CAMPNews CAMP Rehoboth Chorus Starting to Prepare New Shows
F
or over half a calendar year, the CAMP Rehoboth Chorus has been entertaining the (virtual) masses with their monthly First Fridays cabaret productions. But now, the group is excited to begin preparing new, live ensemble shows. Stay tuned for more information coming soon regarding ensemble concerts scheduled for September 2426, and then again next President’s Day weekend, February 18-20, 2022. Until then, look out for more cabarets in September (themed “Music of the Night”) and October (“Drinkin’, Cheatin’, and Wild Women”). These concerts will stream live from the CAMP Rehoboth Chorus Facebook page and will also be featured on CAMP Rehoboth’s YouTube page. ▼

CROP Braves the Heat at Delaware Botanic Gardens
O
n Tuesday, July 13, an intrepid team of seven CROP volunteers braved the summer heat and assisted with needed tasks at Delaware Botanic Gardens in Dagsboro. The team planted grasses along the Living Shore Line at Pepper Creek to mitigate erosion, cleared brush, and did more planting in other areas. They also planted vines at the base of several “tree wogs”—upended trees with their roots sticking up. A very productive morning! Head horticulturist Stephen Pryce Lea was super appreciative of CROP volunteers’ efforts—which, the team pointed out, they couldn’t have done without his expert guidance ▼

CROP Visits the Food Bank
A
team of 10 CROP volunteers traveled to the Food Bank of Delaware’s facility in Milford on Tuesday, August 3. There, they sorted a myriad of food items into their proper categories— vegetables (loads of cans!), breakfast items, beverages, soup, protein, condiments, and more. Then the items were boxed to be delivered to many Delaware organizations for distribution to families in need. Over 2,500 pounds of food were boxed! This was CROP’s third quarterly visit to the Food Bank, with one more scheduled this year (November 2). Thanks to all who participated! ▼ Photos above: The CROP Team
