I volunteered this past summer as a camp counselor at the Circle of Tapawingo. The program is a free one-week overnight camp for bereaved girls between the ages of eight and 16. The campers arrive sharing the common bond of loss and they leave with feelings similar to these expressed by a camper in a thank-you note to her counselors:
"My father died four years ago. He always used to give me presents and I miss that. I wish I could tell him that the best present I've received since he died was my week at Circle of Tapawingo."

I knit sweaters and mail them to a charity group that sends them out needy children around the world and within the states for children who are cold --- I average approximately 36 sweaters a year.
When my picture was taken I was unaware of the purpose -- I am pleased to now be part of this endeavor.
