Haven’t each one of us at one time or another thought about what it
would take to build our dream house? Some of you more than likely have
built the house of your dreams, either here in Rehoboth or in some other
location, so you know what it takes. It takes holding on to your dream
and it takes a lot of planning to make it happen. All of us involved in
the CAMP Rehoboth Community Center Project have done lots of dreaming
and planning. From the Project Advisory Committee who spent time and
energy on how to make the Community Center dream a reality, to the
Founder’s Circle members who have supported the dream with their
contributions to the capital campaign, it has been a community effort.
When CAMP Rehoboth purchased the 39 Baltimore Avenue property this
past spring, obtaining the mortgage was just the first phase of the
expansion into a full-service Community Center. In order to have
adequate space in which people can easily interact and meet, CAMP will
begin working with an architectural firm to move us into the second
phase of development in which we’ll see expansion of the existing
buildings. As a visitor or part-time resident, imagine arriving in
Rehoboth on a Friday evening and picking up tickets for a weekend event
at the Community Center office, or maybe going to a Saturday evening
author’s reading there, or on Sunday, to an art exhibit. Or maybe you
live in Rehoboth and will become interested in a mentoring program, or
join a seminar on starting a business, or utilize the Center’s
resources available to you seven days a week in your own backyard.
You can be a part of taking this dream from an idea to a reality. We
need your continued contributions-large or small. Remember, with each
brick laid, we are closer to our goal. We’re not only asking for money
but for contributions to the vision of the Community Center. Like
building your own dream home, this, too, will be our dream together-our
Center, the Heart of the Community.
