IOCP's monthly online newsletter

LaDonna Hoy
Executive Director
IOCP is moving. . .
online! We are adding a monthly
e-newsletter.
Upcoming events, breaking news, ways to be involved--you'll find it here.
Touchpoint, our print newsletter, will now publish 4 times a year: January, April, July, and October.
There you'll continue to find: features, success stories, FAQs, community voices, and service highlights.
Going online means:
· We save printing
and postage costs.
· We bring you more timely updates.
· We respond more quickly.
These are hard times for the folks we serve. We can't think of a better time or way to stay connected.
As we celebrate 30 years of service, we also celebrate all of
you--each of whom plays an irreplaceable role in making new and hopeful futures possible for families and kids.
Online or in print, stay with us, friends.

Sponsor a camper
 Every summer, IOCP offers an 8-week afternoon camp for about 200 Wayzata School District youth from low-income families. Camp CONECT provides a safe, fun environment with supervised activities. This year's theme is "Camp CONECT Gets Fit." Kids will focus on healthy eating and physical fitness. Put a smile on the face of a CONECT camper this summer!
· A gift of $500 sponsors one camper.
· A gift of $62.50 provides a week of fun.
