First United held their inaugural Family Retreat at Camp Fircom for families from the Downtown Eastside on May 27-29, and urgently needed special donations for some of the children & parents such as rain jackets, sleeping bags, cameras, water bottles, etc., to make it all possible.

With the generous help of our member Frances Dobrzasnki, we purchased and donated cameras, film, water bottles, and flashlights for the families ($100 provided from the DC and $50 from Frances’ own pockets). Thanks, Frances!
