Victory Junction Gang Camp

Do you want to do something this special for your summer vacation in 2009? Are you tired of the usual camping trips, antique roadshows, family re-unions? Do you feel the desire to reach out and help others?

I have great news for those of you who want to give back by doing something very special. Victory Junction Gang Camp one of Paul Newman's Hole In The Wall Camps that was founded by Kyle and Patti Petty after their son Adam died, has posted their summer schedule for 2009!

So, hop on over to this link and check out all the places you can volunteer for spring and summer. I guarantee you that you will not walk away the same as you walked into this place working with children who can be children in spite of their disease or disability.

You can't get away? Still want to help? For those readers who are crafty, who can sew or quilt, there are special requests for us to reach out and help. Your church or group can get together and raise $2500, they can pay for a child to go to camp.

They always need disposable items such as dixie cups, disposable small medicine cups, plastic cups, paper plates, cups, napkins.

So, race on over to Victory Junction Gang Camp and see where you can help!

Kyle Petty Singing

If any of you have followed any of my blogs, you will know my family are huge NASCAR fans. When we lived in Phoenix we lived less than 5 minutes from Phoenix International Racetrace, we had a vintage RV know affectionately as the 'Shaggon Wagon,' because that was painted on it when we bought it. It was an old primered up RV that we had begun to change to NASCAR.

The interior was entirely Tony Stewart, Kyle Petty & fishing scheme. You could find us out at the trace twice a year enjoying old friends, meeting new friends and attending the races. Out of everything that I miss the most about Phoenix, attending the races is the one that makes me cry!

I have supported Victory Junction Gang Camp with quilts when I could & even presented one to Kyle personally. He was so humble that I walked away with the most awesome feeling from his words and his huge smile.

I found this video on You Tube of Kyle singing the 'Belly Button Monster,' song for charity. It is too funny & just like Kyle and his beautiful wife Patty to do this!
