LETTERS From CAMP Rehoboth

In Brief

Rehoboth Adventuring Group Bike Ride - Sat., Oct. 1 10:30 a.m.

Indian River "Double Cross": Enjoy camaraderie, scenery, and good exercise on a 50 mile trek beginning and ending at CAMP Rehoboth. Riding at a civilized 12-15 mph pace, we pass through Dewey Beach, Bethany Beach, and Fenwick Island, then turn inland to return to Rehoboth Beach via Dagsboro, Millsboro (lunch stop) and Angola. If 50 miles sounds far, remember, it's Delaware, so it's all flat!

For more info and to sign up, contact Craig at beachres@att.net.


Cruise with CAMP Rehoboth

Don't despair! Labor Day may be over but there can be a beach in your future. CAMP Rehoboth has partnered with RSVP Vacations and Coastal Cruise Club to provide a cruise from Fort Lauderdale to the Yucatan with a stop in Key West just in time for Mardi Gras. The ship, Holland America's ms Westerdam, will depart from Fort Lauderdale on Feb. 26 and return on Mar. 4, 2006. Staterooms start at $1,145 per person.

If you don't know RSVP Vacations already, check them out at www.rsvpvacations.com. They are a leader in gay and lesbian travel. Also, check out the ship they have chosen for this adventure. Holland America's ms Westerdam can be viewed at hollandamerica.com. You won't be disappointed in this five-star ship. Holland America Line offers the most extensive menus at sea plus lounges, pool, casino and spacious staterooms. By the way, this cruise will offer ASL interpreted events.

Talk to your partner, call your friends, and give Chet Elder at Coastal Cruise Club a call at 302-537-2986. He is looking forward to working with you to be sure your experience is simply fabulous!

The great news for CAMP Rehoboth is that the Founders' Circle will receive a total of at least $250 from RSVP and Coastal Cruise Club for each stateroom booked exclusively through Coastal Cruise Club. If we exceed 20 staterooms booked, we will receive a $1,000 bonus from RSVP.

Remember, call soon for the early booking rate. If you are planning the cruise with friends, let Chet know. He'll get you on the same deck or in adjacent staterooms, if that is your preference.


Epworth Breakfast for Christmas Joy

On Sunday, September 25 from 9 a.m.-noon, Epworth United Methodist Church will host a breakfast to benefit Christmas Joy, a program which provides gifts and food to needy area families during the holiday season. Last year Epworth helped over 90 families have a Merry Christmas.

Breakfast is $6 for adults, $2.50 for 6-12 year olds, and free for children 5 and under. Included in this delicious breakfast are pancakes, sausage, and coffee. Fees collected help fund Christmas Joy.

Epworth is located at 20 Baltimore Avenue. Pre-registration is not required, and all are welcome.


Cabaret at Atlantic Sands Hotel

Henlopen Theater Project and CAMP Rehoboth have teamed up to present Lost in his Arms a new cabaret entertainment by Ken Skrzesz and Doug Yetter at the Atlantic Sands Hotel on Fri. and Sat., Sept. 23-24. Dinner is included in the ticket price of $50. Seating is limited. A buffet style dinner will be served from 6:30 p.m. each night and the show will start at 8 p.m.

The concert will feature songs from the Broadway repertoire of gay composers like Stephen Sondheim, Cole Porter and William Finn. Ken Skrzesz and Doug Yetter, who both now live in Rehoboth Beach, are the creative partnership behind Clear Space Productions. They have worked together and separately for several years in musical theater with Ken performing in over 20 different professional roles and directing or choreographing more than 50 musicals and operas. Doug, meanwhile, has been in the musical theater business for 30 years as pianist, director, conductor, arranger, orchestrator, and composer for hundreds of theaters across the country.

The concert takes a fresh look at some individual classics like Can't Help Lovin' That Man, Old Fashioned Wedding, I'd Rather Be Sailing, (I'm in Love With) A Wonderful Guy, and, of course, I Got Lost in His Arms. There will also be tributes to Judy Garland. The idea for the concert came about in Baltimore when Ken and Doug were playing at cabarets there. "Occasionally we would take a love song about a man that audiences are used to hearing sung by a woman, and sing it from a man's perspective. For instance, Not A Day Goes By is heartbreaking when sung by a woman about her relationship with a man. It is profoundly different when sung by a man about another man. That simple shift of emphasis can deepen the meaning and certainly the audience truly enjoyed it," said Ken. "We have also included several duets that are completely hilarious when sung by two men as opposed to a man and a woman."

Tickets for dinner and the show are available by calling the HTP ticket hotline at 302-226-4103 or CAMP Rehoboth at 302-227-5620. Find out more on line at www.henlopentheaterproject.com.
