CALLING ALL ALUMNI of CAMPS OZANAM and STAPLETON
The summer of 2016 will be the 93rd summer of FREE camping for St. Vincent
de Paul. You were somehow involved in it. Most of you were staff at either camp, some were campers, and the real lucky ones were both. 

Whatever your involvement, I am sure you have fond memories. Over the years, things have changed. The only thing that has not changed is the need for kids to have fun. Fundraising is more critical now than ever. Our major event is the Golf Outing which is held on June 20th. 

We need golfers. 

We need folks to purchase sponsorships and ads to support the outing, for those of you in business, who would like to help and get a tax write off.

One of the available sponsorships is $5,000 to sponsor the closing banquet.

Here is where you can help:
I need help in identifying lots of alums, campers and staff; women and men. I need names and contact information. 
Once we have our list, I need 50 people to send in a donation of $100.00
or,
I need 100 people to send in a donation of $50.00
or,
I need... you get the picture

All donations are tax deductible. Wouldn't it be great to have our Alumni to support this event in a major way?
AND THE CAMPERS ARE THE WINNERS!
Please make your checks out to St. Vincent de Paul. Put "golf outing" in the memo slot. 

Mail the check to me at:
Attn: Chuck Piotrowski
20035 Dovetail Drive
Brownstown, MI 48138

Incidentally our alumni day at Camp is Saturday July 16th. We have lunch, time to reconnect, and then Mass.
During the lunch, the IHM Sisters (Srs. Marie, Judy, Tiz, and Margaret) will be recognized for their years of service.
Please consider joining us!

I hope to get names, addresses, and funds soon!

Thank you,

SVdP 25th Anniversary Golf Classic!
Come participate in a rewarding event to help children in need! 

Founded in 1923 by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul - Detroit, Camp Ozanam was created to give boys living in various Catholic institutions in Detroit respite from their harsh city life.

Located on Lake Huron just north of Lexington, MI, the camp now serves boys and girls of all ethnicities and religions from economically challenged families throughout Southeast Michigan. Ozanam offers them the opportunity to participate in traditional summer camp activities and much more. The camp is free for campers and has served over 110,000 children since 1923.

Your participation in the St. Vincent de Paul - Detroit "Red" Martin & Msgr. Gerald Martin Golf Classic makes this possible. Thank you!

Sponsorship and opportunities to advertise your business or organization in the program guide are also available!
