SAVE THE DATE: Camphill Kimberton's 6th Annual Talkfest, April 27




When I first got the idea for this little event I figured I’d only have to do it once. Stupid me. It was such a hit that we are now planning Talkfest6! Worst of all is that many of you start harassing me about when it will be as soon as January 1 arrives.

I ran into a few people since Francis Trzeciak, our great friend and the world famous Chef and Proprietor of the Birchrunville Store Café, confirmed April 27, 2014 as the day. And…we already have some reservations even before they know anything about this year’s event…including the teeny tiny donation in support of Camphill Village Kimberton Hills…where I am still President of the Board of Directors.

So…to those of you who have complained in the past that you did not get enough notice, here it is. Block out from 5:04 to 7:49 on Sunday, April 27 in all of your calendars. Don’t forget the big paper one on the back of the cabinet door in the kitchen.

Let me repeat this: you will be at the Birchrunville Store Café on April 27 at 5:04.

This means move your daughter’s (or your) wedding date, postpone your vacation, ignore any other invitation that arrives, and plan on attending the most spectacular event ever, starring…you. And some other most interesting people in the world.

One last thing.  New this year. We have a world famous artist creating something just for us to be raffled off at some point during Talkfest. He has generously donated this in support of our most worthy cause: Camphill Village Kimberton Hills. Figuring you all will want a chance to own this museum-worthy object, I have cleverly included the price of a raffle ticket in the donation for the event.

Yes, we are definitely going to fill up all 60 or so spots so to ensure you’re not disappointed, block out the day in all your calendars and them immediately email your reservation to our most excellent Bernadette Kovaleski, bernadette@camphillkimberton.org, or call her, 610-935-8660. Or both.  Or this year you can even register online by clicking here.  

The ridiculously low donation? $167.23 per person. Wow! To support such a great place as Camphill Village Kimberton Hills. And at no extra charge you get a raffle ticket for a specially-created piece of art by that world famous artist I mentioned. He’s a bit shy but I think I can get him to let me announce his name in my next missive. Hopefully we’ll even have a picture to share before too long.

Of course, for those who really want to win, I encourage you to purchase additional raffle tickets for $22.87 each. Remember…the more tickets you have, the better your chances. Only those of you clever enough to make a reservation for Talkfest 6 will be part of the raffle.
