I just spent the morning down at Camp CaPella on Phillips Lake in Dedham.  Reason being was to shoot a news story for TV5.  Yes, look for my smilin' face on the big screen!

Dana Mosher, Jeff MacDonald, and myself all talked about the I-95 CaPella-Thon that we'll be holding on air this coming Thursday and Friday, June 27 and 28th!  Paul Wolfe, Dorian Daniels and everyone here at I-95 will be collecting donations for Camp CaPella those two days!  We hope that you'll donate so that kids with physical and developmental disabilities can enjoy a week at this beautiful and wonderful camp!

The kids look forward to their Camp CaPella experience all winter!  The first day of camp this year is Monday, June 24th.  Dana, the director of the camp says that the first day of camp is the best day of his year, as he witnesses the smiles of the kids as they arrive.

Steve and Peggy LaVerdiere have graciously issued the "LaVerdiere $25,000 Challenge", if we collect $12,500, they'll match it, and it all goes to Camp CaPella!!

Then there's the I-95 Classic Drive and Charity Car Show, sponsored by Maine OXY on Saturday the 29th!  That morning ANY vehicle can join our "CaPella Caravan", as a police escort will lead us from Maine Oxy on Robertson Boulevard in Brewer, down Route 1A to Napa Auto Parts in Ellsworth!

THIS IS A LOT OF FUN!!!  Please join us!  Just show up at Maine OXY that Saturday morning, the line up is at 8:30 and the CaPella Caravan departs for Ellsworth at 9!

When we get to Napa we'll hold the Charity Car Show, The RetroRockerZ will perform, there will be a HUGE cook out and a big sale at Napa!

That Thursday and Friday  between 6am & 5pm, you can call us at 991-9713 to donate, you can also donate right here on this website, just look at the home page those two days!

We hope that you'll show your support for Camp CaPella, by donating, anything you can do, from however small to however big will put a smile on a child's face this summer!  Please mark your calendars.

It's all about the kids, and we all thank you!
