You will not want to miss one
of the most fabulous events of the year! The date of the third Black and
White (and red all over) Beach Ball is quickly approaching and tickets
sell out fast. The Beach Ball Committee has been working overtime to
insure that this year’s event on May 31, 2003 from 5 to 8 p.m. will be
the best ever. From decorations, to entertainment, to the HeART of the
community Art Auction, we have worked to create an affair that is
casual, electrifying, fun and informative. Taking place in the wonderful
Atlantic Sands Hotel’s ballroom with a great ocean view, everyone who
attends will enjoy delightful cocktails, hors d’oeuvres, and a vocal
performance by the popular Peggy Raley.
During the evening, we
will honor all of our Founders’ Circle members and supporters who
believe in our dream to expand CAMP Rehoboth into a full-service
community center that symbolizes our strength and unity. Our 154
Founders’ Circle members have pledged over $371,600 to date to our
five-year Capital Campaign to raise $1,000,000. Through their
generosity, we feel confident about the future. You also will have an
opportunity to learn more about the Founders’ Circle Capital Campaign
and our vision for the future of a full-service Community Center. Robert
Hotes, the Project Manager representing DPK&A Architects, our newly
chosen architectural firm who will help us plan the renovations to our
39 Baltimore Avenue home, will attend the event and take this
opportunity to meet all of our wonderful supporters. Rounding out the
evening will be the fast moving and entertaining HeART of the Community
Art Auction with the dynamic Chris Riss as auctioneer. Attendees will
have the chance to purchase creative works of art that are the
artists’ interpretation of “summer love.” It’s a great
opportunity to purchase a wonderful work of art and give back to your
community. With such a jam-packed evening, there will certainly be
something that appeals to everyone.
It is our hope that
those of you who attend the event, who are not yet Founders’ Circle
members, will join at some level of giving to help us further energize
our Capital Campaign. All you have to do is complete the Founders’
Circle pledge form included in this issue of Letters and send it to the
CAMP office. A copy of the Founders’ Circle brochure, providing
detailed information about the Founders’ Circle and its membership
levels, is available by contacting us. CAMP Rehoboth is a 501(c)3
organization and all contributions are tax deductible to the fullest
extent of the law. Gifts may be paid in cash, securities, or other
property, including real estate. Pledge payments can be made annually,
quarterly or monthly by check or credit card. Please contact us if you
wish to make a bequest. Additionally, when you join as a member, you
will receive unique Community Center gift(s) and your name will forever
become part of the CAMP Rehoboth Community Center. Your name or the name
of a loved one will be permanently inscribed in our official Founders’
Circle records. Depending on the membership level, names will be
inscribed on a brick, a tile, a door or a room. For those of you who
join at the highest level of “Founder,” we will ensure that all of
your names, or the names of a loved one, receive the highest level of
recognition. As the Community Center design unfolds, our architect will
explore the most meaningful way to achieve such recognition. Should the
design entail an open space environment or only a limited number of
rooms, then an inspiring and artistic concept will be created that
dramatically honors all those who have been so generous to contribute at
the highest level of “Founder.”
If
you are already a member, consider upgrading your membership to a higher
level or giving a gift of membership to a friend or family member. Or
ask your friends and family members to join themselves as members and
become part of our community effort to promote cooperation and
understanding among all people. Having just been voted as the
“Favorite GLBT Community Service Organization” by GayDelaware.com
readers, you will be investing in an organization that continues to be a
shining star. As we cut the yellow ribbon on that evening, signifying
that we are entering our third year of the Capital Campaign, we need the
support of each and every one of you to help us keep the dream alive.
So, join us on the magical evening of May 31st for an evening of
celebration, entertainment and pride.
