2022 NOTE FROM METROPOLITAN & THE CHAIRMAN

To the Faithful Stewards and Friends of the Metropolis of Boston

Dear Friends,

Our annual Metropolis Golf Classic will be held on Tuesday, September 27th at the Indian Ridge Country Club, 72 Lovejoy Road in Andover, Massachusetts. As you know, this is the ONLY fundraiser that our Metropolis organizes to support our camping ministry which attracts hundreds of young people annually. Your generous support affords us the ability to offer scholarships to many campers who otherwise would not be able to attend.

This year, over 500 young people passed through MBC’s embrace, marking close to a 30% increase in camper registration from the previous year. Given COVID-19’s impact on the health and economic security of many people throughout New England, MBC saw a significant increase in the aid requested this year. This summer, 89 campers requested about $46,000 in aid, and thanks to your love for our program, MBC embraced every child who would otherwise be unable to attend due to financial barriers. While all campers are asked for $600 to register for camp, the true cost to host each camper for a week is just over double that number. Due to the pandemic protocols and the lack of state funding this year, MBC incurred an additional expense of roughly $75,000 for COVID-19 arrival testing, which caught close to a dozen positive cases allowing camp to finish smoothly with zero in-camp cases detected, as well as the rental of a large tent for outdoor meals and activities, and serval other related items.

We invite you to participate in the 22nd annual Metropolis Golf Classic as a player and/or as a sponsor. Please help ensure that our camping ministry continues to be available to all our youth.

On behalf of all the co-chairs of our annual Golf Classic, we look forward to seeing you on Tuesday, September 27th. We pray that you enjoy the rest of the summer and that you be the recipient of God’s grace always. 

With gratitude,

M E T H O D I O S
Metropolitan of Boston
