CAMP Project Advisory Committee Meeting
The CAMP Rehoboth Project Advisory Committee
will meet on Saturday, November 2, from 10 am to 12 noon at the CAMP
Rehoboth Community Center office at 39 Baltimore Avenue. The Advisory
Committee is open to anyone who would like to participate in the work of
CAMP Rehoboth.
“The Advisory Committee is the place where
ideas are born,” says CAMP Rehoboth President Murray Archibald. “It’s
a place for people to take part in the creative work and planning of CAMP
Rehoboth.” The CAMP Rehoboth Community Center Project, The Women’s
Project of CAMP Rehoboth, and the Millennium March Bus Trip, were all
created out of the work of the Project Advisory Committee. The Committee has
also helped to create a large group of dedicated volunteers.
The November meeting will focus primarily on
the continuing efforts of the Community Center Project and the Founder’s
Circle created to raise money for the Project. Discussions of CAMP-safe, The
Women’s Project, and next year’s events will be part of the agenda.
To have your name added to the Project
Advisory Committee mailing list, call Kathy Weir at CAMP Rehoboth,
302-227-5620, or just show up for the November meeting. All are welcome.
