Last call if you want any specific details included on the list I'm preparing of Widville members who are coming to CWE.  I'll include information posted publicly here in WV or sent to me. You can email me at diannew@sslf.org or send a message to me here in WV.

I'm including your WV profile name, real first name, cell # for those who want to share, arrival and departure day/time, and whether you're driving/have a car. Will include WV profile names of all active Villagers who are registered so you can fill in the blanks as you meet each other at Camp.

I'll send the spreadsheet to the email address you included with your registration (but will blindcopy so I'm not sharing personal email addresses with everyone without permission).

Deadline to respond:  5pm PST/8pm EST TODAY ... will send the email out this evening.

Looking forward now to camp - had a setback yesterday and know camp is what I need and want.  Dealing with another loss - funeral is Saturday to honor my Mama Gail .... and she would want me to go.  Feeling stronger.... was so good chatting with Michele yesterday online.  Looking forward to volunteer and help and give positive support.  We need to be positive not negative.  That is what this is all about.  For me a week from today I will be on a plane to Myrtle Beach.  Yay!!!!!!!

I'm so torn on what to do now.  Yesterday, I received some devastating news about someone that Justin and those close to him including myself called this angel of a lady "mama gail."  Lost mama gail yesterday, she looks after her mom and her mom couldn't wake her up.  Waiting to hear when the memorial service will be.  I'm not in a good place right now and very confused.  Do I still go to camp or do I go to the Memorial.  I know Gail would want me to get strong... She always listened to me and we always had wonderful talks - I was suppposed to see here the weekend after camp.  So many regrets now....I know I was blessed for her to be in my life - she was at Justin's funeral and said such a beautiful poem..... Justin once lived with her at her home when he needed a place to stay in his younger years.....  Only consoladation I know is that mama Gail is with Justin and many others right now.....

I know Dianne is working on this, but just in case: Is anyone driving to CWE from Ohio or somewhere reasonably close to it? I'd like to carpool. If you are or know someone who is, please Inbox me here on the site. Thanks!

You're on my list, Judy! I'm working on the job description details and the master schedule and will be in touch soon with all who have expressed an interest to help us make CWE a success. We can't do it without our volunteers!

This was posted this morning on the SSLF Facebook page:

If you have been wishing to attend Camp Widow, but just can't afford the cost, don't despair. We want to help you get to camp. Please send a note to contact at sslf dot org so we can explore ways to make Camp Widow possible for everyone who needs a huge dose of hope. 

AND if you believe in the amazing power of community, please consider sponsoring a camper to attend Camp Widow. Our goal is to offer at least some help to every single person who asks. We desperately need willing generous souls to make that goal possible. 

Hope matters. ♥
