CAMP Rehoboth Women's Conference Weekend |
by Andrea Andrus |
Let the Extravaganza Begin! "Wherever groups of women make connections with other groups of women...we are affirming a network of change." Blanche Weisen Cook, writer One of the most spectacular networks of change this year will be the fourth annual CAMP Rehoboth Women's Conference Weekend from April 16-17. We've tried to cover all of the bases from laughter, to living life, to learning, to music of the heart. There is nothing more powerful than women coming together in a spirit of harmony and support. Women from as far away as Massachusetts, Ohio and Texas will join women from the Mid-Atlantic Region in a weekend of old and new friendships and fun times. The weekend will owe its success not only to the planners, but to the diverse group of women and male fans who attend the events; the workshop presenters who donate their time and energy; the many vendors whose programs and services may improve our lives; our fantastic volunteers who generously give their time and expertise; and our generous sponsors who support us and give back many times over. Throughout the weekend we will be selling raffle tickets for wonderful prizes provided by members of our business community. Remember, you have to play to win! We anticipate sellout crowds so reserve your place and come together with all of us for the best Women's Weekend ever! If you need accommodations, contact AmericInn (one of our conference sponsors) or the Seawitch Manor Inn & Spa (10% off to any of you who will be attending weekend events.) Women's Conference Weekend will kick off Friday, April 16 with a tea dance from 5-7 pm with DJ Sharon Messina at Cloud 9. Appetizers will be provided along with a cash bar and no cover charge. Comedy Central and HBO veteran, Suzanne Westenhoefer, will perform at 8 p.m. at the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center (site for the major events). Doors open at 7 p.m. (general seating and cash bar). Oh, almost forgot...there will be a surprise that evening so, don't sell yourself short...attend this event. From 10 p.m. to 1 p.m., there will be a post-event party (cash bar and no cover charge) at Cloud 9. For those of you who want to spend some quiet time with friends before or after the main evening event, visit our other sponsors, Blue Moon and Dos Locos or our newest sponsor, Jammin Joe's (mention the conference and receive a 10% discount on food and beverage.) You won't be disappointed wherever you go! On Saturday, April 17, from 8 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. at the Convention Center is our fourth annual Women's Conference on Financial, Health and Legal Issues. Pick up your attendee conference packets and then relax over continental breakfast provided by Pasqualini's Bakery, Starbucks Coffee Company and Wawa. Special treats also have been provided by Ibach's. You'll want to walk around and peruse the vendor tables for amazing products and services. Our keynote speaker, Melanie Mills, will energize us with her powerful message on the caring and feeding of your life with awareness, gratitude and grace. There will be two sessions (five workshops in each session) in the morning and one in the afternoon. A fabulous lunch will be provided by Queenz Quizine. During this time, we will have a surprise guest and announce door prize winners. Throughout the day, you'll have an opportunity to use your creativity by participating in an open heart process painting with Karen Barwick, a Creative Coach. You don't have to be a budding artist, just put yourself out there and try something new. At 3 p.m., we will announce more door prize winners and then Karen Barwick will take us through a closing group exercise focused on the group painting produced throughout the day. We hope that you'll leave the conference energized and peaceful. If you're energized, attend the tea dance at Cloud 9. If it is peace you want, round up some friends and visit one of our other sponsor locations. What better way to spend an evening after the Conference than listening to the music of Cris Williamson, appearing at 8 p.m. at the Convention Center. A living legend, Cris bridges the musical generation gap and delivers a wide range of stylescountry, rock, revivalist and simple ballads. As Bonnie Raitt puts it, "Cris's voice is like honey dripped on a cello." There is still one more surprise! Get ready to get up off your seats and raise your hands! After all that excitement, make your way to Blue Moon, Cloud 9, Jammin Joe's or Dos Locos (or all four) for a fun end to the weekend. We wish to thank our generous sponsors: AmericInn; Blue Moon; Bud Light; Cloud 9; Dos Locos; Dune Tunes; Jackie Goff; Jammin Joe's; Olivia Tours; Starbucks Coffee Company; Teresa "TC" Cason, Realtor, MBA, RE/MAX Realty Group-DRT; and Wawa. |
