Thanks for making Bar Mitzvah fundraiser a success

To the Editor:

We would like to take this opportunity to say thank you to the Newburyport community in supporting Jacob in his fundraising efforts in honor of his Bar Mitzvah. Jacobs decision to donate all his gift money to Global Camps Africa will make a difference in a lot of children's lives. The camp is located in South Africa, and they help children who are affected by AIDS. The donations from Jakes friends, their families and our neighbors totaled $2,063! Wow! Thank you!

In all, Jacob will send more than $7,573.00 to Global Camps Africa. If you would like more information about this wonderful organization or would like to donate, please go to the Web site at www.globalcampsafrica.org

Also, if anyone is missing a boys tie, I ended up with two extra!

Maureen, Andy and Jacob Gilbert

Newburyport
