Black History Panel

 

Shining a Light on Local Black History

On Friday, February 7, the “big room” of the CAMP Rehoboth Community Center was filled to capacity with a crowd eager to hear the panel moderated by Don Peterson. The discussion, titled Shine a Light, was the Second Annual Black History Month Celebration at CAMP Rehoboth and featured panelists Jacqueline Goodwin, Waynne Paskins, Clem Jordon, Ruth Palmer, and Stell Parker-Selby. Shine a Light included an art show and reception in the CAMP Rehoboth Gallery. The show, using light as a metaphor, focused attention on the talent of African American artists. The celebration was co-hosted by CAMP Rehoboth and the Southern Delaware Alliance for Racial Justice.▼

Chorus 2020 Legends

Chorus 2020 Legends

Legends is Legendary! CAMP Rehoboth Chorus Shines

On Valentine’s Day weekend, the CAMP Rehoboth Chorus opened their 11th season with three sold out performances of Legends. The concert featured salutes to entertainers recognized by one name. Aretha, Bette, Cher, Dolly, and a full cast of single moniker celebs showed up to dazzle the crowd. The musical journey was conceived and directed by Rehoboth’s own legendary Doug Yetter, and shone as bright as the glitter jackets he wore for the performances. “They make us proud,” said CAMP Rehoboth Founder Murray Archibald. “And they continue to be amazing ambassadors for the organization.” Tickets are available now for an encore performance of Legends on April 26, at 3 p.m. at Sussex Academy in Georgetown. ▼

Speak OUT

I can’t tell you how grateful I am for the AARP tax session I attended on February 25. The people were so kind and helpful, especially knowing that I had many forms related to the passing of my spouse, Sam Deetz, in 2019.  

Thankfully, I attended the session and received much guidance. Due to the complications of some of my forms two people helped. In all they spent two hours with me (fortunately there were no people on line). When I had done a rough calculation I came out owing both the federal and state money. Thankfully, after the AARP tax specialist reviewed my forms I got a small federal refund and only owed the state a small amount. I am so grateful.

Be certain to send my compliments on to the people in charge of the AARP program and again my thanks to CAMP Rehoboth for running this program.
– Jim Zeigler
