share information on Diabetes in your Community. The effort will make a difference in someone's life. If you would like me to speak to your clubs about Diabetes and to present a DVD program on our Camp Leo and Diabetes, please email me. Bonnie Manning _________________________________________________________ Camp Leo’s camp site is at Buck Creek 2012 Camp Leo information: Junior campers (3rd, 4th and 5th grades) Senior campers (6th, 7th and 8th grades) Scholarships are available for campers unable to afford our camp fees. Camp Leo’s dedicated staff of doctors, nurses, dietitians, pharmacists, counselors and other volunteers speaks well for the continued growth and qualifications of the Camp Leo program. Lion Club members play an important roll in Camp Leo. Donations from Lions to our scholarship fund make it possible that “no child is turned away because they can not afford our camp fees.” Lions volunteer their time assisting with crafts, archery, fishing and other activities where needed. Lions volunteer in the dinning hall before and after meals. Cost to sponsor a camper: $550! Please send your club donations to:
