Derivatives of Drama:
2011 RED BARN BALL
By Courtney Coffman, Events and Volunteer Manager
Drama is derived from the Greek word for “to do.” Well, we could not have had bigger or better “to dos” than this year’s RED Barn Ball and ProAm Tennis Tournament! An astonishing 375 people gathered at Beaver Farm on June 3rd to dine, dance, and bid under the big white tent. Thanks to the diligent efforts of our effervescent Steering Committee—led by parents Amy and Bob McHugh—and numerous other volunteers, including emcee and auctioneer Robin Young of NPR, the evening was a huge success, garnering over $144,000 to benefit students at Camphill.
and ProAm Tennis 18 Tournament
The following day featured an exhibition match between ProAm founder Anthony DeCecco and Camphill house parent and teacher Andreas Schuschke. In what could only be described as a theatrical display of sportsmanship, Anthony edged out Andreas to take the win. Anthony also staged the ProAm’s first-ever tennis clinic for children of all ages and abilities. Of course, the ProAm Tennis Tournament had its share of drama when for the second year the championship match came down to a tie-breaker.
