LETTERS From CAMP Rehoboth |
SPEAK Out |
"Ladies 2000" would like to thank the entire community of Rehoboth for making us feel so welcome this Summer.
The overwhelming response to our "Wine Women and Song" event was so touching. We can't begin to list the names of the over 30 people who made this party possible. They worked so hard for days before the party and for days afterwards. It was an unbelievable turnout and the crowd was so very friendly. We hope they had an unforgettable time. What a beautiful crowd we had for the Memorial Day event. Peggy Raley is an energetic, innovative and warm person and such a joy to work with. We LOVE you, Peg! As with every major event like this, there are always a few quirks and we are working to iron out the wrinkles so to speak. We'll continue to "tweak" and each party will be better than the one before it. A portion of the proceeds from the Memorial Day and 2nd of July events will go to the CAMP Rehoboth Community Center building fund. The Labor Day event will benefit The Mautner Project for women's health issues in Washington, DC. Many women didn't know that the party went until 11 p.m. so, spread the word that the next two will also run that long. DJ Joe Proke from Philly will be at the tables for the IndepenDANCE party on Saturday, July 2nd. There'll be lots of beautiful "Ladies" bartenders and many familiar faces from the Rehoboth area. Handicapped parking available with proper documentation. Casts, wheelchairs and crutches will do as well. Thanks to the gang at CAMP Rehoboth for all of their support. We can't wait 'till Saturday, July 2nd. Again, we thank you from the bottom of our hearts. Diane Lusk Betty Costanza and the entire staff of "Ladies 2000" Save Our Lake Alliance 3 (SOLA3) will sponsor a Silver Lake Cleanup on June 25 from 9 a.m. to noon. Come help remove debris from both the lake and lakeside. All are welcome. We will meet at 9 a.m. at the bird sanctuary sign on Silver Lake Drive. Lunch will be provided. For more information, call Mark Aguirre at 302-227-5217. If you re interested in being a SOLA3 member, contact us at saveourlakes@aol.com. SOLA3 is a nonprofit organization that works with communities, citizens, government, businesses and other organizations to: educate the public about the history and value of Lake Gerar, Silver Lake and Lake Comegys; promote practices that will improve the quality of the lakes' waters and benefit resident wildlife; advocate policies that will protect and enhance these lakes; research the quality of water, plant and wildlife; and inventory the plants and species found in and around these lakes. On May 13, 2004, the Delaware Senate and House of Representatives passed concurrent resolution No. 37, cosponsored by Senator George Bunting and Rep. Pete Schwartzkopf. The resolution recognizes the unique character of the "Rehoboth Lakes" as the only fresh water lakes in Delaware; that they add to the rich diversity of the region in enumerable ways; are integral to the ambiance of Rehoboth Beach; and are natural treasurers to Delaware and the United States. Mark Aguirre We're pleased to present the fourth quarter royalty disbursement for the Rehoboth Beach Credit Card program. To date, the card programs have raised more that $17,000 benefitting the Rehoboth Beach community through CAMP Rehoboth, the Delaware Center for Inland Bays, and Rehoboth Beach Main Street. Atlantic Horizons has made a total of 14 royalty disbursements for the Rehoboth Card program and we are excited about the future. Your active involvement will ensure that the dollar amount donated each quarter will continue to increase. This could mean thousands of dollars each year for CAMP Rehoboth, so please encourage members, staff and friends of CAMP Rehoboth to use their cards! We have enjoyed creating this program for Rehoboth Beach and we are happy to have CAMP Rehoboth as a beneficiary. Have a great summer and we look forward to continuing our support for your wonderful organization.
