CampExperience™
A Bit of Betsy November 2007
*************************************"It is good to have an end to journey toward; but it is the journey that maters in the end." Ursula K. Le Guin
WOW Can you believe that CampExperience has come and gone and we are now starting the planning for 2008? WOW what fun to bring 240 AMAZING women together for clear purpose, adventures, education and FUN!
I guess we can let a Camper April Samaras say it best....
" I was just looking at all the great pictures from Camp. I wanted to tell you how unbelievably amazing YOU are - and CampExperience was for me and for Joan. It was such a blessing to connect with so many wonderful people, and to learn how I can impact others.
I am still processing every thing I learned and shared- and the time there really gave me the strength to go on. The holidays will be tough -but I know that I can get through, and the inspiration comes largely from spending time with all of you. Thanks for the laughter, tears- and the ability I now have ( some days more than others) to get out of my own head and realize that we aren't alone in this journey - and what an incredible blessing SISTERHOOD really is." April Samaras, Camper

Warren Village Jacket Exchange
The second-annual October Warren Village Jacket Exchange drew 147 guests (up from 103 last year) and raised $5387.95!! Many Camp sisters enjoyed cocktails, hospitality and "new" to us jackets as we supported women and their families.
"Warren Village is overwhelmed by the generosity and support of our Campers. No one would have dared to dream of raising $30,000 at Camp. Campers have opened their hearts and embraced Warren Village - touching the lives of our families in incredible ways. Thank you!" Sue Mohrman, Warren Village
Arbonne Visits Partners in Housing for some TLC
From Sherri Albertson, Partners in Housing, "Thanks again so much for coming down last Friday for the PIH Pampering afternoon for the caseworkers! Your thoughtfulness meant an awful lot to them and to me. They really enjoyed the foot soaks (I think best;) and the hand scrubs, and those who were brave enough, for the facials (they loved having them!)
Partners in Housing case workers getting Arbonne facials.
"What a fantastic event! On behalf of our Partners In Housing families, we would like to thank the CampExperience team and all the campers who attended for your tremendous generosity, vision, and compassion. This is truly an amazing way in which amazing women can make a difference in the lives of homeless families! Thank you!" The Partners in Housing Team
