In Brief

Join CAMP In Kids Christmas Drive

The Holidays are coming, and with them come the cold temperatures of winter. The Delaware State Housing Authority has asked CAMP Rehoboth to once again help them come up with gifts for the 150 children under the age of 12 who live in Burton Village here in Rehoboth.

This year the priority is to provide each child with a brand new hat and gloves/mittens. Can you help? New hats, gloves and mittens can be dropped off at CAMP Rehoboth, 37 Baltimore Ave. We will wrap them, and deliver them to Burton Village in time for their community Christmas Party.

If you have any questions, please call Kathy at CAMP Rehoboth, 302-227-5620. Let’s do what we can to keep these kids warm this winter.

Plans in Place for 2006 Starburst Gayla at Rehoboth Beach Convention Center

"The theme is ‘Puttin’ on the Ritz’ and it will be an elegant evening of dancing, cocktails and desserts," said Cathin Bishop. Don’t let the elegant part deter you, however, because at this popular New Year’s Eve women’s dance you’ll see people attired in everything from jeans to cocktail dresses to tuxedos. The dance music will be great, with plenty of places to sit and catch up with friends—old and new.
