To our UniStar community,

David Bach & Vaughn Asselstine

    Year after year, for decades, we've all heard and told stories of the people who created Camp UniStar: the Andersons, who gave us the facilities, Alicia Clagett who had the vision of a family camp, and the founding families who worked hard to put it all together. These people took a lodge and five cabins on an island in northern Minnesota and turned it into a place where thousands of us have found community. Now it's our chance to live the stories our children will tell and create the future for Camp UniStar.

    Each one of us believes that UniStar is our own special place, but we probably haven't thought of it as a place that needs a lot of money. It's rustic with free-roaming mice, old nails for clothes hooks, and spidery showers. Because we have a volunteer management committee, the modest fees we pay cover the costs of running Camp each summer. In other times it needed start-up vision, it needed paint and repairs, it needed care we could lovingly give in our spare time. Now it needs more, approximately $500,000 more! UniStar needs a new kitchen.

    Please take some time to think about what UniStar means to you and your family and consider carefully what you can contribute. Every gift is important, no matter the size. Be generous within your means in the spirit of Camp UniStar which has been so generous to us all. What we give back to any community is the real measure of what that community has meant to us. Let's all hear the "Call of the Conch" and give as we have received.

Thank you,
Vaughn Asselstine & David Bach
