Del Ray Bake Sale Benefits Haiti and Doctors without Borders

By
Real Estate Agent with Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage - ABR - SRES

Out of the mouth of babes - four to be exact - came the idea for a Del Ray Bake Sale to benefit Haiti and Doctors without Borders.  Led by Skylar (8) and Rain (6) Camerlinck and Mein (10) and Phoebe (8) LaMountain, the effort raised $1, 216.17. 

How could anyone resist this announcement?

As adults we are so aware of being good role models and this is a perfect example of how it should work. Joe LaMountain and his wife are very active in the community and Tim Camerlinck works for Greenpeace.  Helping others is obviously part of the DNA here.

Special thanks to Jackie Camerlinck who worked with Phoebe, Mein, Skylar and Rain to collect, bag and price all the goodies.  Thanks to the friends, families and citizens of Del Ray who donated and bought baked goods.

Just another reason why Del Ray is a very special place to live.  Want to know more?  Call me at 703.927.4554.

Hi Michael ~ What a wonderful effort - and quite successful. I love how you highlight the local kids and their concerns - I remember your Girl Scout cookie salesperson too.

Just wonderful what these kids did. I remember going door to door collecting money for Biafran refugees when I was ten or eleven. Then I wrote to Ted Kennedy asking for an organization to donate the money to.  His reply is in my scrapbook.

Elizabeth - I think kids come to this kind of effort with such an open heart that it softens even the crustiest of of old souls.  And I would have expected no less of the Senator.

It does make the future look good doesn;t it?  I thought they certainly deserved a little internet "fame".

How perfect is that. Kids who understand the value of lending a helping hand to others in need.  Glad to see their bake sale was successful and I'm sure this group will go far in life.

Cindy - Agreed.  I give a lot of credit to the parents too, they were willing to support this idea and yet didn't 'take it over'.  I imagine this won't be the last we see of this group.
