Keri Rosebrook Weuste
It is unbelievable to me that I am writing this post - my friend, and co-worker, Keri Weuste passed away at 5:00 a.m. this morning from a brave, long fight with cancer. I hate that word - cancer... I hear it too often and it always brings a certain kind of sadness to everyone it touches.
Keri was so loyal to Camp Fire - she loved her job and she loved Camp Fire. She worked for more than 30 years at this Council and wore many hats during those years. Keri always had a smile on her face and she always looked for the good in things and in people. She will be so missed by so many people.
Camp Fire is a better place for all those big and little things Keri did year after year. I am a better person for knowing Keri and loving her. All of us at Camp Fire are so lucky to have known her and shared Camp Fire with her.
WoHeLo Keri.....

Absolutely Incredible Kid Day
What is Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®?
It's a day designated to honor our nation's children by writing letters of love and encouragement to them. It's a simple, meaningful way for adults to let children know how much they are appreciated.
When is Absolutely Incredible Kid Day®?

What's so special about a letter?
A letter is personal, tangible and something a person can hold onto for years to come. Through written words, people can express emotions they may hold back in conversation. During the often-challenging times of adolescence, children may be more open to reading a letter than having a talk that may "embarrass" them.
Does writing a letter really make a difference?
Children need positive reinforcement in their lives. The right words of encouragement can come at just the time a child needs them most - helping the child make better decisions, build self-esteem, and even be more compassionate and successful.
Why is Camp Fire USA sponsoring this event?
Camp Fire USA wants to honor the hundreds of thousands of children involved in Camp Fire USA, as well as those not involved in our programs.
