We want to let you know the success of our 2002 fund raising efforts, our Melwood Dinner and Auction and annual Golf Outing. You helped make it possible to raise nearly $57,000 targeted especially for Kamp A*Kom Plish, Melwood’s Summer Camp for kids in Nanjemoy, Maryland. We want to thank you for sponsoring two tee signs at our golf outing. Your generous contribution is greatly appreciated and we hope you will put us on your calendar for next year. In 2003, our fundraiser to benefit Kamp A*Kom Plish will be sponsored again by Greater Waldorf Jaycees. Our Melwood Dinner and Auction will be held on Saturday, April 26, at the Jaycee Community Center, in Waldorf. Our 23rd Annual Golf Outing is scheduled for Friday, June 6, at the White Plains Golf Course, in White Plains. Between now and then , if you have an intrest in joining our planning committee, have something you’d like to donate to either event, or know a friend or colleague to add to our invitation mailing list, please call Linda Neiser, 301 599-4542. Once again, on behalf of Melwood and the people we serve, thank you very much for giving so generously. We appreciate your support and want you to know that we certainly could not have done it without you.
