Dancin’ in the Street at Block Party
On Thursday October 10, 4-8 p.m., downtown
Rehoboth will hold its second annual Wilmington Avenue Block Party.
The event, which began as a local effort to assist the children who lost
parents last September 11 was so successful and so much fun, it is being
done again this year, with a more local focus.
Once again, Wilmington Avenue will host the finest restaurants and
businesses in Rehoboth and Lewes as they combine their efforts to help our
local children as well as those still in need from the attack on America.
There will be music, fun, fabulous food, and a great big neighborhood
celebration all along Wilmington Avenue. People from all over the community
will join forces to raise funds for Beebe Medical Center’s Family Life
Program to protect children from domestic violence, Rehoboth Beach Main
Street’s children’s programs, and the Families of Freedom Scholarship
Fund.
With the entire focus on helping children, this will be one fantastic family
event. Memories of last year’s block party are still vivid, with the
entire length of Wilmington Avenue bustling with people sampling the recipes
of some of our finest chefs, enjoying singers and bands on two different
stages, and participating in a host of other activities.
The shops and restaurants of Wilmington Avenue will be open, there will be
music in the streets and something for everyone. It will be a rain or shine
event and an excellent way for local residents to come together to help our
local youngsters.
Tickets are $35 per person, with children under 12 FREE. 100% of all ticket
sales and contributions will be donated directly to the Beebe children’s
program, the Scholarship Fund, and Rehoboth Beach Main Street.
You may order tickets in advance by calling Celsius Restaurant at
302-227-5767, or through Camp Rehoboth at 302-227-5620.

Women’s Leadership Retreat Meets in OC
Women lead in many different arenas—in
government, business, churches, communities, and families. A retreat,
scheduled for September 26-28 at the Dunes Manor Hotel in Ocean City,
Maryland, offers all women leaders an opportunity to get away from daily
stresses, explore their leadership potential with other women leaders in an
informal setting, and enhance their existing leadership skills.
Throughout the three-day retreat, a diverse group of women leaders will be
challenged to improve their skills while they enjoy a comfortable, relaxed
atmosphere beside the ocean. Through small group discussions, creative
activities, and real-life case studies, women leaders will examine the
dimensions of their leadership abilities. For more in-depth info on the
retreat call 301-434-2100 or email kfinnwb@starpower.net.
