Just two weeks ago we were all there. Hiking, taking in the glory of those splendid North Carolina gorges and waterfalls, enjoying each other's company. Well, the dust is settlin' on Ariel's Cabin shelves. We've had one more successful year - one more year of Gathering folks pulling together to feverishly handcraft, purchase and then hand over their donations by June. We had a most generous group of wonderful people who offered to lend a hand in this heart warming event - and raised a whopping $1,261 for Ariel. I can assure you, it will greatly help a little girl who faces another surgery in November - which won't be the last! So...as we get back to the routines (AND look forward to a Gathering 2003), I'd like to thank a few special folks who truly made Ariel's Cabin a rousing success. I entered this new responsibility a bit reluctantly - first, because I wasn't entirely certain I would be attending the Gathering due to some scheduling conflicts. But most of all, I knew I would be following in the footsteps of one classy, well-loved and big-hearted Scotswoman. Kate Penman built Ariel's Cabin from the ground up and put so much into the previous 2 years' successes. I had NO reason to worry. Kate was most ready to give me advice and share her past experiences. So, a huge thanks to Kate[:D] I appreciate all her help and encouragement. Next, I have to give a monumental thanks to Ann and Bill Colby for really boosting our fundraising efforts. They quietly purchased the Bill Miller "Three Wisemen" print, framed it, then promptly gave it away! The raffle of that print started us off at $354 - before the silent auction barely began! You're great, you guys@;- [:)] [/quote]    Upload an Image File From Your PC For Insertion in Your Post    -  HTML is OFF | Forum Code is ON   Check here to include your profile signature.
