Cooler Days Are Coming Soon As you are putting away things from the summer, consider donating any extra blankets, comforters and the like to Dale Dunning of Just Soup Ministry. Dale distributes blankets to homeless people throughout the area. The cold weather will be here before we know it, so any help would be appreciated. New and gently used blankets, etc can be dropped off at CAMP Rehoboth, 37 Baltimore Avenue. A volunteer will deliver the blankets to Dale as they accumulate. Call Kathy with questions 302-227-5620. Go Ahead! Throw Caution to the Wind There might be better ways to get a thrill but none more exciting. The 2008 Official Gay Day at Six Flags (just north on the Turnpike at Jackson, NJ) is Friday September 19. Starting at 6 p.m., and featuring DJ Seth Gold, the day will benefit the Justin Eng Scholarship. Tickets are $45 in advance ($60 at the gate) and are available at www.twistedlife.com The Justin Eng Scholarship, administered by the Delaware Valley Legacy Fund, is the first scholarship at Philadelphia's University of the Arts aimed toward LGBTI students. For application and additional information, contact www.dvlf.org. The Wurst Will Be the Best! Downtown Rehoboth Beach will be the place to be on the first weekend in October as our downtown restaurants celebrate the First Annual Rehoboth Beach Oktoberfest! Almost a dozen restaurants have already signed on to participate with special menus and a salute to well-brewed beer, sausages and much more. Rehoboth restaurants are getting into the act this year on Friday, Oct. 3 and Saturday, Oct. 4 to start a brand new tradition downtown. On board for turning downtown into an Alpine village are Abstractions, Aqua Grill, Arenas, Cloud 9, Dos Locos, Dogfish Head, DISH!, Frogg Pond, Go Fish, and Irish Eyes. They're cooking up recipes for Sauerbraten, Bratwurst, Weinerschnitzel and incredibly creative takes on traditional German food. For more information, check out www.downtownrehoboth.com.
In case you're wondering what the new addition is adjoining the CAMP Rehoboth Community Center, it's the CAMP Kiosk. It will give CAMP Rehoboth and other non-profit agencies in the area a safe and secure place to sell tickets, and provide information for events happening throughout the year.
Sundance Auctioneer Eric Peterson had a great time filling the shoes of previous auctioneers Ben Killebrew and Chris Riss. His great moment of the night was selling Murray Archibald's painting, Colors of Life, for $10,000.
Rehoboth's Sundance Benefit came of age this year as more than 1,000 party goers packed the Rehoboth Beach Convention Center to celebrate the 21st annual Sundance Auction and Dance. Money raised benefits the Sussex County AIDS Council in its fight against HIV and AIDS and CAMP Rehoboth in its work to make Rehoboth Beach and the surrounding area safe and inclusive communities with room for all. You can find more photos from Sundance in CAMPshots.
