> Dear Friends,
>
> This is a very special invitation to our Millennium Jam at Claymont Court.
>
> If you are considering whether you want to spend the Millennium on the mean
> streets of Times Square or in the caring arms of the contact community.. and
> have chosen the latter.. this is the event for you.
>
> The dates, of course, cross over into the year 2000-- Thursday, December 29th
> around dinner time to Sunday, January 2nd wrapping up at 2:00 pm with
> jamming/bliss in between.
>
> The place is Claymont- just outside Harpers Ferry in Charlestown West
Virginia.
> We have the mansion and the large octagonal barn all reserved.
>
> We will have food service--great vegetarian meals starting with a light dinner
> on Thursday night for weary travelers and full meals on Friday, Saturday, and
> Sunday breakfast and lunch.
>
> The program is contact improvisation to the core... but also lots more.
Authentic Movement, a barefoot boogie with music, multi-media and even the
potential for live music surprises are all in the mix.
>
> The year 2000 is a special event- a true time for reflection on the grace of
> being alive. To your organizers, it inspires us to come together as a
> community. That's why, for the New Year's Eve celebration, we hope that all
> will participate together in an authentic/contact celebration of the
Millennium.
> And we want to have fun. So we'll crank up the tunes afterwards as well. We
hope that we can all participate together in this very special evening.
>
> There will be lots of time for reflection-- a silent Friday morning, an altar
to
> the new century and the raw beauty of Claymont in the winter. And heat--
both
> in the mansion... and in the sauna as well.
>
> We could go on.. but hopefully you are getting the picture. We would love it
if
> you chose to join the community for this event.
>
> Compared to anything else happening the costs are low--$200 for Thursday
through
> Sunday, $170 for Friday through Sunday--- if you register before November
15th.
> After that add $25 more. Also, to help offset costs, we will ask that all
> participants volunteer for one 2-hour shift to help prepare food and meals.
> This will be an excellent way to work together and be of service to each
other.
>
> Since there are only 44 openings currently available, we hope you will
register
> very soon. Send $50 deposit with your registration to Lynda Fleet at 2908
Ellwood Avenue #2, Richmond, VA 23221 to reserve your spot.>
> Please come join us for this great event.
