LETTERS From CAMP Rehoboth |
Speak Out |
This past November I had the opportunity to revisit the tragedy that occurred in Laramie, Wyoming. This thoughtful and provocative play was brought to the area by Rebecca Craft. Her direction was moving, and brought tears to the eyes of many in the audience.
This play touched not only my life, but many of the other attendees present. May I once again say thank you to CAMP Rehoboth for supporting and providing an outlet for work such as this. John Sayres I finally picked up the last issue of Letters a couple of days ago and didn't begin reading it until last night. I want to thank you for the positive comments about the Film Festival in the article CAMP Matters by Murray Archibald. When I was a business owner, I use to marvel at the camaraderie that evolved during this event when complete strangers would begin discussing films while waiting in line or while eating their breakfast. As a volunteer I was engulfed in the enthusiasm shared by all the volunteers, both rookies and veterans. As a staff member, I am amazed each year at the amount of support the community gives to make this event happen. The production of this event is comprised of many layers all linked by the common denominators of enthusiasm and generosity. Participating in this event makes me very happy to be a part of the Rehoboth community. Thanks again for all of CAMP's support, from the organization and each of the employees. Sue Early Rehoboth Beach Film Society I live in Lewes and am currently the President-Elect for the State of Delaware American Association of University Women. I am looking to form the state offices and would like some lesbian representation on my board. The only requirement in our organization is a four year degree in a college or university. This organization came out in support of HB #99 last year. Annual membership in the Georgetown chapter of AAUW is $41. I don't believe there are any open lesbians within the whole Delaware organization. Our national magazine has had articles written by lesbian members and one of the books promoted on the national level is Heather Has Two Mommies. Also at the AAUW National Convention last June in Providence, Rhode Island there was a lesbian caucus. Gloria Steinem was our main speaker. Could you pass the word on to anyone who may be interested? I may be contacted by e-mail at bmullin@nac.net. Barbara Mullin On behalf of Rehoboth Beach Main Street, I would like to thank CAMP Rehoboth for all of your help getting the desserts for the annual Community Unity Dinner. Your team of elves serving the dessert made the whole event more festive! In addition, we would like to thank Murray Archibald for his assistance with the entertainment! His balloon animals were wonderful. Since there was a lack of children due to the rescheduling of the Lewes parade, we did see a number of adults wearing animal hats. Thank you for all of your help and your continued support of the Main Street program. Many exciting things are happening with the program and downtown Rehoboth Beach. It is the continued support of local homeowners and businesses which make it possible. Again, thank you for your dessert donations and all you do to support us. Kathi Townsend Rehoboth Beach Main Street The enclosed check represents the third quarter Royalty Disbursement from the Rehoboth Beach Credit Card program. To date, the card programs have raised almost $11,000 benefiting 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 9 royalty disbursements for the Rehoboth Card program and we are excited about the future. Encourage those who care about CAMP Rehoboth, and Rehoboth Beach in general, to apply for the card. Make sure all CAMP supporters are aware that each time they use the card, donations are made that directly benefit CAMP! We have enjoyed creating this program for Rehoboth Beach and we are happy to have CAMP Rehoboth as a beneficiary. Have a great holiday and we look forward to continuing our support for your wonderful organization. Chip Thompson and Tim Green Atlantic Horizons, LLC |
