Thank you for the delivery, Dane.

Dear RMHC of Central Ohio,

17 years ago, my family stayed at the Ronald McDonald House in Long Island for the first time. Although I was a baby, under a year old during the first stay, you provided a safe, welcoming home for us. My parents still talk about what a great experience it was to meet people from all over the world, to talk to the volunteers and the people who work for your wonderful Ronald McDonald houses.

My mom decided after that first trip to New York that she needed to organize all of the material from the doctors. Hence, the first folder was created. Over the years, as a part of our commitment to giving back, our family has provided hundreds of folders to families at the Ronald McDonald House in Portland, Oregon and in Sacramento, California. I decided as a tribute to the many houses where we have actually been guests (Cincinnati, Columbus, Long Island) that during my last year in high school we would also provide folders for families in those houses as well.

Please accept these 40 folders for your guests. Included in the folders are paper for notes, a plastic sheet protector to hold important papers, business card Holder, some coloring pages, and some stickers. Also included is a pen for each family, placing the pen inside the folder provided to be cumbersome for the packaging, so I would ask that you provide a pen with each folder to every family for me.

I was fortunate to be a guest in three different Ronald McDonald houses throughout the country. I know that staying there was a beneficial to me and also my parents, and my sister was even with us on one extended trip to Cincinnati. I want to thank you for giving me and all kids, a great start.

Very sincerely,

Dane Guthner
Rocklin, CA

Next month is a double special occasion here at the #cbusrmh: It’s our #rmhc chapter’s 39th anniversary and it’s the 15th anniversary of a very special #volunteer at our House! Lisa Frabott (in the photo wearing a face shield) started at our previous House and continued to volunteer when our current House was built in 2008! That’s why we’ve asked Lisa to co-host our next Virtual Trivia night, next Wednesday at 6p!

How do we thank such a giving volunteer? Dale is one of our #rmhc family who not only gives of his time, but gives financially too. In this case, taking part in our Adopt-a-Room program. We’re fortunate to have a group of volunteers that do this, even as the number of #cbusrmh #volunteers aren’t what they were before the pandemic. Thank you, Dale for continuing to come on your scheduled time at the House and, now, sponsoring a room in the House on behalf of your co-volunteers! 🥰 Our Adopt-a-Room program is for anybody, not just those who have a connection with our House in some way. If you’re interested in this or any of our giving programs, just click on Giving in the website (in our bio). #keepingfamiliesclose

One of the many opportunities to support the House is adopting a guest room.....so honored to be able to help in this way (and recognize all volunteers at the same time 👍).

We’re so grateful for #oubobcats supporting #cbusrmh. The #bobcathon students would usually be preparing for a dance marathon right now. But due to the pandemic, these students are fundraising #ftk by having an actual marathon where individual members will run in their favorite running spot to support our chapter. ♥️ You can support these students and help them get their goal of providing more than a thousand nights of rest for families staying at our House by going to BobCathon.org❗️ 🥰 #Repost @bobcathon with @get_repost

I met @nationwidekids patient @mackenzie__peyton from #alabama staying at #cbusrmh just before Thanksgiving and thought this must be really cold weather for her here in Columbus! Turns out, it’s been much colder with snow ❄️ down there lately. But I know how brave & strong she is! She’ll weather any storm just fine! ♥️🐾

Best of all, you’ll help keep families near their hospitalized children by helping them stay at our House or at one of our family rooms.
