Moving Into 2012

The Name Change is official. We are now the Robert V. and Benjamin G. Miller Fund. We invite you to read about this change in the Holiday TrailWays. There will be numerous changes to the website over the next several months to reflect this very exciting change that brings Benjamin into "Our Story" and lays a pathway for a secure future in providing camping experiences for adults with disabilities. We invite your questions, ideas and input as we keep on rolling forward! There will be a full camp schedule in Austin this year so we really want to extend an extra special "thank you" for being a friend and supporter during the Holiday Campaign.

If you are able, and can consider a financial gift to support the camping and social connection experiences we will be providing through the Fund, we will so very grateful. We know these are difficult times economically and we appreciate every communication of support--whether it be ideas, questions, volunteer activities, financial contributions, photos--all are appreciated. We have been asked by several potential contributors about administrative expenses. We have none BECAUSE every administrative activity is done by volunteers. Every donated dollar is used entirely for providing qualified staff, program supplies and a safe, secure camping environment for the campers.

We are glad you can join us for the 2012 adventure.

The Robert V. Miller has two fundraising campaigns each year.

The "I AM SPECIAL" Disability Challenge is initiated in July (the month of Robert's birthday) and runs up to mid August. This campaign provides individuals, clubs, organizations, churches and friends the opportunity to celebrate our lives while raising funds so low income campers can celebrate their lives in an atmosphere of Fun, Friends and Support. The campaign concludes with a birthday party for any and all who have participated.

The Holiday Campaign begins in early November and extends to mid February. This is an online and/or U.S. mail direct solicitation for contributions to support low income campers. Individuals can also contribute based on their own schedules, timetables and circumstances at any time.

The Robert V. Miller Fund is located at the Austin Community Foundation. This relationship assures financial accountability to donors and IRS compliance. Learn more about the Foundation and opportunities to contribute.

Financial contributions to the Robert V. Miller Fund can be mailed to the Austin Community Foundation/Robert V. Miller Fund, 4315 Guadalupe, Suite 300, Austin, Texas 78751 OR DONATE NOW. The Foundation's website is www.austincommunityfoundation.org. We invite you to learn about this important community organization and its role in Central Texas.

There have been so many friends, volunteers, camp staff, in-kind contributors.....We ask your forgiveness if you are not in this listing. Know that you are held in our hearts, and that we deeply appreciate all you have done to give hundreds of campers fun, friends, and support.

CELEBRATIONS!

Robert had a very special relationship with his Grandpa Miller.

This year we celebrated the 100th birthday of Lewis T. Miller.

His entire family gathered in Maryland to sing with

joy. We are certain Robert was there. Mr. Miller, Tom and Fran

Miller, and Kathy and Terry Paramore have been donors and

supporters of the Robert V. Miller Fund for six years.

Congratulations Dad and a big thank you to the

Lewis T. Miller Family! We can't wait to celebrate 101!
