amarack Camps kicked off its 109th summer with
its fourth Annual Tamarack Family Fun Day. A
record 1,700 campers, parents, family members
and friends gathered at Camp Maas in Ortonville on June
26 for a day of sun and fun. All camp activity areas were
open and staffed by 2011 Camp Maas staff members.
Many attendees expressed how beautiful the camp's
grounds looked and how friendly Tamarack staff and board
members greeted them.
Linda Ishbia, Tamarack board member, said,
"Everywhere I was in camp, I saw smiles. Parents, grand-
parents, campers, siblings and camp staff all soaked up the
special atmosphere of our beloved campgrounds. It was a
picture-perfect day. I give Tamarack Camps applause and a
standing ovation."

fundraising efforts.
N
early 200 donors and sup-
porters came to Henry Ford
Hospital in Detroit to celebrate
the success of the ongoing Envision
Campaign, a $250-million, seven-year
fundraising campaign. Henry Ford
Health System has already received more
than 45 gifts of $1 million or more from
donors and its employees, raising $176
million, more than 70 percent of the
campaign goal.
Interactive displays showed the guests
how their donations are being used,
including medical mannequins from the
Center for Simulation, Education and
Research; a neonatal intensive care unit;
an interoperative MRI that shows sur-
geons whether a brain tumor has been
completely removed; Health Alliance for
Neighborhood Kids (HANK), a pediatric
mobile medical clinic; and a demonstra-
tion of wrist catheterization. [i]
