GREETINGS FROM OUR PRESIDENT I want to begin by thanking all of you for coming to our Celebration of Tranquillity Camp at Citi Field, as well as thanking all of you who have generously contributed to this journal. This afternoon we reflect on 64 years of accomplishments for Friends of Tranquillity Camp, founded as the Tranquillity Alumni by dedicated former campers, and look ahead to the 98th summer of Tranquillity Camp. We exist for the sole purpose of supporting our camp. Our contributions provide scholarships for deserving children, supplement camper fees and fund special projects, like the ELIAS A. COHEN DINING HALL (opened in 1970), THE SWIMMING POOLS (1985) and the PEARL C. MILLER SPORTS CENTER (2002). Last year's push to raise funds for our new infirmary reached its goal, and we are hard at work preparing for construction. This year, our help is needed to save our beloved and iconic Barn, to ensure that it is part of our future. For many years the Barn was the Tranquillity Theatre and the centerpiece for evening activities. Built in the early 1800's, the Barn was last renovated in the 1950’s by the Alumni. The Barn was closed last summer and is in need of new foundations, roofing and siding. I urge all former campers with fond memories of Saturday night shows, Stunt Night and Sing, and especially Wednesday and Sunday night senior dances, to buy raffles and give generously. As Pearl often said of the barn and the countless memories made there, "If these walls could talk…" Thank you to our entire event committee, especially, Stacy Budkofsky, Alan Abramson, Wendi Weinman, Daniel Flaxman, and my wife Lisa for their tireless efforts and insights. I wanted to thank two very special current campers. Emma Wilens presented a check of money she earned through her mitzvah project for her Bat Mitzvah to Richard Lerner at this year's Florida Luncheon. Matthew Menis made a donation to today's raffle prizes in memory of his great-grandparents, Debbie and Nat Menis, using money he earned as staff waiter last year. Mathew is a 4th generation Tranquillityite. Emma and Matt are proof that the lessons and message of Noblesse Oblige are alive and well and will carry on into Tranquillity's second century. Today, we are presenting our TY100 logo. This logo symbolizes our next BOLD long-term project: Over the next few years, as we approach Camp's centennial, we are going to be creating an endowment fund that will be a part of sustaining camp as it begins its next 100 years! I hope all of you enjoy our celebration today and are pleased with the new format and location for this year’s event. I am honored to serve as the 6th president of our organization, and look forward to many celebrations with all friends of Tranquillity Camp!

DATELINE EARLTON Each summer I take the Waiters and PC’s (15 year old campers) aside, and talk to them about returning the following summer as CITs. I tell them they need to write me a letter, explaining what they have to offer TY, why they should be invited back and what camp has meant to them. We are extremely proud of our “Homegrown” staff. The letters are heartfelt, insightful and beautifully written. Here is just a small sampling of excerpts from some of these letters. “I was in Southview and put in a bunk where I knew nobody. I fell in love the first day. I met my best friends and learned so many life lessons in just one summer. Ever since then, the next 5 summers were the best summers of my life. I learned the motto of our camp, Noblesse Oblige, and it impacted the rest of my life. Camp Tranquillity is my favorite place to be with the grass so green and skies so blue and totally drama free. I don’t think you will ever see me on the fields and courts without a smile on my face.” “When I think of the word camp, an extreme amount of memories come into my head that make me “camp sick”. In fact, over the year there comes a point where I miss camp so much that most things always find a way of relating to camp. Camp will always have a special place in my heart and I really hope that someday when I am older I will get the honor to make a Shabbos speech.” “Tranquillity is where I have learned most of my life lessons and where I have grown up for the past five summers. I learned the importance of Noblesse Oblige, how to live in peace and harmony with up to 11 other girls in one room for eight weeks, and most importantly, I learned that no matter what happens at home, sleep away camp is always there for you to help you forget the bad times and make amazing memories and friends that will last a lifetime. It is where I can be myself and have the best times in my life.” “I cannot comprehend that after eight years of going to Tranquillity Camp, I’m finally sitting down writing my CIT letter. I would like to say thank you for giving me the best summers of my life at camp. It is honestly my second home. Tranquillity has truly made me who I am today. From the experiences, traditions and friendships made, and especially the lessons learned, I will keep with me and use these lessons for the rest of my life.” “The lessons you have taught me and the friends I have made at Tranquillity have transformed me into the man I am today. Not only do I still keep in touch with my good friends from camp, I keep the spirit of Noblesse Oblige in my heart wherever I go. My five summers have truly changed my life for the better, so thank you.” “I am proud to say that I have been coming to Tranquillity for eight years now. I do not think of Tranquillity as a camp, I think of Tranquillity as a home where kids spend the best two months of their lives. Tranquillity has been a home for me for eight summers now. I have grown so much and found out who I am. I am partly the person I am today because of my counselors who have helped me mature and be the person I am. They have taught me the traits of Noblesse Oblige which is helping and showing others the talents and things you know and teaching it to other people who do not know.” “I would like to thank you for not only reading this letter and considering me for a spot on staff next summer, but also for the most amazing 8 summers of my life. I don’t know where I would be without Camp Tranquillity, along with the traditions and friendships that will always hold dear to my heart.” Sherrie and I look forward to seeing you at camp this summer. Visiting/Alumni Day is Sunday, July 31. Best regards to you and your family.
Sherrie & Richard Lerner
A MESSAGE FROM RICHARD LAWRENCE From the moment the Tranquillity Alumni was formed over 60 years ago, dedicated Tranquillity-ites from all walks of life came together with one purpose - Keep Tranquillity Alive. Without warning, shortly after the start of the 1952 season, they had to replace camp’s main financial support, provided by Tranquillity’s founder, Elias A. Cohen. They faced an economic abyss; their backs were against the wall. Mr. Cohen’s niece, our beloved Pearl C. Miller, who had been at Tranquillity from childhood, possessed of exceptional intellect, memory and natural leadership skills, brought to life the phrase in Mr. Cohen’s will that expressed his strongly held desire that Tranquillity should continue, with the Cohen family working with others to make that happen. Former campers, a great many of whom had immigrated to the U.S. with their parents and whose lives were indelibly shaped by their summer stays at Tranquillity, took the lesson of “Noblesse Oblige” to heart and did whatever they could - and so much more - to give back to that “Little Farm and Camp” that had helped shape both their lives and their character. Businesses that supported camp through the Alumni’s predecessors, the Women’s and Men’s Leagues of Tranquillity, were asked to continue their support. Obviously they succeeded; otherwise the Tranquillity we know and love would not be here today. As the years passed, individuals, families and organizations that supported TY were commonly referred to as “Tranquillityites.” I can think of no higher term of respect or honor. I can still recall Alumni meetings at Temple Ansche Chesed on Manhattan’s Upper West Side. For those who have attended the TY Reunion held for campers every Spring, the Ansche Chesed meetings had the same excitement for hundreds of Adult Tranquillity-ites. Would it be that today’s TY youth could see their parents, aunts, uncles and grandparents acting - like children! It was like coming home. One could easily forget that the goal was to ensure continued support for their beloved summer paradise. In years past, Tranquillity’s finances were managed behind closed doors. For many reasons, that has changed. In order to ensure Tranquillity’s long-term future, it is vital that those who are being asked for their help understand how Tranquillity operates and the critical nature of continuing the financial support from outside sources that has existed since the time of the Great Depression. Now is the time for every Tranquillity-ite to step up and give back. Help can come in many forms. We need more campers deserving of the Tranquillity experience; if needed, scholarship assistance from outside sources is certainly a possibility. Contributions from those who are able are incredibly valuable. Working to secure company ads in the Friends of TY Journal is another way to accumulate a (large) total annual contribution from diversified sources. Working to secure donations of items, such as medical & art supplies, sporting equipment or food used at Camp is another great way to help. My biggest thanks go to every dedicated Friends of Tranquillity Officer, Board member and volunteer who work so hard make this afternoon so special and to whose combined efforts keep Tranquillity both alive and vibrant in spirit as we approach our 98th summer. Commitment means following through. That means each and every one of us.
Richard Lawrence
GREETINGS FROM OUR CHAIRMAN Welcome to Today’s Special Celebration! 64 successful years of our organization and 98 incredible years of Tranquillity Camp represent enviable accomplishments. Tranquillity Camp and Tranquillity-ites do good in this world. I believe that we contribute to a better world, one child at a time. To young campers, this happens over the course of a few weeks each summer. To us, the “adult” Tranquillity-ites, this requires financial diligence from summer to summer, project to project and generation to generation. And so we continue to contribute to camp for scholarships each summer. We have reached our budgeted fundraising goal to start the infirmary project, and the planning has now begun in earnest. We have started a fundraising campaign to refurbish the barn to ensure that it remains the symbolic centerpiece of the Tranquillity experience for many more years to come. Finally, we have conceived our most ambitious fundraising project ever, the creation of a new Friends of Tranquillity Camp endowment fund to help camp move into its second century with strength in perpetuity. We hope to fund it with contributions from alumni, friends and other benefactors. Our plan is to create a financial pool, exclusively for the support of Camp, that will sustain our dear Tranquillity for the future with its earnings. This is a tall order for us all but as we have all learned, if we truly believe, this will be the most important mitzvah we can perform. More details to come soon. Join us by regular donations, planned giving and the sharing of wealth with which you have been blessed. As I grow older and think more about what I will leave behind, I am reminded of the following quotation, which in my mind is just a variation on the lesson of Noblesse Oblige, which we have all been taught: “It takes a noble man to plant a seed for a tree that will someday give shade to people he may never meet.” ….David E. Trueblood Today’s event is a departure from our recent Casino Night gatherings. We chose a new, exciting venue that is inviting to family, during daylight hours, and with easy access to New York City. We hope that you enjoy it. Let us know your thoughts. After all, our goal is to give you a comfortable place to enjoy your Tranquillity friends while we raise funds for our favorite cause. A special thanks to our new President, Cary Spiegel, his wife Lisa and the entire event committee for their dedication and leadership. I believe in my heart that we do what we do out of the goodness in our hearts and that our thanks come from the satisfaction of watching the children grow, honoring the memories of the many others who contributed to our growth as children and young adults, and sharing friendships with our Tranquillity family. I am honored to work with such a caring and selfless group of people from all generations of Tranquillity-ites. And as we celebrate the beginning of our March to a New Century, let’s be grateful to be Friends of Tranquillity Camp. Yours in Noblesse Oblige,
Alan

Maurice (Mike) Schlang
The last of a Great Generation. Mike gave much to Tranquillity, serving its many Boards and the Alumni. He was a warm presence with a strong personality and a great smile. Of Pearl’s generation, he spent his childhood at Tranquillity before it was a camp. He told wonderful stories of that time. Mike was a visionary and set his sights beyond the horizon that he always yearned to cross. He would sketch out his ideas and then follow up with perseverance, precision, and the guiding light of Noblesse Oblige to bring these visions to fruition. Lake Pearl is a shining example of his creativity, enthusiasm and tenacity in action. Tranquillity, always in Mike’s full heart, will now be his eternal “summer home”. Mike was accomplished in the Real Estate field, learning from his Uncle EA, his cousins and his brothers. He was a presence on Wall Street and worked closely with the icons of finance in the early 20th century. He is missed.
