CAMP Rehoboth Women's Project 

Movies, parties, barbecues and days at the beach—the summer of ’03 is coming to a close. Unlike the days of old, Rehoboth is no longer a one-season town. The meters may come down and Route 1 may become bearable but anyone who knows this town knows that CAMP Rehoboth will continue at full steam.

The Women’s Project has had a great summer of forging new relationships with Washington’s Mautner Project and our own Rehoboth Beach Film Society. You already know about or may have attended the successful event that we hosted with the Mautner Project on August 2. By the time you’re reading this article, the Women’s Project and the Rehoboth Beach Film Society will have presented the exciting, award-winning documentary, No Secret Anymore: The Times of Del Martin and Phyllis Lyon, to a sold-out crowd at the Midway Theater. This is our first opportunity to have an event together and we are already excited about future collaborations. Many thanks to Queenz Quizine who always does an outstanding job of providing great food and to all of you who attended the event and showed your support.

Our Women’s Project Golf League also has been a tremendous way this summer for women to meet other women and be able to play 18 holes. We’ve heard that the 19th hole is great, too! They continue to gather on Wednesdays at 3:30 p.m. at the Marsh Island Golf Club in Lewes. So get out there and enjoy the nice days and even nicer women on the links.

Now let’s move on to the fall. On September 20, 2003, the Women’s Project will host a table at the Mautner Project Gala in Washington, DC. This year’s emcee of the event, Suzanne Westenhoefer, is fresh off of a tour of Rehoboth at our last Women’s Conference weekend.

CAMP Rehoboth has been a long-time supporter of the Mautner Project and this year is no exception. In addition to hosting a table, CAMP has donated two items for their silent auction—a set of Murray Archibald’s Sundance prints and a basketful of cool CAMP stuff. So, if you’re going to attend the gala, you may want to get your bids in on these two items. It’s always a fun event and the gowns and tuxedoes make for great cruising. We’ll see you there!

We have begun discussions on an art show in the fall for women artists. Artist extraordinaire, Murray Archibald, has generously agreed to work with us on this event. It will be held at the CAMP Community Center and courtyard. Watch for more news on this premier event in future issues of Letters.

Preparations will begin soon for our 2004 Women’s Conference. We will be looking for ideas and helping hands to pull it altogether for next April’s Women’s Conference Weekend. Like we did in 2003, we will be looking for new topics and fresh ideas to entice all of you to keep coming back year after year. This will definitely be a "not to miss" event and weekend.
