Hundreds enjoy Holiday Parties at Camp Courageous
This year’s Adult and Youth Holiday Parties held at Camp Courageous were enjoyed by hundreds of visitors. The lodge was decorated
with holiday trees, decorations, and lights. Many enjoyed various activities during their visit.
Parachute games, wall climbing, arts and crafts, and singing holiday songs were just some of the activities offered during the parties.
Everyone had a chance to meet Santa and Mrs. Clause and then received a gift. Wonderful volunteers made cookies and other great treats
that were shared throughout the events. Thank you to everyone who helped make this event such a success!!

JANUARY 2007 — Camp Courageous of Iowa — www.campcourageous.org
St. Columbkille School in Dubuque Adopts Camp For The Year
A huge thank you to the staff and students of St. Columbkille School in Dubuque for taking on Camp Courageous as
their 2006-07 school year project. They have been exceptional! This all started last year when the students donated
money from their school store to camp. Special thanks to Jennie Weber, School Counselor for heading up the project
and to Laura and Jim Mulgrew, along with Mulgrew Oil for being major sponsors of this partnership. Mulgrew Oil
purchased T-shirts that have a large triangle on them with “St. Columbkille” “Mulgrew Oil” “Camp Courageous” at
each of the points and “Making the Connection” under it. Students and staff are selling these to raise money for Camp
Courageous and to wear them when they visit camp for Earth Day/pool party.
Kindergarten and First Graders visited
camp.
Staff included (L-R) Tammy
Huntington, Cheryl Hemann. Julie Drake,
and Mary Lou Johnson.
A big thank you to St. Columbkille Second
Graders for their visit and for helping pickup the camp. Staff include (L-R) Michele
Colbert, Deb Ochs and Carrie Kirkpatrick.
Third Graders included teachers (L-R)
Marilyn Deeny, Rhonda Koppes, and
associate JoAnn Flynne.
(L-R adults) Karen Stoffel, Ann Callahan
and Associate Deena Rang escorted the
Fourth Graders. Here they are standing
on the stage in the woods where campers
received their awards.
Here is the Fifth Grade class’ visit to camp,
which included a DVD program, tour, time with
the campers and a work job (labeling envelopes
going to special education teachers).
Camp staff and campers visit with the
students and staff. Each student was
issued a plastic bag at the start and as they
tour, if they saw any litter they were to pick
it up.
St. Columbkille also held a dress
down for donations day and collected
a large amount of zip-loc bags,
balloons, white t-shirts, packing
tape, and postage stamps for Camp
Courageous.
Thank you to Murfee Cook, her
sister Kelsey, and her mom. Murfee
had an 8th birthday party and had all
the guests bring an arts and craft items
for Camp Courageous. Murfee is a
2nd grader at St. Columbkille.
Mulgrew Oil staff members judged
“Camp Courageous - A Special Place”
posters that ALL the St. Columbkille
students did after their tours of camp.
The judges picked the two most
MEANINGFUL from each grade and
rewarded those students with a gift
certificate and camp gift. The posters
are on display in the main lodge.
Thank you to teachers (L-R standing )
Cynthia Arenz , Jennie Weber, and Sara
Devaney for providing guidance to the
students.
Shredding
papers
was
one of the
many
jobs
students
helped with.
A huge thank you to Jennie Weber, School Counselor at St. Columbkille School in Dubuque
who has been key to putting this all together and making it such a huge success for all!
Here the whole school obtained 100s of gifts
for campers, wrapped them, and packed
them in a big vehicle headed to camp. It
made all of the campers very happy!

HyVee Stores & Liz Valliere
KMRY Radio
come through for Camp Again Station Auctions
Tickets for Camp
Kathy McCarthy, representing Hy-Vee,
presents checks from nearly 30 area HyVees who sold pineapples in August for
Camp Courageous. Accepting the checks
is camp super volunteer, Liz Valliere,
who coordinates all the volunteers.
Two wonderful volunteers for Camp
Courageous. We are grateful to all the HyVee General Managers, Produce Managers
and others who make this event such a
success.
A big thank you to Dick and Liz (Hennessey)
Valliere who have been involved with the
camp since the beginning. Liz handles all
the volunteers for the pineapple sales and
is a part of a Camp Courageous Marathon
Bridge group that have been raising money
for camp for over 25 years and this is Liz’s
25th year as chair! A super couple with a
heart of gold!
Donor, Tom Gaddie, hands Kevin Alexander
his check for $350 for the two tickets to the
Iowa-Ohio State football game, which was
auctioned off by our good friends at KMRY.
Ar-Jay’s Chili Cook-Off a Success!
Camp’s good friends at KMRY, Julia Kent,
Kevin Alexander, Rick Sampson, Eric
Walker, Connie Switzer, and Honorary
Board Member Rick Sellers.
In Memory of...
At The Ar-Jay Center Chili Cook-off (L-R)
Honorary Board Member Ralph Palmer
accepts a check from the Greater Cedar
Rapids Area Home Builders Association
Executive Officer, Midge Barvinek and
her husband, Jim. We are grateful for the
support of Home Builders Association. A
big thank you to Ralph Palmer and Sandy
Young for all their hard work in making the
first Chili Cook-off a success.
(L-R) Dien Nguyen, Manager of Hy-Vee Food
Services and Kathy McCarthy, Manager of
Perishables; both from the Marion Store
display a beautiful layout for the Ar-Jay
Center Chili Cook-off. Their chilies won
two awards, including best overall. We are
grateful for their participation…two great
people!
Diane Hanna, former employee of CRST
and great camp supporter has passed
away.
Back in the old days when
pineapples were flown into Chicago from
Hawaii and CRST picked them up and
trucked them to Cedar Rapids, she was
very involved in coordinating everything.
Thank You to Volunteer Amy Waldron
In August we were contacted by the Brethren
Volunteer Service (BVS) about a volunteer who was
interested in helping out at Camp Courageous for a
few weeks until her international assignment was
finalized. Always looking for good volunteers, we
said, “Sure!” Little did we know that Amy Waldron,
from Lima, Ohio, would get to volunteer for the entire
fall season. Amy was a volunteer counselor for 17
weeks. She was a very compassionate, caring and
fun person who always put the campers first. We
would like to thank Amy for all of her hard work, and
wish her good luck as she heads off to Africa for two
more years of volunteer service as a teacher.

Diane was a good hard worker, who
spent
many
weekends
peddling
pineapple. Camp’s sympathy goes out
to Diane’s husband, Galen, children Lynn
and Nanci, and to Diane’s brothers and
sisters, the Hatchers, whose family roots
are in Anamosa.

Christmas Get-A-Way
Trip to Branson
Mrs. P. is at the far right, along with nearly 80 other
loyal camp supporters headed to Branson at the end
of November to take in the Lights and Sounds of the
Holiday. Everyone had a super time…and they were out
of town just before a huge snow and ice storm locked-up
the city.
A big thank you to all those who attended this year’s Branson Trip.
(L-R) Jean Rogers and Jane Schuyler of Carlson Wagonlit Travel/
Destinations Unlimited Cedar Rapids, IA escorted the Branson
tour and did a super job. We worked for years with Jean Rogers at
the Five Seasons Hotel on the Pineapple Gala. She was always a
sweetheart…and we remember fondly when she presented Dotty
Cummins with an Honorary staff name tag, flowers, etc…during
Dotty’s last gala.

Camp Courageous would like to thank all the fruitcake

Open House and Pancake Breakfast
Thank you to all the wonderful volunteers for helping with this event. Camp appreciates all of those that take the time
to come out to the open house to see first-hand the work being done for individuals with disabilities.
A welcome sign at any breakfast comes
around noon and we begin to see members
of the Iron Pegasus arrive. This wonderful
group helps with the clean up of camp’s two
open house/breakfasts.
Past 2nd District Commander, Don McArtor,
of Cedar Rapids presents a check for $1302
from the American Legion Foundation to
be used for automatic doors in the new
medical and visitors center. We are grateful
for the Legions on-going support.
Here is one super group of camp volunteers.
(L-R) Robert, Nellie, and Richard Vetter of
Muscatine; along with Honorary Board
Member, Leo Greco. All are regulars at the
camp’s breakfasts and the nicest folks you
will ever meet.
It is always a treat to see the members of
the Good Sams – Two Rivers at camp’s
breakfasts. Along with their attendance,
they are wonderful supporters, as a group
and individually.
Here are the camp’s early birds at every breakfast! A big thank-you to
the sausage cookers who do such an exceptional job on preparing the
sausage for camp’s breakfasts!
Honorary Board Members Charlie & Tina
Weepie of Cedar Rapids deliver a blanket
Tina hand made. The delivery came after
the Weepies worked a very full day at
the camp’s Pancake Breakfast and Open
House. These two are always there to help.
Iva Auliff (third from the left) chose Camp
Courageous as her state project for the
Iowa Grand Temple – Phythian Sisters of
Iowa. Iva was this past year’s Grand Chief.
Along with raising nearly $1,400, a trunk
load of tabs were collected. Helping Iva
is (L-R) Gene Schultz, Dayna Decker, Iva
Auliff, Roberta Snyder, Verla Schultz, and
Lois Klever.
Camp’s breakfasts are a great time to rekindle old friendships.
(L-R) Board Member, Mag Welter of Monticello; Honorary
Board Member, Helen Watts of Dubuque; former camp staff
John Watts of LaCrosse WI (John has just returned from
the conflict in Iraq) and Mirian Williams, of Dubuque. All are
wonderful camp supporters and friends for nearly 40 years!
Marginal Note: Consideration for others can mean taking a wing instead of a drumstick.

Thank you for helping make this dream come true!
Camp Courageous is run purely on donations, without government assistance,
without formal sponsorship, and without paid fund raisers. What this means is that
everything that is given to camp, whether it be food, time, materials, or money, goes
directly to benefit over 5,000 campers with disabilities who attend camp each year.
Listed below are those who have contributed money, time, and/or supplies from
September 22, 2006 to December 31, 2006.
Thank you to Evelyn Scott for giving camp
the opportunity to give a presentation to
the American Baptist Women’s Fall Rally,
held at the Anamosa 1st Baptist Church.
We appreciate their warm hospitality and
support.
Thank you to Randy Householder for
inviting camp to the Birmingham Lions Club
meeting. This club has been instrumental
on providing the opportunity to come to
camp to many area students. We appreciate
their hospitality and support.

In Memory of...
Camp Courageous
lost a dear friend
with the death of Don
Bergman. I first met
Don when I student
taught in Monticello
in
1976.
His
daughter,
Sharon,
was one of my
students. My 1966
Volkswagen Beatle
was having serious
problems, so I left it
at Nick’s Service Station to be worked on.
I realized later I had no cash and back then
college kids did not have credit cards…not
that anyone would give me one… When I
needed to cash a check Sharon told me to
go to her Dad, and he would take care of
me. I headed to the Monticello State Bank,
where Don was a Vice President. Don was
very kind to me... trusted me... and cashed
a check. We talked about many of my coworkers at Dubuque Bank and Trust... Don
was well known by many bankers.
Never would we dream that four years
later we would be moving to Monticello,
where my wife, Pat would be working parttime at the bank and less than 20 years
later we would be working together on the
bank board.
Don was a quiet man...a gentleman...a
man that was very highly respected in
the banking industry and all that he was
involved in. A man of incredible integrity.
During Don’s time as CEO of the
Monticello State Bank, the bank became
the largest corporate Monticello donor to
Camp Courageous and to other charities.
Don always believed in giving back.
Don was a wonderful husband, father,
grandfather, and friend to all who had
the opportunity to meet him. Camp’s
sympathy goes out to Paddy and family.
Thank you to Lynn Burrell, owner of the
Cedar Rapids Frontier Garden Center for
all his kindness and generosity given to
camp throughout the year. If camp ever
has a need, Lynn is there to help. Lynn is a
regular caller, letting us know he has some
things for camp. We feel fortunate to have
Lynn as a friend.
9
Over 250 people attended the 60th
anniversary of Bob & Marge Zeaman of
Ely. Bob provided the camp 100% of the
proceeds from his CDs, tapes, and fruitcake
sales. Bob also provided camp nearly 100
new CDs and tapes that are on sale in the
camp store. Many donations have also come
into camp in honor of their 60th. Thank you
Bob and Marge and we wish you many more
happy and wonderful years together!
Ralph & Gloria Marolf of Farley stand
before the Camp Courageous Booth at the
Dubuque Very Special Arts 100 Men Who
Cook Benefit. The Dubuque Very Special
Arts have been long time supporters of the
camp, as have the Marolfs through their
membership in the Petroleum Marketers and
Convenience Stores of Iowa.
Bob Sheets was recognized at camp during
a Maquoketa River Trail meeting for his
37 years as a Wildlife Biologist with Iowa
Department of Natural Resources and
his service to this area. Bob has been a
tremendous asset to Camp Courageous
over the years. I do not know a more
knowledgable person on this area. Bob
Sheets has been a Wildlife Biologist with
IDNR for about 37 years and has been in
charge of the Maquoketa Wildlife Unit for
more than 30 years. He is also in charge of
Muskrat Slough Wildlife Area in the southern
part of Jones County and has helped
hundreds of Jones County landowners
over the years with habitat improvement
practices. We wish him the very best in
retirement!

Memorials…
Camp is grateful to so many of you who
have given gifts to camp in memory of loved
ones. The cards and letters expressing the
wonderful memories, left to you by your loved
ones, has provided us the inspiration to reach
out to those in need and bring joy to their lives.
It is in the memory of your loved ones that we
dedicate ourselves to doing all that is within
our abilities, to bring true happiness to the
campers and their families camp serves.
Marginal Note: You have reached middle age when you’ve learned to take care of your health, and intend on starting any day now.

Dear Charlie,
We wanted to tell you about
another Camp Courageous first.
Our son, Wade, has been attending
camp since 1999 and has always
tremendously enjoyed his “JustFor-You” weeks and respite
weekends. Usually, by the end of his
stay, when we come to pick him up,
he’s eager to get in the car for the
ride home.
But something very wonderful
happend last weekend when the
camp staff began moving camper
luggage to the cafeteria so
everyone would be ready to go after
lunch. Wade located his suitcase
and immediately began rolling it
back to his cabin. He wanted to
stay longer—he wasn’t ready to
go home! This really made us feel
great. Wade is an only child, very
dependent on his doting parents—or
so we think—and it has always been
difficult to find any place or anyone
he prefers more than home or us.
Camp Courageous is helping him
enjoy his independence, something
that is very important as he grows
older. So once again, camp is
playing an important role in our
son’s positive development.
The credit for the great weekend
belongs to his great staff… It had
been the first time they had ever
worked directly with Wade and they
did a terrific job.
We always knew he really enjoyed
camp—now we know how much.
Keep up the great work!!
Best wishes,
Bart and Georgia Hillyer
Belleville, IL

Remembering Honorary
Board Member Bill Hennessy
Honorary
Board
Member
William
R. Hennessey died
November 22, 2006.
In 1973 Hennessey
Brothers Construction
donated its time and
equipment and either
contributed materials
or was instrumental in
obtaining them for the construction of most of
the original buildings and underground work
at the camp. In 1987, Bill was honored at the
Pineapple Ball and received recognition as an
Honorary Board Member. The Hennessey
Brothers have been involved in the Camp
since day one, pioneering in the construction,
and always being there to help, whenever help
was needed. An increditable family. Our
sympathy goes out to Bill’s Family, including
Mary; son George, and daughters Christine
Gage and Joanne Stevens and their families:
his sister Liz Valliere who carries on the family
tradition of being very involved in camp.
A few Bill Hennessey wit and wisdoms…
On the Grand Canyon… “What’d I tell
you guys? It’s a big hole. It’d make a great
landfill.”
Management style to construction crew…
“I’m going to give those guys a little pep
talk.”
On making a mountain out of a molehill…
“What would you do if you really had
problems?”
IRA CHARITABLE ROLLOVER
If you are 70 1/2 or older, you may
make an outright gift from your IRA
or up to $100,000 a year to a qualified
charity, (like Camp Courageous)
without first claiming the amount as
taxable income.
A huge thank you to Larry Gullett, Director
Jones County Conservation Board for
putting together a wonderful opportunity
for national, state, and local individuals
interested in the continued improvement in
the natural resources of the area. They were
gathered to brain storm.
Marginal Note: It’s hard to convince a child that in meeting the day’s requirement for vegetables, carrot cake doesn’t count.

A big thank you to Dale and Caryl
Rammelsberg who dropped off a load
of paper products and cookies for the
upcoming Holiday parties for campers. We
first met this wonderful couple on a camp
cruise, and the friendship has grown. Super
couple!!!
Taylor Noonan from Solon (precious girl in
the chair) who is the daughter of Mark and
Jenny Noonan, asked the people she invited
to her birthday party back in September
to donate money to Camp Courageous
instead of giving her presents in honor
of her grandpa, Ron Noonan, who passed
away this past summer in a construction
accident.
Ron was a wonderful man, a
great camp volunteer, along with being
an exceptional gandpa to Taylor. We are
grateful to Taylor for thinking of camp in this
very special way.
Thank you to the Five Seasons Beam
Specialty Club for inviting camp to their
dinner, meeting, and some Pirate Bingo.
This fun-loving group have been so good
to camp, since the mid-70s. (L-R Back) Mel
Buckner, Jill Whitsell, Fran DeMarce, Phylis
and Jim Sliger, Raymond Westron, ,Sharron
and Roger Konzen, George Politis, (L-R
Front) Ken DeMarce, Bob Budden, Keith
Fettkether, Cookie Politis, Barb Patterson,
Ruby Boehmke , and Keith Roberts. Each
member is a prize!

Camper
Eldon Ruckotzke Remembered
Camp
Courageous’
super
camper Eldon Ruchotzke, 69 of Tipton,
has passed away. His death has been
a real loss to the staff at camp. He
was one of those that could really
light up the camp with his smile and
great personality. His obituary read,
“Memorials to Camp Courageous of
Iowa. A week of vacation at Camp
Courageous was always the highlight
of Eldon’s year.” Eldon had been
coming to camp since 1982.
Eldon made his home for most of his
adult life (40 years) in the county home
outside Tipton called New Horizons.
He also loved and thrived on his job
at Cedar Employment Opportunities
in Tipton. Eldon and his friends from
the home were well known for their
delightful personalities and their bib
overalls. Eldon was a huge Hawkeye
fan. Much of Eldon’s possessions came
to camp, following his death, along
with memorials.
Eldon Ruchotzke proved that one
person can make a huge difference.
Because of Eldon’s love for camp,
he had his whole family involved.
Eldon had a loving and supportive
family. Eldon’s family consists of a
brother, Everett, who lives in Columbus
Junction with his wife Barb who have
been good camp supporters. Eldon’s
sister, Evelyn Wiebel, of Clarence was
a great supporter of Camp Courageous
and often brought the things that the
Lowden AMVETS had collected for
the camp. In 1992, Evelyn’s husband
Herb Wiebel died on a Sunday morning
and Eldon had just come to camp that
same day. His sister Elda offered to
get him for the funeral or visitation but
Camper Melvin Hauschild, Carol Melton
(Travel Director), Camper Delbert Coppess,
and Camper Eldon Ruchotzke.

Eldon thought his week of vacation at
camp should not be interrupted! Eldon
was very close to his twin sister, Eloise
Vacek. She and her husband Michael,
live in rural Oxford Junction. She was
the one that took care of his clothes and
saw to it that he got packed for coming
to camp. His other sister is Elda Licht
and husband Larry who live in Clarence.
She belongs to the Lend-A-Hand group,
which has played such a huge role in the
camp, especially through the giving of
thousands of hours of volunteer time.
At camp Lend-A-Hand has peeled
hundreds of apples, labeled thousands
of envelopes, and wrapped a lot of
silverware for the breakfasts. They
have “redesigned” the camper bibs at
their church by removing the Velcro
and sewing on strings. They have
also made a good number of blankets
for the camp. Eldon’s enthusiasm for
Camp Courageous was obviously, very
infectious.
Campers Delbert Coppess, Melvin Hauschild,
Dean Hogan, and Eldon Ruchotzke.
Eldon’s niece was Sarah Licht…one
of Camp’s outstanding counselors for
many summers. She knew about Camp
Courageous because her classmate and
friend, Laura Schwitzer, signed-up to
work here. Eldon often came in the
fall after Sarah went back to school.
However Eldon was at camp one or
two years when Sarah was here. They
of course had a special bond. Sarah’s
work at Camp changed her life and
major in college. She is now teaching
in Washington, Iowa - in the special
education field.
Eldon looked forward to coming to
Camp Courageous each year and it
was the highlight of his year. As soon
as Lisa at the Care Facility had their
reservations and date established, he
talked about it every time the family
would see him!
Here are comments from camp’s
Travel Director, Carol Melton.
“My little ol’ men in overalls” as I
liked to call the group are at the top of
my list of favorite people of all time. I
loved playing Skipbo with Eldon! He
would never let anybody cheat. No
matter how hard I would try. He was
a wonderful dancer and he always gave
me a challenge when we went to play
horseshoes. He was also extremely
helpful when we’d sign up to clean the
barn during his week here, and always
wore his overalls on those days.
The thing I will always remember
about Eldon was the way he would belt
out a song anytime I asked for one. I
will always remember him when I hear
the song “Silver Bells”. I would request
this song from him the most. He would
bob his head, close his eyes and truly
feel the song. And another song that
will always remind me of Eldon was
“You Are My Sunshine”. When we
came to the verse “So I hung my head
and cried” he’d always sing out “oh boo
hoo.” He was a wonderful man!!! And
I find it really hard to think that he’s
gone. I miss him…
I was his counselor in the falls of 2004
and 2005, and one of his dance partners
at most of the dances he attended since
I met him 4 years ago.”

Thank you to Mary Johnson (far left) for
arranging the Passionate Red Hat Ladies
visit to Camp Courageous. Great group of
ladies with a great interest in camp!
A big thank-you to the Hills Town and
Country for providing camp a huge load
of needed items and gifts for the 100s of
campers that come to camp during the
holiday season. This group is a huge help to
Santa. Special thanks to Cathy Fitzmaurice
– Hill for arranging the program.
Marginal Note: The things we sweep under the rug have a disconcerting habit of creeping out on the other side.

Small wish, big meaning
By Barb Ickes | Thursday, November 23, 2006
Quad City Times
Every year at this time, Tammy Brinker
packs her bags for camp.
For the entire 45 years of her life, Brinker
has been a ward of the state. She was born
mentally retarded and never has known her
family, not even a distant cousin.
In some ways, though, she knows what
she’s been missing.
“She sees other people’s family members
come and go on visits,” said Alice Orsborn,
Brinker’s case worker at The Arc of Rock
Island County for the past 20 years. “She’s
aware.”
After spending her early years in foster
homes, Brinker became a client of The Arc and
has lived in one of the agency’s independent
living homes for the past 15 years. Though her
developmental delays are profound, there is
plenty she understands and enjoys.
One of the most enjoyable things in her
life is the annual vacation she used to take to
Camp Courageous, which is a recreational and
respite camp for people with disabilities.
“She still packs her bags and even knows
that November is the time of year she is
supposed to go.”
It is easy to understand Brinker’s attraction
to Camp Courageous. Though she is not able
to speak, she is amply capable of socializing.
“She says some words, but very few,” Kess
said. “Believe me, though, she’s pretty good at
getting her point across.”
Having spent 20 years with Brinker, Orsborn
also is well aware of the things she favors.
“She loves one-on-one attention, which
can be tough because she lives with six other
women,” she said. “She also loves to go
places.”
And Camp Courageous takes the cake.
There’s the indoor swimming pool,
crafts, bonfires, new people and, of course,
socializing.
Since she’s a ward of the state, her monthly
income is very low…which is why no one is
ever turned away from Camp Courageous due
to finances. “She really loves it.”

hangers as part of her job at The Arc of Rock
Island County. Brinker’s year is highlighted

Camp Courageous has a wonderful
foundation that suports the camp.
Donations to the foundation are invested
and the interest goes to the support the
camp. So it is a gift that will give forever. I
started giving $20 a week to the foundation,
just after it was founded in 1980 and that
has grown to $40 a week today. It is the
best way to see the dream of coming to
camp alive forever. The board of directors
for the foundation are (L-R) Helen Watts,
Bob Thoeni, Carol Vorhies, Dan Vorhies,
Randy Faulkner, Steve Supple, Ed Recker,
Jerry Naylor, Sonja Penaluna and Tom
Penaluna. Not pictured is Kay and Bill

Estate Planning For Your
Child With Disabilities
Frank A. Varvaris
I’ve enjoyed the privilege of working in the
estate planning and disability planning milieu
since 1990. During this period of time, I’ve
had an opportunity to learn so much from my
clients.
One thing that I’ve learned is that parents
who have a child with disabilities, are not so
concerned about the fact that their child has
disabilities, they are more concerned about
what might be in store for their child once
mom and dad are no longer in the picture.
I also learned that parents want answers to
their own specific concerns, such as, “where
will my child continue to reside,” “how do I
make sure his or her needs will continue to be
met,” “can he or she own a home,” “who will
advocate for our child when we are no longer
around,” “what will happen to our child if
government cut backs occur,” “how can we
provide additional money,” and more.
I strongly believe that in order to properly
address these issues, parents should develop a
full and complete Personal Life Program for
their child with disabilities.
Personal Life Planning provides parents
with an opportunity to develop a road map
that future advocates and care providers can
follow to ensure that their child will always
enjoy a meaningful lifestyle. This planning
can provide parents with a greater peace of
mind.
There are 5 steps that you should follow
when developing a Program to meet your
child’s future needs. In order to make the
process as simple as possible, our office can
assist you. As a matter of fact, we will even
coordinate with your attorney to make certain
that if legal documents are written, they will
impact favorably for your child
On Tuesday, January 30th, at 6:30 PM,
Camp Courageous is sponsoring a seminar
for families entitled “Estate Planning for
Persons with Disabilities.” The 60 minute
presentation will be held at the Cedar Rapids
Public Library, in the Beams Auditorium.
If you would like to attend this important
meeting, please call Camp Courageous at
(319) 465-5916, ext. 2100, to reserve your
seat. Space is limited.

Isabelle Lande recently celebrated her 11th
birthday. What made this such a special
birthday was her request that a donation
be made to Camp Courageous instead
of gifts. What a generous, special young
lady. Pictured is Isabelle and her brothers
presenting her birthday donation to camp.
IRAs and Charity
Recently, Congress OK’d direct
contributions from IRAs to charity. In 2006
and 2007, owners at least age 70.5 can
donate up to $100,000 a year from their
retirement accounts, and the gifts count
toward the owner’s required minimum
distribution. One gets no deduction, but
does get a tax break because the money
is not included in one’s taxable income, as
it would be if one withdrew funds.
Not only is this simpler than taking a
distribution, giving the money to charity
and then claiming a deduction, but it also
can save money if including the payout in
one’s income would squeeze tax breaks,
such as the value of personal exemptions
and itemized deductions, that phase out
as income rises. Note that to qualify for
the break, one can’t give the money to
a donor-advised fund or a supporting
private foundation. As always, consult a
tax advisor for additional information.
Marginal Note: You know you’re grown up when you no longer have things stored at your parent’s home.

Patty Krenz
Grynneth (Rhoades) Parizek-a.k.a. “Mrs. P” from Lone Tree
Mrs. P selected as one of “9 Who Care” for work at Camp Courageous
Grynneth (Rhoades) Parizek (a.k.a. Mrs. P
from Lone Tree) was born January 23, 1928 in
Delta Iowa. She was born at home for a cost
of $25. Anyone who knows Mrs. P, will agree,
that was the best $25 ever spent. She is now 78years-old. She went to nine different schools
due to her Father’s work on the railroad for 20
years, which required the family to be constantly
on the move. Her Dad always told her there
was no need to buy a class ring, because who
knows what school she will be attending for
graduation. She graduated from Stockton High
School in Missouri. There were 24 in her class.
She then headed to the University of Iowa
Hospital where she cared for the patients. Mrs.
P’s father died at the age of 45 and her mother
died at 59. Mrs. P. met the love of her life, Mike
Parizek, while ice-skating. They were married
in 1950 in Grinnell at the same time, day, and
month as her parents. Mrs. P. was married 35
years and has been widowed for 21 years. Mike
died at the age of 58, in 1985, from an aneurysm
behind the ear.
Mrs. P has five living children, they are
Rhoada, 55, from Colorado who cooks in the
schools; Michel, 53, lives on a farm outside
Lone Tree; Patty, 52, lives in Lone Tree and
works at Owen’s Brush; Wyatt, 49, lives in
Lone Tree and does construction; lost one son
Jaydee, who died at 5 weeks; and Romona is in
Cedar Rapids and works for a credit union.
Mrs. P. always had a reputation for being
a lady of the highest integrity. She has a
reputation for service to others, and doing the
above and beyond what was ever expected.
People of all ages have grown to depend on
Mrs. P to be there to help, when help is needed.
Mrs. P is an outgoing lady. From the little
pre-schooler to the oldest person in the Senior
Home she is as tender, gentle, and kind hearted
as they come. Her quick smile of friendship
that reaches out to all, makes one realize
quickly the kind person she is. Mrs. P wears
her heart on her sleeve.
Mrs. P’s greatest interest has been that
of helping others. Mrs. P tends to blend in,
because her good deeds to others are so grass
roots. For her entire life she has been in the
pursuit of making life better for others. She
has been strongly involved in programs for
youth…not just during the time her children
were growing up…but throughout her entire
life. Mrs. P realizes that the investment of time
during a young person’s formative years will
have wonderful paybacks for the community
and society in the future. Most importantly
Mrs. P has been an exceptional role model for
the young…when they need it the most. When
Mrs. P chooses to get involved in something,
she jumps in with both feet. And it is because
of this lady’s incredible integrity, honesty, and
sincerity of purpose that many of us follow.
Mrs. P has been a wonderful wife, mother,
grandmother, and a welcome friend to those
in need. Currently Mrs. P is very involved in
helping care for a granddaughter, Lindsay, who
was involved in a car accident that has left her
in a coma at University of Iowa Hospitals and
Clinics. The accident occurred November 5
and as of this writing (Thanksgiving-Nov. 23)
she has just been transferred out of intensive
care to her own room…but she has not come
conscious, yet.
Mrs. P is not one who seeks awards and
recognition for the things she does. She sees a
need and meets that need. Mrs. P’s past is filled
with appreciation awards and recognitions
for so many she has helped. But I think the
award Mrs. P gets the most happiness from is
the simple thank you that comes after doing
something for someone, or when she just has
that personal satisfaction doing something
anonymously. It is the feeling of satisfaction
that comes when you have made a difference in
someone’s life.
Mrs. P. has received the Camp Courageous
Tall Pine Award for her outstanding volunteer
work at Camp Courageous for nearly 20 years.
There has been nothing Mrs. P. has been asked
to do, that she doesn’t do for camp and the over
5,000 campers with special needs the camp
serves.
Mrs. P has received recognition from the
Girl Scouts for over 30 years of service. A
special blanket displaying the mission of the
Girl Scouts was given to her in recognition of
her years of service and is something she dearly
treasures.
And she has received local recognition
from the community…from the Chamber of
Commerce to the Schools… for her dedication
to everything that betters and grows the
community, the school, and the individual.
Mrs. P started collecting sayings at the age
of 8! She started putting signs with those
sayings up at the school stop signs 33 years
ago. People look forward to these. If Mrs.
P. makes one person happy, it makes her
day. She used to do it every morning at 6:
30 AM…”but now with retirement; it can be
a little later.” She goes through 700 sayings
a year. Mrs. P has published a book called
“From My Little Corner of the World” filled
with sayings. She also volunteers to write a
weekly column with the same name in her local
newspaper. Proceeds from her book have gone
back to the school she so loves for things like
scholarships and class projects. Couple cute
ones include… “Pretending to be rich, keeps
many people poor”. “Everybody wants to eat
at the government’s table, but nobody wants to
do the dishes.”
Marginal Note: A well-groomed park without people is like a clean house without company.
Mrs P. with her signs and hand made towels!
Mrs. P is one of Nine-Who Care Winners!
Mrs. P. has had ample opportunities to quit
and say I can’t do this anymore…she has had
both knees and both shoulders replaced and
other health concerns, which anyone would have
understood her pulling back on volunteering…
but she has not. If anything her volunteerism
has grown with her age. At a time in one’s life
when most are thinking about relaxing, versus
taking on more upon retirement, Mrs. P. has
done just the opposite. Mrs. P. has taken on
much more than she ever dreamed. I think
three of Mrs. P’s most outstanding qualities
are her dedication, her integrity, and her ability
to focus on a project and give it her all. Even
though Mrs. P has challenges of her own, and a
lot of things to juggle, she is always so positive
and always looking out for the needs of others,
before her own.
The sacrifices Mrs. P. has made for Camp
Courageous, alone, is unbelievable. Mrs. P.
has introduced many folks to the camp. From
huge groups to individuals, Camp Courageous
has realized hundreds of new friends, thanks to
Mrs. P.
Mrs. P’s Favorite Saying is: If it is to be… it
is up to me!
Mrs. P has dedicated her life to showing
that she cares through endless volunteer
involvement on the behalf of those with special
needs and many others, and that is why Camp
was proud to nominate Mrs. P for The 9-WhoCare Award.

The annual Square Dance Benefit
for Camp Courageous was once again
held on the second Sunday in October.
For the past three years, this event
has been held in the Sill Barn. While
the atmosphere was wonderful, these
twirling, toe tapping, hand clapping
dancers of all ages outgrew the barn.
So this year’s event was held in the
lodge. Trays of treats were brought in
to sample and share with the campers
and they raised a large donation
for camp. It was a great event on a
beautiful day.
Thank you to everyone who attended. See
you next year!!

Winter Trip takes Campers Cruising!
Camp Courageous took 50 campers and staff on a cruise to the Bahamas
aboard the Carnival Elation this December through the camp’s Travel Program.
This program allows campers that have the resources to take trips, such as this
cruise, but require specialized staff and/or medical care for travel. It’s a great
way for campers to experience travel opportunities that they would otherwise
not have.

(L-R) Dan Vorhies was recently honored with
the Alliance Pipeline Hero Award for his
outstanding dedication to not only Camp
Courageous, but to many programs in the
area. To present the award is Vicki Ruppert,
Administrative Assistant in the Maquoketa
office. Alliance Pipeline also presented a
check for $2500 to Dan’s favorite charity,
which was Camp Courageous. Board
Member Jim Gadient accepts the check.
Jim had the pipeline go through some of
his property and made the camp aware
of this award. The camp then nominated
Dan Vorhies. Alliance Pipeline has taken a
very strong approach to being active in the
communities and areas their pipeline has
gone through. They are a great company,
and Camp Courageous is grateful for their
support!

Ricky Rowray has been coming to camp
for over a decade to perform his wonderful
magic show and make balloon animals for
literally thousands of campers. You can find
him at camp during evening programs and at
many of the camp’s special events.
• POT & PANS NEEDED •
During Summer and Fall Sessions campers look forward
to cooking out at a number of campsites. During the
busiest time there will be up to 130 campers and
counselors cooking over a fire. This requires a large
number of pots and pans. Some of the cookware needs
to be replaced. There is a need for heavy duty pots and
pans. Contact Dennis at dbayne@campcourageous.org
or call 319-465-5916, ext. 2400 for more information.
Marginal Note: How does a thermos bottle know which liquids to keep hot and which to keep cold?

Thank You to All Helping
So much would not be possible without volunteers!
Thank you to all of the people that have volunteered their valuable time at the camp. Pictured on this page, and
throughout this newsletter, are just a few of the many faces that have come to camp over the past few months to help.
The Rachel Circle and friends from the Brandon area spent their
annual volunteer day at camp working on a large mailing. They are
such a pleasent group that gets a lot done in a short time. Camp is
appreciative of all their help!
A big thank you to the Monticello Sacred Heart Confirmation Class
for volunteering their time to help with clean-up in the camp’s
woods. They moved logs, spread wood chips, and more.
Thank You to Santa’s Helpers!
Outstanding camp volunteer Lowell and
Judith Freeland have been giving nearly a
half a year to Camp Courageous for years
and years. Judith helps in the kitchen and
Lowell wherever help is needed. They don’t
come any nicer or dedicated than Judith
and Lowell. Everyone affiliated with camp
feels fortunate to have the Freelands do so
much for camp…never expecting anything
in return. We wish them the best in Texas
over the winter.
(L-R) Kay Siebenthal volunteered at the
camp for a week while her son, Randy, was
attending. Kay was great help in the kitchen
for the week… we appreciated having her.
Kay and Randy are from Wyoming, IL.
This fall, over 12 bushels of apples were
donated to the camp. Pictured are the
volunteers who spent and entire day
turning the apples into applesauce. Thanks
to (board member) Phil and Shirley Martin,
Connie Wilson, and Gary and Judy Freese
for volunteering their time.
For the latest information
on volunteer projects
for you or your group,
contact Shannon Poe at
shannon@campcourageo
us.org or call her at
319-465-5916, ext. 2320.
Many thanks to Jennifer Lambert and the
Business Professionals of America club
from Monticello High School who spent
a Sunday afternoon gift wrapping. The
group wrapped the hundreds gifts that
are donated each year for the children
and adults who attend our annual
holiday parties in December. Thank you
all so much and we look forward to your
help again in 2007!
Do you have gifts that can
be given out at next year’s
holiday parties?
Camp needs new items, wrapped
or unwrapped, for all ages.
“A volunteer is not paid, not because they are worthless, but
because they are priceless.”

gift in memory of or in honor of an individual(s) or
occasion. An acknowledgement about your gift can be

The Camp Courageous indoor pool was built one

one of the more popular activities for the campers.
You can help support this activity by buying a pool
block for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of your
choice, will be put on the block as a lasting reminder
of your gift to the camp.

Visitor & Nursing Center Plaques
To better serve the campers that attend Camp
Courageous of Iowa, and to help educate more people
about the dream of the camp, a new Visitor’s Center
and Nursing area has been constructed as part of the
remodeling of the camp’s office building. This new
building project allows for better wheelchair access
and more room for program, nursing, and program
areas.
You can help with this project by purchasing a
plaque for $1,000. Your name, or the wording of
your choice, will appear on the plaque in the new
visitor’s center. Use the donation form on the back

Businesses and individuals can help make the
Camp Courageous Courier newsletter possible by

Approximately 20,000 Couriers are printed
each quarter (Jan., Apr., July, Oct.) and are sent
to all of camp’s supporters.
The camp’s newsletter is the best way to help tell others about the dream of Camp
Courageous of Iowa. Even though the printing of the Courier is done for close to
cost and labeling/sorting is provided by Mailing Services Inc. for free, postage is still
expensive… any assistance that you or your business can provide would be appreciated.
Please consider a contribution of $125 per issue or $400 for an entire year.
Your name or business will be listed as a contributor.
Contact Matt Bollwitt at 319-465-5916, ext. 2110 for more information.
Thank you to the following contributors:
Dorothy Ehlinger
Joe Corpstein and Mailing Services Inc.
Mailing Services Inc. in Cedar Rapids perform the labeling, sorting, and mailing of this
newsletter. Their wonderful staff save the camp hundreds of dollars in time, materials,
and postage with each of the six major mailings each year!
For more information about volunteering at Camp Courageous
contact Shannon Poe at spoe@campcourageous.org or call 319-465-5916, ext. 2320.
Needed: Visitor’s Center Volunteers
An exciting new volunteer position is currently being developed at Camp Courageous. We are searching
for “young at heart” individuals to volunteer in the new Visitors Center. No special skills are needed other
than the desire to welcome others to learn more about the dream that is Camp Courageous. Work just an
hour or two, or all day… flexible hours and days! Please consider sharing your time and talents.
If you are interested in helping in the Visitors Center then call Becky Melchert at 319-465-5916 ext. 2130.
Marginal Note: People forget how fast you did a job, but they remember how well you did it.

After 33 years, Camp Courageous
continues to operate on donations,
without government assistance, without
formal sponsorship, and without paid
fund-raisers. What this means is that
everything that is given to the Camp, goes
directly to benefit the campers. One of
the reasons the Camp has grown from
serving 211 campers in 1974 to over
5,000 campers today, is the incredible
dedication of volunteers. Volunteer help
is needed in virtually every aspect of the
camp. Please consider volunteering your
time and talents to Camp Courageous.
