Yes, the CAMP Rehoboth Women’s Project is
on the move, and it promises to be an exciting year. We are very busy
this winter working on our planned events, brainstorming new events, and
developing programs to meet the needs of the women in our community. We
were astounded at the number of women (and our staunch male supporter,
Gene Dvornick) who attended our very successful Volunteer “Meet and
Greet” Party held at the CAMP office in January. The comments and
feedback were tremendous and will help us as we move forward. Our
subcommittees on Finance and Marketing, Fundraising and Special Events,
Health Education and Services, Outreach, Volunteers, and the Women’s
Conference will benefit from the involvement of many attendees who
expressed interest in one or more of the committees.
Also in January, we held our first health
education and screening session at the CAMP Office on “Smoking
Cessation.” The “Bone Density “ screening February 1, was very
well attended and  provided much needed education and information. The
next session, “Blood Pressure” screening will take place at the CAMP
office on Saturday, February 22 from 10 a.m.-12 p.m. We hope to see you
there!
Planning for our third annual Women’s
Conference on Health, Financial and Legal issues is well underway. We
have made this truly a women’s weekend by scheduling events from
Friday evening through Sunday afternoon. Suzanne Westenhoefer, a
nationally known comedienne who has appeared frequently on HBO, will
appear on Friday, April 11, at 8:00 p.m. On Saturday, April 12, from
8:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., the Women’s Conference will be held at the
Rehoboth Beach Convention Center. From educational and informative
sessions on health, financial and legal matters to more diverse and fun
workshops, such as “Tool Time 101” and “Swing Dance,” there will
be something of interest for everyone. On Saturday evening, Olivia
recording artists, Barbara Higbie and Teresa Trull, will perform at 8
p.m. We made every attempt to keep ticket prices at an affordable rate
to provide an opportunity for everyone in our community to attend. Join
us for a relaxing Sunday brunch at Celsius Restaurant after a whirlwind
weekend of workshops and entertainment. Come celebrate with the
Women’s Project!
Openings for vendor tables at
Saturday’s conference are going fast. If you are interested in hosting
a display table at the event, please call us at CAMP Rehoboth or stop by
to pick up an application form. Vendor tables (6 foot) are available for
$25 or at no charge for non-profit organizations.
We would like to thank all of our
dedicated volunteers who have contributed to the success of the
Women’s Project since our beginning. Also, we want to thank Girls’
Beach Productions for their generous donation to the Women’s Project
as a result of their successful New Year’s Eve Starburst Gayla event.
Look for information on upcoming events
hosted by the CAMP Rehoboth Women’s Project. There is sure to be
something for everyone.
