July 13, 2018 - The Way I See It by Murray Archibald

Murray Archibald

We’ve made it through the fourth of July holiday, and now discover that the summer season is half over. This is issue nine in our 28th season of publishing Letters from CAMP Rehoboth and it is our first environmental issue. Stefani Deoul writes an eye-opening piece about “just saying no...” to plastic straws. Studies have already found plastic particles (microplastics) in nearly three-in-four deep sea fish. Read more, this is fascinating and frightening. ▽

This time of year, I have one big request: please sign up right now to be a Host, Supporter, or Sponsor of Sundance 2018. I don’t know how much longer we will be able to keep the prices the same, but for now a Host level ticket is a still a great bargain, and includes a ticket to the Auction and the Dance night, as well as a Sundance T-shirt and listing on invitations, posters, and in Letters from CAMP Rehoboth. Higher levels of support include additional benefits—including access to the Sponsor Lounge on the night of the dance. Don’t forget, this year the dance features an early set (7-9:45 p.m.) with legendary Studio 45/Saint DJ Robbie Leslie, followed by the energy of international DJ/Remixer Joe Gauthreaux. Hosts, Supporters, and Sponsors make it happen. Please sign up today! ▽

Recent issues of Letters from CAMP Rehoboth have featured design changes throughout, and especially in our new arts and entertainment section. Art has been a vital part of CAMP Rehoboth programming from its inception almost 30 years ago. Upcoming CAMP Rehoboth Gallery highlights include: Light and Music by Vincent Hughes and Yvonne Frankis, July 2-31; Delaware Division of the Arts 2018 Award Winners, August 3-26; Scratched—A Very Beary Artshow (Bear Weekend), September 2-25; and Imagine—New Works by Terrance Vann, October 1-31. Save the dates, and check out Letters all year long for details about these and other art events in Southern Delaware. ▽

CAMP Rehoboth, by the way, is now accepting submissions from artists for the Scratched show in September. Artists may enter up to three works for consideration in the show. Paintings, photographs, multimedia art, and smaller 3-D works will be considered. There is a special Saturday artists’ reception on September 22. Guidelines for artists’ submissions are available on the CAMP Rehoboth website under Programs/Visual Arts. ▽

When entertainment committee chair Mike DeFlavia suggested we bring The Skivvies in to perform at the Convention Center, we agreed though I, like many others, was not familiar with them. That all changed for those of us who attended their show on Saturday, June 30. Their personalities, energy, and delightfully funny mashups kept the crowd smiling and wanting more. Our thanks to those who came out to support the event—and to Mike for introducing them to us! ▽

Mike and his household and fellow party hosts deserve a word of thanks (as do Chris Beagle and our many CAMP Rehoboth volunteers) for all the effort that went into making the annual 6 Futcher Pool party another successful fundraiser for CAMP Rehoboth. This year’s Candyland-themed party was sweet and hot, and despite being switched to the raindate, the usual good time was had by all. Once again, CAMP Rehoboth Annual Premier Sponsor Smirnoff Vodka and the folks at Breakthru Beverage came through in a big way to support the event, and we are thankful for their contribution. ▽

On a personal note, I continue to be thankful to everyone for their steady support for me during this time of grieving. My work at CAMP Rehoboth keeps me busy—which is probably a good thing right now. Every day I discover little things that Steve took care of and that I took for granted. I could not have gotten through any of this without the incredible efforts of the staff and volunteers of CAMP Rehoboth or the entire Letters team. They all continue to give me strength on a daily basis. I’m convinced I could not live in a more supportive environment. Thank you one and all. ▽
