March, 1999 Dear Neighbor: You can make a difference in your community today. Last year, five developmentally disabled youngsters went to summer camp, one for three weeks, two for four weeks and two for five weeks because of you. You made the difference to five families that are your friends and neighbors. This year, you can make a difference again to five developmentally disabled youngsters who can go to summer camp because of you. You can make a difference right now. Your $5.00 and $10.00 contribution will allow five Hasbrouck Heights youngsters to spend six weeks at Ramapo College, and attend the Rainbow Summer Day Program. This unique program will allow these children to participate in activities that meet their very unique needs. The cost is over $2,200.00 per child for six weeks. We are asking the community's help by passing the "proverbial" hat. Please open your hearts with a contribution. Your
