JOSEPH K. SMITH MEMORIAL SUMMER CAMP FUND
Dear Friend:
You can make a difference in the life of a child.
Help send a child to summer camp.
The Metropolitan Police Department is working to send children to Camp
Ernest W. Brown. Camp Brown is operated by MPD officers and staff of
the Boys and Girls Club of Greater Washington.
Please mark your calendar now for the Third Annual Joseph K. Smith
Memorial Summer Camp Benefit Dinner which will take place on Friday,
June 1, 2007, from 6:30 p.m. until 10:00 p.m., at the Washington Navy
Yard, Conference and Catering Center 1454 Parsons Avenue, S.E.,
Washington, D.C.
This is your chance to help children escape the stress of inner-city
living for one week during the summer to experience camp in the
country. For some of these children, it is their first experience
outside of the city.
As a result of last year's fund-raising efforts, we were able to
sponsor 70 children at Camp Brown and renovate six of the forty cabins
that were damaged by Hurricane Isabelle in 2003. This year, we would
like to double the number of children sponsored and renovate as many
additional cabins as possible. Only with your help, can we restore
Camp Brown to its pre-hurricane condition, and permit hundreds of
inner-city youth the opportunity to experience a week-long summer
getaway that is fun and educational.
You can assist in this effort by purchasing tickets to attend the
benefit dinner, taking out an ad in the commemorative program booklet,
sponsoring a child at camp, or making a donation. Tickets for the
dinner are $40.00 each, or $400.00 for a table of ten. For ad rates in
the program, please see the attached flier. A donation of $100.00 will
sponsor a child at camp for a week. Any donation you are able to make
will be greatly appreciated. In this connection, please make checks
payable to the "Sixth District MPD Citizen's Advisory Council", our
501(c) (3) partner.
For more information, please contact Mr. George W. Fenderson,
Chairperson, at 202 Varnum Street, NW, Washington, DC 20011-7321, or
at (202) 291-6727.

Camp Brown
------------------------------
Camp Brown, named after former police chief and co-founder, Ernest W.
Brown is operated through a partnership agreement between the
Metropolitan Police Department and the Boys and Girls Clubs of Greater
Washington. This year, one-week camp sessions will be held beginning
July 9, through August 17, 2007. The camp is located about 80 miles
south of Washington, DC in Scotland, Maryland.
For seventy years, Camp Brown has been a place for the District's
school-aged youth between the ages of 7 and 13 to escape the busy city
for a week-long vacation. The campers stay in wooden cabins on 168
acres of land alongside the Potomac River where they enjoy swimming,
biking, fishing, motivational speaking, and many other structured
activities. Camp counselors include police officers who are trained to
work with youth, as well as certified staff. For information on the
cost of the camp, call 202-397-CLUB (2582), ext. 8190 or visit
