Mitzvah Corps

In 1988, I was able to participate in one of the Reform Movements Youth Brigades, the Mitzvah Corps.  We brought about 50-70 underpriviledged youth from the Cleveland area to a camp site for a week of overnight camp and fun and games.   I was even able to myself particpate as one of 3 of the coordinators of this activity the following summer.  It was alot of fun.  We have a good time and we hope that the children had fun.  It requited intense fundraising.  The year I did it as a coordinator, we raised somehow about $10,000 dollars in donations.  The fellow pictured above is named "Clayton".  He was a fun camper.
