the 4-H Camp here in the North Carolina Mountains. I thank my friends
and colleagues on the list for your strong words of support, your
contributions, and your prayers. Here is a copy of this morning's
message to the camp supporters in our community. On June 17th we will
hold our first arts & heritage camp, in 5 days of Open Space for 8-to-12
year olds. You'll hear about
it.<BR><BR>Love,<BR>Chris<BR><BR>----------<BR>From: "Chris Weaver"

<BLOCKQUOTE>Dear 4-H Camp Supporters,<BR><BR>Monday's mail took us over the
top. Today I will be mailing to Sharon Rowland (director of the 4-H
Development Fund) over $22,000. The Dogwood Foundation's challenge
grant will soon follow, for a total of $39,000 in contributions from our
community, all generated in less than three weeks.<BR><BR>One amazing thing
about this story is that I did not crack any whip, or push, or even
<I>nudge</I> anyone to try to <I>make</I> this happen! Here's what I
did: I expressed my deeply-held belief in the importance of the camp.
I invited you to share why you care: your stories from the past
and your visions for the future. I invited you to help in whatever way
seemed right. And I held the camp in my prayers, for the highest good
of all. That's it.<BR><BR>Now I invite you to a party to celebrate.
On Saturday, June 23rd, we'll serve dinner and have dancing and fun
stuff for the kids. Mark your calendars - details to follow
soon.<BR><BR>Also coming later this week: <BR>
<UL>
<LI>I will be replacing this email group list with an interactive listserv
for ongoing camp supporters, which each of you is invited to join (I won't
sign anyone up - you can register if you wish)
<LI>An update on the camp schedule for the summer and fall
<LI>An invitation to serve on the new camp Advisory Council
<LI><I>Flexible opportunities for educators, artists, and mentors to work
at the camp this summer,</I> along with other staff
openings<BR></LI></UL><BR>Please contact me about any opportunities or
questions you have about how the camp can serve you.<BR><BR>My deepest
thanks and congratulations to you all. What an honor it has been to be
a part of this community effort! Now comes the challenge and the
thrill of bringing the dream to
life.<BR><BR>Blessings,<BR>Chris<BR><BR><BR></BLOCKQUOTE></BLOCKQUOTE></BODY></HTML>
