Over the last few weeks, we have received numerous books. We want to thank you all for sharing. Our friends, Lance and Ulrika Belline, collected books at their Christmas party. It was very special to us and there were over 75 books collected!
We also want to thank Rod and Casey Roark and their precious baby twin boys! They contributed a great bunch of books for Christmas.
Thanks as well to Alison Brashears and her family for their continued support of our bookclub. The Brashears family contributes books throughout the year, with another great bundle at Christmas.  Our wonderful family including GrAnn-Ma and Grandpa, Aunt Louann and cousins– Ryan and Rachel, Uncle Chris and Aunt Catherine and cousins Graham and Caroline and Aunt Frances and Uncle Jimmy all included books for Cameron for Christmas!!! 

I would like to thank my cousin, Alicia and the Haley crew,  as well as my my good friend Cherry Frierson, for contributing books for Cameron’s Heaven Day.  And some other great friends from here in town, the Weller’s helped out with a HUGE box of great books just last week.

What a blessing to have these wonderful friends who help us continue to make a difference in our daughter’s name!

We want to extend our sincere thanks to the Guajardo family from North Little Rock, AR.  It was such a blessing to receive the shipment of books from you guys.  I hope that you enjoyed picking out the books as a family and I assure you some children will be very blessed to read them.  Your gift to us has helped us to feel loved and special.  The sweet letter truly brought tears to my eyes.  Thanks again for thinking of us and helping others.  Love, Susan and the Bobbitt family

Books were sent to First United Methodist  (Harrison), Family Violence Prevention

(Batesville), Open Arms (Lonoke),  The Wade Knox Child Advocacy Center (Lonoke)

and A Bookcase for Every Child in Hot Springs.

Our family is so grateful to the community of McAlester Oklahoma for the book drive this spring. We were presented with a large quantity of fabulous books by Heather Horton, our friend and a pre-school teacher at Jefferson in McAlester. We appreciate you!
Also, I would like to thank the Cannant family for the great books. It was great to see you all.
I express my sincere thanks to my brother and sister-in-law who always make me feel loved and cared for. The books are great. Thanks also to Cherry and the Scholtens for your contributions and continued support. Chris and Jay, Derrick had a great time and is so pleased to have been able to have the golf tourney in Mt. Home this year. You were both wonderful hosts and I know a great time was had by all.
Mom and Dad, just know that every moment and every effort behind the scenes and by our sides means the world. We couldn’t ask for a more supportive set of parents. I am just in awe of your love and constant ability to stand by us!
Angela, you have been a truly amazing friend and I thank you for keeping me afloat! You have single handedly helped me maintain my connections to McAlester. I know how much work went in to planning and pulling off that party. Thank you so much!
Angie and Emory, thanks for opening up your home to us and all the crowd. The party was a huge success and we felt so loved and remembered! You guys are the best.  Ren, you went above and beyond buying everyone’s dinner at Chef Billy’s.  We love that place.  I miss you!

We just played our annual golf tournament and raised over $1300. I would like to thank all who donated. Darren Bobbitt, Bud Brock, Shawn Fecher, kevin Keith, Rob Berry, Michael Berry, Jeremy Price, Eric Ardoin, Bobby Shumate, Rusty Compton, and Andy Beirnat. Thanks also to Hugg & Hall equipment and Tony & Francine Childers for their financial donations. There were a couple of guys who couldn’t make this years tournament but have donated every year, they are Woody Harrelson, Chris O’dwyer, and John Harrison. I appreciate all my friends for their time and efforts. You guys have always been there for me and I hope to return the favor someday. Derrick Bobbitt.

We got a wonderful shipment of great books from our friends, the Sealy’s. They currently reside in Washington, D.C. but will be moving to Alabama soon!! They were our next door neighbors in McAlester. They have 3 girls and the older 2 were some of Cameron’s first friends! She loved playing with you two!
I want to thank Emma Cate Adams from Franklin, TN. So good to see you guys and thanks for the load of books. Looking forward to seeing you guys next week when I visit Carrie.
My best friend had a little baby girl last month and I get to go meet Ms. Chloe Grace in about 10 days. Can’t wait to see the little angel!
We recently made some new friends, the Hapgoods and the Wagstaffs, here in Fayetteville. They dropped a parcel of books on the doorstep a couple of weeks back. They knocked and ran! It was so funny. Thanks, guys.
Also, some relatives have contributed great books in the past month. I received a nice batch from my cousin Jill. I am so happy for Jill in her new upcoming role in life. Also, my Aunt Dottie, who teaches 2nd grade. Thanks for the Scholastic order! That is a great way to donate books.
Another 2nd grade teacher that I haven’t met but who heard about us from her relative (and our friend) also did a Scholastic order to donate books. Her name is Bette Winegar. We really appreciate you doing that for us in honor of your daughter’s birthday.
I am looking forward to a trip to McAlester next month and gathering the books from their annual book drive. That is spearheaded by our friend Heather Horton. She teaches preschool at Jefferson Elementary.
We received 2, $100 dontations to the Cameron Averitt Bobbitt Memorial Fund. These were from our dear friends Lee and Jennifer Johnson, and Mike and Rebecca Swan. These parents all know about challenges and pain, and we truly appreciate you remembering us and Cameron.

We have been so blessed lately with the reciept of several loads of books. Our friend, Scott Harris, at Game On Promotions in Fayetteville got his co-workers to collect books in February. Yesterday Derrick and I went over and picked them up. There were so many nice children’ books that we can now pass on to others!
Little Jack Baldwin of Springdale collected quite a few books at his 3rd birthday party. What a wonderful little boy to forfeit gifts for himself to donate books for children who need them more. Thank you so much!
Also, thanks to my patients Rylee Youngblood and Kaitlyn Clifton who drive in from Oklahoma just to see me. You guys make my day. Thank you for bringing me books today. I appreciate you always remembering Cameron!
Derrick packaged up 5 parcels of books today with all these generous donations. These went to St. Francis House in Springdale, Benton Co. Women’s Shelter, Family Network in Springdale, Kids First in Fort Smith and Peace at Home Family Shelter in Fayetteville. These lucky children appreciate your donations. We feel so blessed to be able to make these book donations in memory of our precious daughter. Your generosity makes our mission possible. With love, The Bobbitts

Tim and Natalie Carr of Nashville, TN supported the CAB Memorial Fund with a generous donation. We are so grateful for the love and continued support of our wonderful friends. Thanks again, guys!
We love ya!

Thanks to Lisa Garvin, Lee Anne Bryan, and Leigh Ann Travis who made holiday donations to the Cameron Bobbitt Memorial Fund. As a reminder, this endowment supports charities that benefit children and families. Our mission is to help other kids in Cameron’s name. These women are filled with (Delta) love!! Thanks, ladies! I miss you.

I met some new friends on my 3 day, 60 mile walk in Dallas.  Pam Dewey actually works for Hit Home Entertainment.  They own Barney!!  She sent me a box of about 70 Barney books as well as some beautiful Angelina Ballerina book marks.  I am already putting them to good use at the clinic and Derrick has mailed some shipments to some shelters.

I also received a box of books from some old friends– Greg and Amy Whorton from Hot Springs.  Their book club collected books for us.  We got some really great ones– chapter books that can be for older kids.

Our latest donations have gone out to Cherished Heart Beat in Heber Springs, River Valley Shelter for Battered Women and Children,  and Children’s Emergency Shelter– Fort Smith.  I have also taken a replenishment to the Children’s Clinic at Willow Creek.  I have moved to a new building and needed some new books for my patients.  If anyone ever runs across books in Spanish, I would love to have some.  Gracias!!
