We are still doing some traveling and after the new year will visit Atlanta, Athens, Washington DC, Richmond, Baltimore, and many others. I’ll be sure to keep you posted… Robert just returned from his European adventure. You can check out the Mondamin Newsletter to find out more about his trip and see some pics.

We are working on the first ever Green Cove DVD! Mondamin’s has just been completed and is “at the press.” Some of you may have brothers that get a Mondamin DVD. Don't worry...we are working on one for Green Cove. I will keep you updated on the status...

Since our first newsletter we have heard from a few of you and gotten some wonderful Christmas cards. GC Staff Alum Lee Knight Caffery has been doing an externship for law school in Asheville this semester and it has been great to have her around. Anne Starling came to visit Lee Knight a week or so ago and it was wonderful to see her. She is now a police officer in Florida and has been putting her Counselor Hunt skills to good use. She and Lee Knight attended a gingerbread house party at Dixie Marree Prickett’s house in Asheville. Liddell, Megan Worley and I had dinner together a week or so ago and Jill Carr, the barn manager, has been working hard in her studio. She has been able to get a piece or two into some shops in downtown Asheville…Go Jill! Maggie Hicks is headed out for Botswana for several months in January…keep us updated Maggie. If you’ve had any adventures or trips you’d like to tell us about or any other news about people from camp email us and we’ll try to get it into the next round of web news. You can send us pictures too if you want. The more news and photos we get from you the better.

A tremendous adventure that a large group of current and former Mondamin counselors are taking actually began yesterday. “The Grand Canyon Initiative” is a great group of guys who are taking an incredible 227-mile trip down the Colorado River through the Grand Canyon. They are doing it not just for the thrill of the experience, but to raise money for the camp scholarship fund. The money they raise will go to help kids come to Mondamin or Green Cove this summer who couldn’t afford it otherwise. If you’d like to learn more about these guys’ trip and see tons of great photos, go to their website: www.grandcanyoninitiative.org. Better yet, think about making a donation to their fundraising so you can help someone else go to camp next summer. Every little bit counts – maybe a few dollars from your allowance or ask your parents to give you one less present this year and donate that money instead? That desire to help others is part of what we hope you learned at camp and what this time of year is all about. Go to their website to find out how to give money.

We would love to know how you are and what you are up to so send us an email! Have a wonderful and safe holiday season!
Frances, Nancy, Lynn, Liddell, Gus and Mills
