Gentles All! We thought you’d enjoy knowing that in just 11.5 short hours, the Camp Shakespeare HornRaiser has received $15,660 (=104% of our goal!) in donations from exactly 50 contributors. Bruce Meyer put us over the top with a contribution in memory of Stephen Stepan. THANK YOU ALL!
We are over the moon—that silver bow new-bent in heaven—in amazement and gratitude for the outpouring of generosity and love shown already. If you haven’t had a chance to contribute today, you have 29 days still to join the fun and no amount is too small. As much as we hope to have a big bag of ducats (or an even bigger bag of ducats!) for Camp when we are done, we are also keen to have as many participants as possible, as another measure of our collective engagement with Camp Shakespeare and mark of our affection for Doc, Robin, and Camp. Again, many thanks, ever thanks, Maggie, Madge, and Mary business affairs inc. Maggie Megaw (she/her/hers) business affairs inc.

Dear Winedalians, This morning we are launching a Camp Shakespeare HornRaiser!<https://hornraiser.utexas.edu/project/26117> (think Kickstarter, but run by UT and 100% of the money raised goes to Camp Shakespeare). We joyfully invite you to show Doc your love and your support for the program that is the culmination of his life’s work, Camp Shakespeare! Join us in raising money for this summer’s virtual 2021 Camp performances of Much Ado About Nothing and Twelfth Night. Please note that this undertaking will happen fast! We have until July 9 to meet (or surpass!) our goal of $15,000. You remember the thrill of being at Winedale, of being challenged to play out your ideas and discoveries on stage. You remember how being at Winedale provided lifelong friendships and a heartfelt relationship to the transcendent work of William Shakespeare. After thirty years giving that experience to classes of University students, Doc has devoted the past twenty-one years to providing it to young people, 11-16, inspiring them to reach inside themselves and outside to others in exploration and play, study and hard work. These are great gifts. You know this! Let's thank Doc. Let's acknowledge the role played by Robin Grace Soto as Camp Director. Let's show our appreciation to the kids who, in spite of the pandemic, have met weekly with Doc and Robin to read plays and memorize lines and who remained committed to Camp although attending in person was impossible this summer. Let’s deluge Doc, Robin and the Campers with love and hard cash!! Thank you!
