Morrison Huston was authentic. He knew the importance of a real connection, felt the warmth of a genuine smile, valued laughter and new experiences. <br />

<br />
During his 18 years as president of the Board of Directors of Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, Morrie did all he could to enrich the lives of the villagers in the community, which included his daughter, Posie. <br />
He organized ice skating trips, rode on parade floats, and welcomed villagers to sit with him during Board meetings. His interest and care was real; it was authentic. He gave devoted service to Kimberton Hills and ensured that everyone had an opportunity to pursue interests and enjoy life in all its wonderful aspects.<br />
<br />
Through the Morrie Huston Villager Activity Fund, established following his death in 2008, we are able to continue his legacy and offer enjoyable outings, experiences and cultural activities to our residents, many who have minimal or no family support.<br />
<br />
Last year, thanks to the Morrie Huston Villager Activity Fund, several villagers took part in the Camphill Challenge, a bike ride event in support of Camphill communities in Pennsylvania. Also in the fall, two groups of excited villagers traveled with coworkers to Outer Banks, North Carolina. The use of the vacation home was donated to the village by the Andersons - Andy Eisenson's family - and all of their other expenses were covered by the Morrie Huston Villager Activity Fund, providing a wonderful and relaxing vacation for two groups of adults with special needs. <br />

<b>June 13 and 14 in Rose Hall, Camphill Village Kimberton Hills</b></div>
<br />
Rudolf Steiner calls Anthroposophy as such a Therapeutic Impulse that leads to the Healing of the Whole Human Being. Yet most, even very serious students of Anthroposophy, know very little about specific details and methods that are unique to Anthroposophic Medicine (AM), and certainly even less about how to make it fruitful in their everyday life. This weekend we will try to take first steps in “curing this ill”.<br />
<br />
<b>Friday Evening Talk on June 13, 7:30 – 9:00 pm – “Too Tired – Too Wired”</b><br />
(Starting with a look at these basic polarities in our cultural health will help us also gain insights into many specific NEW anthroposophic remedies and Eurythmy exercises.) $15 at door.<br />
<br />
<b>Saturday Workshop on June 14, 9:00 am to 5:30 pm</b><br />
9:00 – 10:00 AM: <i>From Research to Practical Applications</i> (What are Potentized/Homeopathic Remedies; NEW Anthroposophic Remedies; Over the counter drugs for home and self-help use)<br />
<br />
10:15 – 11:15 AM: <i>Adult and Childhood Immunizations - an Anthroposophic Viewpoint </i>- (Is all of anthroposophical medicine a subtle form of immunization? This general topic will allow us to discuss in more depth several “what to do’s” in daily life.)<br />
<br />
11:30 AM – 12:30 PM: <i>Artistic Group Activity: Eurythmy</i><br />
<br />
2:00– 3:00 PM: <i>Metabolic Illnesses</i> (An Anthroposophic View of chronic diseases, various cultural health related issues and applicable anthroposophic remedies)<br />
<br />
3:15 – 4:15 PM: <i>Technology and Anthroposophy</i> (What to embrace what to overcome)<br />
<br />
4:30-5:30 PM: <i>Case Studies - Questions & Answers</i><br />
<br />
<b>Saturday Evening Talk on June 14, 7:30 - 9pm - “Michael and our Health Karma”</b><br />
(The karma that connects us to Michael is particularly related to our Health Karma. For Members of the Anthrop. Society and their invited Guests; Knowledge of Anthroposophy is assumed) Free to the community<br />
<br />
<b>Workshop cost: $35 or $45 (including Friday lecture)</b><br />

<i>from guest blogger John Tower, Kimberton Hills coworker</i><br />
<i><br /></i>
This is a busy time of year for bluebirds and tree swallows. They have to find a safe place to build a nest, collect just the right materials they need like dried grass, pine needles and white feathers. To have the energy to build a news and produce eggs, they need to eat a lot of bugs. Right now, the bluebirds have gone so far as to lay five eggs in their nests and are beginning to sit on them day and night to warm them up so they will hatch in about 16 days.<br />

Bluebirds were in decline until efforts were made to provide nesting habitat in the form of the boxes you see here in Kimberton Hills. This is the labor of love that Marilyn Michalski, "the bird lady," has been providing us as a volunteer for many years. You may see her with me on Monday afternoons in her red station wagon, checking the 58 boxes in operation this year. She is happy to answer any questions on birds you may have.

Senator Gaylord Nelson of Wisconsin, elected to the senate in 1962, struggled to bring environmental causes to the attention of Washington politicians. His idea of a "national day for the environment" - the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970 - put pressure on politicians to create a national environmental agenda. Senator Nelson's hope was not for Washington to organize the events of Earth Day, but for individuals and groups to organize activities within their own communities. Citizens enthusiastically supported the effort and an estimated 20 million people gathered throughout the country to demand action on environmental legislation. It was the combined efforts at the grassroots level that gave the first Earth Day its major impact. We are called to preserve this legacy and continue the efforts that began 44 years ago.<br />
<br />
At Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, we are doing our part to lessen our impact on the Earth. We have a strong dedication to the idea that the health of people and the land are not separate, that a community of people putting healthy ideals into practice can be in a mutually beneficial relationship with the land it stewards. Organic and biodynamic farming, gardening and overall stewardship of the land are important elements of our care for the Earth. Please read more about our commitment to sustainable building and ecological design by clicking <a href="http://www.camphillkimberton.org/sustainability/" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />
<br />
We wish you a happy Earth Day and invite you to join with us <i>every</i> day in working toward a healthy planet, with healthy people, land and animals.<br />

Don't be so quick to toss that banana peel into the trash. Composting is an easy and free way to add nutrients to your garden while recycling kitchen and lawn waste. Proper composting can divert up to 30 percent of waste away from your garbage can and introduces beneficial organisms to the soil. Each household in Kimberton Hills collects waste for compost, which is taken to the garden.<br />
<br />
Not sure how to get started with composting? Our friend Greg at eartheasy.com has some great suggestions <a href="http://eartheasy.com/grow_compost.html" target="_blank">here</a>. </div>

<div style="text-align: start;">
<i>Upcycle</i>. </div>
<div style="text-align: start;">
Upcycling is taking waste and making it into something that has equal or greater use or value. Kimberton Hills' weavery and fiber arts workshops do this regularly. For example, we create beautiful hand-woven rugs out of old jeans and felted juggling balls around used golf balls. We also reuse printed materials as space holders on looms or to create tags for items. There are many possibilities - try and see how creative you can be! </div>

Dust off that bicycle just sitting in your garage and get moving. You'll be helping yourself and the planet feel better by doing a little bit of exercise, instead of driving your car. According to the WorldWatch Institute, a four-mile bike ride keeps about 15 pounds of pollutants out of the air we breathe. </div>

About that raffle, I have
ensured that each and every person who calls 610-935-8660, or emails, <a href="mailto:bernadette@camphillkimberton.org">bernadette@camphillkimberton.org</a>, and makes a reservation will get a chance to
win. I was so clever. I included a raffle ticket right in the Talkfest
donation. Okay, it was really Bernadette who told me to do this. She is way
smarter than me about these things.</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

<div class="MsoNormal">
But it was me who then figured
out we ought to offer those of you wanting extra changes to win this artistic masterpiece
extra chances to purchase additional

small.<o:p></o:p></div>

One small donation gets you so
much: an incredible time, great food and drink, and the joy of supporting such
a worthy cause. Don’t be stuck watching television, eating leftovers while
drinking plonk, and talking to yourself. Be at the Birchrunville Store Café on
April 27 between 5:04 and 7:49.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<br />
Join us on Saturday, April 26, 7:30 to 9:00 p.m. in Rose Hall for "Composting as a Free Deed" with Bruno Follador.<br />
<br />
Bruno Follador was born in Brazil. He is a biodynamic researcher and has been working with biodynamic composting methods for several years with farmers and organizations in Brazil, Europe and the United States. Bruno is a geographer and received his training in Biodynamic gardening at the Pfeiffer Center, in NY. For three years he was one of the researchers and consultants of the Ludolf Andreas Lab, at Andreashof, a biodynamic farm in Germany, where he worked with compost and chromatography. At the moment, he lives between Brazil and the U.S. where he continues to work with chromatography and composting.<br />
<br />
Bruno’s talk will take its start from a passage from Dr. Ita Wegman’s essay The Mystery of the Earth, 1929:<br />
"Nature is becoming a mirror of chaotic human behavior, as is evident in catastrophes and anomalies; we perceive them in nature's mirror without recognizing them as our own reflection."<br />
<br />
He will address such questions as, How can we develop a living, practical, and personal relationship with compost and soil fertility that goes beyond a mindset of waste management and yields? How does our way of seeing, thinking, and speaking contribute to creating our agricultural reality? Is there a relationship between soil erosion and social conflicts? And within this context: Could it be possible to start seeing the compost pile as an outer expression of our way of thinking and relating to Nature? Can compost begin to show itself as the outer expression of the inner gesture of the gardener and farmer?<br />
<br />
Suggested donation: $15.00 at the door<br />

According to <i>The Morning Call</i>, "It seems perfectly natural to pair Hallman's fiber wall hangings and sculpture with paintings by an artist who shares similarity in range of palette, texture and theme. When that kindred spirit is none other than Hallman's father, Ted Hallman Sr., the juxtaposition becomes a legacy."</div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Camphill Village Kimberton
Hills will host musicians Bet Williams and Jack and John Hodian as part of
their upcoming Family Circus Tour throughout the United States. The concert
will be held </span><b style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Saturday, April 12, 2014 at 8:00 p.m. </b><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">in Rose Hall. Advance
tickets are available for $15.00.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">From ancient monasteries in
Armenia to music festivals in France, Germany & Switzerland, Bet Williams
and John Hodian have been creating and performing music together for over 20
years. With both the world music ensemble “Epiphany Project” and the
alt-rock-pop-blues based “Bet Williams Band” the music these two artists create
is a vast quilt of influences and inspirations. With their growing success
overseas, the duo (originally from New York) settled in Berlin five years ago
where they have built a strong cult following throughout Europe. Now Bet and
John will be bringing music from both their bands to venues (and living rooms)
all across America for a series of intimate concerts. This American tour is
particularly special as they will be performing with their 10-year-old son,
Jack, on drums and percussion.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">With influences ranging from
Qawwali devotional songs to Appalachian Folk, acoustic blues and Tuvan throat
singing, singer/songwriter Bet Williams uses her voice in an endless number of
unusual ways. John Hodian’s piano playing features haunting melodies, intricate
rhythms, and a soulful intensity that reflect his Armenian roots as well as his
formal composition training and affinity for improvisation. Epiphany Project
has been described by the Washington Post as “a unique hybrid of world music,
art song, Americana and avant-garde folk; utterly uncategorizable but always
transcendently beautiful.” Their music is a blend of ancient and modern
cultures and musical </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">styles, but the earthy,
trance-like rhythms and chant melodies make it seem strangely familiar.</span></div>

<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Bet Williams is a fearless
vocalist and dynamic performer whose music combines intelligent lyrics and
infectious hooks. She has been lauded by National Public Radio as, “a
blues-roots, new folk, tone poet with a highly charismatic stage presence and
an astonishing four-octave range voice.” With a gift for storytelling and
spontaneous humor, her stage performances can go from the profound and poetic
to wild and spontaneous, at times bordering on performance art.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">The upcoming performance at
Rose Hall is a chance to hear music from both Bet Williams Band and Epiphany
Project, along with an excerpt from John’s magnum opus “Nagash” based on texts
by a 14th century Armenian mystic poet and priest. Rose Hall, part of Camphill
Village Kimberton Hills, was voted the "Best Live Music Venue" in </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Chester County by readers of
the Philadelphia Inquirer. Its excellent acoustics and intimate feeling make it
an amazing place to experience live music.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">The Camphill Café, adjacent
to Rose Hall, will also be open for dinner prior to the concert and during
intermission. Seating for the BYOB dinner at the Camphill Café will begin at 6
p.m. with the concert following at 8 p.m. Cost is $30 per person for both
dinner and the concert. Reservations are required for dinner and can be made
online or by calling 610-935-8660. The menu includes an entree from the
sandwiches/salad menu or vegetarian quiche with salad, small soup, a drink and
dessert. </span><span style="font-family: 'Times New Roman', serif; font-size: 12pt;">Concert-only tickets will be

worried about my memory but we’ll talk about that at Talkfest.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Talkfest: an event filled with
the most incredible people you can imagine. People who are friends and
supporters of <a href="http://www.camphillkimberton.org/" target="_blank">Camphill VillageKimberton Hills</a>…an exceptional intentional lifesharing biodynamic community

As usual---No speeches, No

<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The most scrumptious oardoors
from the talented hands of Master Chef Francis Trzeciak and the other great
people at the <a href="http://birchrunvillestorecafe.com/">Birchrunville Store

delightfully aged and bottled just for you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And, a special treat. I have
convinced a world famous wood artist to turn a piece or two of our very own

be raffled off to some lucky attendee.<o:p></o:p></div>

Even better, I have ensured
that each and every person who calls (610-935-8660) or emails (<a href="mailto:bernadette@camphillkimberton.org">bernadette@camphillkimberton.org</a>) Bernadette will get a chance to win. That’s
right, I’ve included a raffle ticket right in the Talkfest donation. Well, actually
Bernadette told me to do this. She is just so much cleverer than me. She also figured out a way you can register online by clicking <a href="https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E11983&id=4" target="_blank">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
But I figured out that it
would be good to offer those of you who want extra chances the ability to
purchase additional raffle tickets for a teeny tiny additional donation. By a

a specially created artwork by The Artist. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">
Of course, I encourage you to
purchase additional raffle tickets for $22.87 each. Remember…the more tickets

Can you help Camphill Kimberton?<iframe allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="344" src="//www.youtube.com/embed/a2YVoJbDUhU" width="459"></iframe><br />
<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Who ends their fiscal year in March?</span><br />
<h1>
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; font-size: small;"><o:p></o:p></span></h1>
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">Most people don’t, but we do!</span><br />
<div class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom: 12pt;">
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br />We tend to do a lot of things differently.<br /><br />But it must be working.<br /><br />
We are healthy.<br />We are thriving.<br />We are happy.<br /><br />But unfortunately, this year, we are a little bit short.<br /><br />We still need to meet our Village Support Fund goal. The Village Support Fund is Kimberton Hills' annual operating money. It pays for all the things we need throughout the year: groceries, toilet paper, roof repairs, labels for our herb garden, paper for the office printers – all the things we need to keep our village going. It makes up about 25% of our operating budget.<br /><br />
To close the gap in our Village Support Fund, we need to raise <strong>$25,000</strong> in <strong>25 days</strong>. <br /><br />That’s by March 31.</span></div>
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;"><span style="color: #505050; line-height: 150%;"><br /></span>
<span style="color: #505050; line-height: 150%;">Why are we short, you might ask? There are a few reasons why including:</span></span></div>
<ul style="line-height: 150%;">
<li><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">less funds were raised via special events than we were expecting</span></li>
<li><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">some grant decisions have not been made yet, and some grant applications were not accepted </span></li>
<li><span style="color: #505050; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;">some donors supported designated special funds, in lieu of giving undesignated operating support</span></li>
</ul>
<span style="line-height: 24px;"><span style="color: #444444; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif;">Approximately ½ of Camphill Kimberton’s operating income is generated by fees (villager family support), ¼ comes from the sale of goods, services and rentals (craft shop sales, Rose Hall rentals, etc.), and we rely on approximately ¼ of our income to come from charitable contributions.</span></span><br />
<div style="line-height: 150%;">
<span style="color: #505050; font-family: Trebuchet MS, sans-serif; line-height: 150%;"><br />Kimberton Hills has always been a careful steward of donated funds. This year has been a difficult one and so we are asking - will you help us close the gap? <o:p></o:p></span></div>

Only six more weeks until
Talkfest 6 arrives. Hard to believe that April is right around the corner as I
look out on all the snow and notice my nose starts to freeze as soon as I step
outside. Seems Puxatawney Phil was right…winter will endure for longer than we
hoped.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Which is why it is so exciting
that Talkfest 6 is just about here. I have it from a higher authority that it
will get warmer, the snow will melt, and it is going to be a spectacular day to
be wandering around the <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<a href="http://birchrunvillestorecafe.com/">Birchrunville Store Café</a>, on the
evening of April 27, 2014. <a href="http://www.camphillkimberton.org/" target="_blank">Camphill Village Kimberton Hills</a>’ great friend, the
World Famous Master Chef Francis Trzeciak, tells me the food is going to even
better than in previous years! I know this is hard to believe but he does have
another year of practice and has developed some amazing new recipes. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
I’ve already found a few
spectacular biodynamic and organic wines which I’m trying not to drink myself
before you get your chance to fill a glass. There will be another bottle of
that wonderful organic cactus juice which a number of you decided was great
after we removed the sharp spears. Some of you asked what new treat I was going
to find for this year’s event so imagine what just might be made from organic
sugar cane in…France! <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
As you know it’s all in support
of <a href="http://www.camphillkimberton.org/" target="_blank">CamphillVillage Kimberton Hills</a>…the most amazing intentional community including
people with developmental disabilities. One small donation and you get an
incredible time while supporting such a worthy cause. How can you stay home?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
Just like the first 5
Talkfests, no program, no presentations, no videos, nothing at all but
exceptional oardoors and wines…and a few of those other liquids I already
mentioned…and you. You talking to the unbelievably interesting collection of
people who assemble to wander around sharing ideas about this and that.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
And all of them talking to
you.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">

Let me repeat this: you will
be at the Birchrunville Store Café on April 27 between 5:04 and 7:49.<o:p></o:p></div>

New this year. We have a Universe
Famous Artist creating a masterpiece that some lucky attendee will take home…if
they win the raffle. That’s right, we are having a raffle at some point during
Talkfest 6. The Artist has generously donated the piece he is right now
creating just for this event in support of our most worthy cause: <a href="http://www.camphillkimberton.org/">Camphill Village Kimberton Hills</a>.
Figuring you all will want a chance to own the work before some museum swoops
in to steal it, I have cleverly included the price of a raffle ticket in the
donation for the event.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
We already have around a third
of the slots filled. We are going to sell out. 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, <a href="mailto:bernadette@camphillkimberton.org">bernadette@camphillkimberton.org</a>,
or call her, 610-935-8660. Or register online <a href="https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E11983&id=4" target="_blank">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
The ridiculously low donation?
$167.23 per ticket. 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 artwork by The Artist. <o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
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.<o:p></o:p></div>

<br />
<br />
Bass-baritone Adam Fry recently completed his tenure in Pittsburgh Opera’s Resident Artist Program. While at Pittsburgh Opera, he performed such roles as Basilio in Rossini’s Il barbiere di Siviglia, the Mandarin in Barbe and Doucet’s production of Puccini’s Turandot, the 1st Officer in Poulenc’s Dialogues of the Carmelites, and the Marchese in Verdi’s La traviata. A winner of Astral Artists’ 2013 National Auditions, Mr. Fry was also a prizewinner in the Annapolis Opera Vocal Competition, District Winner of the Metropolitan Opera National Council Auditions, and a Finalist in the Lotte Leyna Competition. Recently, he made his Erie Philharmonic debut as soloist in Beethoven’s Symphony No. 9 and performed the roles of Nourabad in Bizet’s The Pearl Fishers, Angelotti in Puccini’s Tosca, and Pasha Selim in Mozart’s Abduction from the Seraglio. He returned to the Erie Philharmonic for Rossini’s Stabat Mater and, in the 2012-2013 season, returned to Pittsburgh Opera as a guest artist in the roles of Count Ceprano in Verdi’s Rigoletto and the Imperial Commissioner in Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. Since making his Dayton Opera debut as the Imperial Commissioner, Mr. Fry has returned to Dayton for Mandarin in Turandot and the Doctor/Servant in Verdi’s Macbeth. He has also appeared as Don Magnifico in Rossini’s La cenerentola with Union Avenue Opera. In the summer of 2009, Mr. Fry was a member of Glimmerglass Opera’s esteemed Young American Artist Program where, as a cover, he went on to perform Don Magnifico in La Cenerentola and the Marchese d’Obigny and Dottore Grenvil in Jonathan Miller’s La traviata. He returned to Glimmerglass in 2010 to perform Bartolo in Mozart’s Le nozze di Figaro. He has also been a member of the Chautauqua Young Artist Program and the Lake George Opera Studio Program. While pursuing an Artist Diploma and a Master of Music degree at the Cincinnati College-Conservatory of Music, Mr. Fry performed such roles as Colline in Puccini’s La bohème, Don Basilio, Man with a Cornet Case in Dominick Argento’s Postcard from Morocco, and Dulcamara in Donizetti’s L’elisir d’amore.<br />

Fanfare Magazine says pianist Dizhou Zhao “offers the blend of passion and intelligence that characterizes the mature artist” and that he “lives fully in the music.” Born and raised in China, Dizhou Zhao began studying the piano at the age of four in his hometown of Shanghai, and by age seven he had performed his first public concert and won First Prize in a competition in Shanghai. Just one year later, he was invited to record five of Mozart’s piano sonatas. At age 17, with only ten-days’ notice, he performed Prokofiev’s Piano Concerto No. 3 with the Shanghai Symphony Orchestra. The winner of numerous competition prizes, Mr. Zhao captured the top prize at Australia’s Southern Highlands International Piano Competition, the International Keyboard Institute & Festival’s Dorothy MacKenzie Artist Recognition Scholarship Awards, and the Louisiana International Piano Competition. He is a winner of Astral Artists’ 2012 National Auditions. Mr. Zhao performed Mozart’s Double Piano Concerto with famed Italian pianist Stefano Miceli in Boston’s Tsai Performance Center in 2010, with the Leipzig Philharmonic Orchestra. He was also the featured soloist in Stravinsky’s Concerto for Piano and Wind Instruments with the Queensland Symphony Orchestra. Recent engagements include a series of all-Chopin recitals in Texas and appearances at the Bergamot Music Festival and the New York Piano Festival. In 2008, Mr. Zhao recorded his debut solo CD in Moscow, for the Classical Records label. Dizhou Zhao came to the U.S. in 1999, to study at the New England Conservatory, where he earned a Bachelor’s degree with a distinguished performance award and studied with Russell Sherman and Patricia Zander. He also holds a Master’s degree from NEC, under Alexander Korsantia. He is currently the Executive Artistic Director of the Happy Day Music Performing Arts Center in Troy, Michigan.<br />

<b>New Community Leaders Celebrate </b><br />

<br />
It all started on September 4, 2013 when nine individuals began their leadership journey through the Community Health Leadership Academy. These committed community volunteers met one evening a week for 11 weeks, learning from experts, both locally and nationally based, on aspects of leadership. They have had to apply their new-found knowledge by developing a community service project that will benefit the greater Phoenixville community.<br />
<br />
The students and their projects are: Karen Bearden who is re-designing the GRIMES after-school program; Robert Fedick, Jr. who is designing a web-based sharing program called “ShareOurStuff.org;” Felicity Jeans, Executive Director at Camphill Kimberton, who has instituted a Community Craft Conference for the Camphill communities; Kim Howard who has started her journey to develop Growing Up Farms to provide healthy foods to those in need; Christine Keisling has begun a campaign to ensure the Philadelphia Freedom YMCA is accessible to people of all abilities; Gloria Kelly is collaborating with meals programs and food cupboards to ensure access to all in need; and Margie Watson is developing an initiative called “Reclaiming Yourself” to empower teen girls against bullying and abuse.<br />

“The Community Health Leadership Academy is designed for adults who want to become more involved in their community,” said Lynn Pike Hartman, Phoenixville Community Health Foundation Vice President for Programs and Academy Facilitator. During the graduation luncheon at the Freedoms Foundation on November 26, Hartman encouraged all of the graduates to continue their leadership journey and their desire to create positive change in their communities. Hartman said, “I hope you have come to understand that leadership is not a one-size-fits-all jacket you can take off the hanger and put on. Instead it is personal qualities that show you to be a person of strength and integrity. Show the world, and this community, the true leaders that I know you are.”<br />
<br />
The Community Health Leadership Academy is sponsored by the Phoenixville Community Health Foundation and the Pennsylvania Association of Nonprofit Organizations. The mission of the Academy is to provide a vehicle to identify, train and empower greater Phoenixville area citizens for leadership roles that promote our community’s health and advance its quality of life.<br />
<br />
Dr. Louis Beccaria, President and CEO of the Foundation, addressed the graduates. Beccaria said. “This Academy is designed to grow future Champions of the Community, and with now 105 graduates, the program is having a positive impact on the greater Phoenixville community.”<br />
<br />

I just spent five minutes validating a matching gift request. Only five minutes to receive an additional $500 for our Village Support Fund. <br />
<br />
How can that be? <br />
<br />
Matching gift programs are charitable giving programs set up by corporations in which the company matches donations made by employees to eligible nonprofit organizations. Through these programs, when you make a donation your company will also make a donation to the charity in the same amount or “match” your gift. Some companies will even double or even triple match a donor’s gifts.<br />
<br />
Today's donor made a $500 contribution to us in December. He requested a matching gift from his employer. The company contacted us to make sure he made the donation, I just validated it, and in a week or so, the company will send us an additional $500 gift. With just five minutes of time, our donor's contribution was doubled! <br />
<br />
How can you find a match?<br />
<br />
Speak with a representative at your company to see if they participate in a matching gift program and see if Camphill Kimberton is eligible to receive matching gift funds. If your gift is eligible, simply request a matching gift form or website link from your employer, and send it and your contribution to Camphill Kimberton's Development Office, or make your gift online <a href="https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E11983&id=3" target="_blank">here</a>. <br />
<br />
Some companies who have recently matched gifts are:<br />
Glaxo Smith Kline<br />
Intuit<br />
Johnson & Johnson<br />
Swiss Re<br />
UBS<br />
<br />
Feel free to contact me if you have any additional questions. Thanks for your continued support!<br />

Because I finished tallying all the day-volunteer hours for
2013 and it came to <b>9803 hours total</b>.
That is so many hours!<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
That
includes all non-resident volunteers: individuals, summer volunteers, and groups. All these interested people put in a lot of
hours collectively and we are all very grateful for that. I calculated that it would take one person
almost five years to put in that many hours, working 40 hours per week!<o:p></o:p></div>

So that is why I am celebrating! The numbers of volunteers, all of their
hours, the great help you all gave in 2013, the better system for tracking
hours that I put together with the help of my faithful volunteer-friend
Barbara, I celebrate all that, and ask you to celebrate, too! Keep volunteering. Bring a group out to work for the day. Do the day-volunteer ‘victory dance’ when you
finish a hard day of work. It all goes to a
great cause here at Camphill Village Kimberton Hills.</div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 12.0pt;"><br /></span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal" style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">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 </span><b style="font-size: 10pt;"><a href="https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E11983&id=4" target="_blank">Talkfest6</a></b><span style="font-size: 10pt;">! Worst of all is that many of you start harassing me about when it will
be as soon as January 1 arrives.</span></div>
</div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">I ran into a few people since
Francis Trzeciak, our great friend and the world famous Chef and Proprietor of
the <a href="http://birchrunvillestorecafe.com/">Birchrunville Store Café</a>,
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 <a href="http://www.camphillkimberton.org/">Camphill Village
Kimberton Hills</a>…where I am still President of the Board of Directors.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10pt;">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.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">Let me repeat this: you will
be at the Birchrunville Store Café on April 27 at 5:04.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">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: <a href="http://www.camphillkimberton.org/">Camphill Village Kimberton Hills</a>.
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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">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, <a href="mailto:bernadette@camphillkimberton.org">bernadette@camphillkimberton.org</a>,
or call her, 610-935-8660. Or both. Or this year you can even register online by clicking <a href="https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E11983&id=4" target="_blank">here</a>. <o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">The ridiculously low
donation? $167.23 per person. Wow! To support such a great place as <a href="http://www.camphillkimberton.org/">Camphill Village Kimberton Hills</a>. 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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="font-size: 10.0pt;">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.<o:p></o:p></span></div>

Camphill Village Kimberton Hills announces that shares are available for Sankanac CSA’s 2014 season.<br />
<br />
Part of Camphill Village Kimberton Hills, the biodynamic 15-acre garden operates as the 200-member Sankanac CSA, which stands for Community Supported Agriculture.<br />
<br />
Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) has become a popular way for consumers to buy local, seasonal food directly from a farmer. Typically a farmer offers a certain number of "shares" to the public which includes a set amount of vegetables or other farm products, based on the harvest. Participants purchase a share and in return receive seasonal produce each week throughout the farming season.<br />
<br />
The gardens of Sankanac CSA, which are organic and biodynamically farmed, are harvested each week, and shareholders can pick up their produce either on Tuesdays or Fridays for 24 weeks. There are also U-pick crops, including flowers and berries.<br />
<br />
Members can choose to purchase either a full or partial share depending on their personal needs. A full share is designed to feed a family of about four; a partial share to feed a couple, or a veggie-loving individual. The cost for a full share is $765 and a partial is $440.<br />
<br />
Sankanac CSA grows a diverse seasonal mix of vegetables, flowers, herbs, and berries and also tends a small herd of mixed livestock (sheep, goats, donkeys). The head gardener, Todd Newlin, and his wife, Mary, oversee this enterprise with a crew of over 10 gardeners (including individuals with special needs, apprentices, service volunteers, and interns).<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
The crew is deeply committed to the use of biodynamic methods, which allows them to strengthen the fragile ecosystem as well as provide food of the highest quality to our local community. Activities in the CSA include plant propagation, greenhouse management, pruning, crop cultivation, harvesting, tractor and equipment operation and maintenance, irrigation, livestock management, composting, and making/using the biodynamic preparations.<br />
<br />
The group warmly welcomes new members, and does have available shares for the upcoming season. Please email <a href="mailto:SankanacCSA@gmail.com">SankanacCSA@gmail.com</a> for more information or to request a share. <br />

Whether you participate in the drop-off or curbside tree recycling program please remember to remove all tinsel and ornaments from the tree, do not wrap the tree in plastic (it will not be picked up). Also, do not place the tree at your curbside with your trash, your hauler will take it and it will not be recycled. Any questions, call 610-933-1770. The trees we collect will be recycled into wood mulch that is available to Township residents in the Spring.<br />

This restricted fund will help support current and immediate needs specifically for aging villagers, which may include nursing care, therapy, mobility assistance (walkers, canes, etc.) and health and hygiene products.</div>
<br />
In Mrs. Huston’s words: <i>“It seems like only yesterday that Posie’s father and I sat in Hubert and Helen Zipperlen’s garden sipping lemonade and discussing the possibility of our daughter coming to live in community at Camphill Kimberton. We hoped very much that this would come to pass.</i><br />

They were happy days of adjusting to a new life: making friends, having a roommate and houseparents, learning how to bake bread and make cookies, how to pick apples and work with Martha in the orchard, how to ring a handbell in the Bell Choir, how to ride a horse, how to bowl and hit a home run. It was altogether a new and wonderful world that opened up for our daughter.<br /><br />As she grew, she learned to take responsibilities seriously: to be on time for work and to work with other people. She was encouraged to be as independent as she could be, and to be proud of a job well done. All the while, Posie and her peers were and still are cared for by wonderfully wise houseparents and coworkers, who dedicate their lives to our very special children. </i></div>
<i><br />The years slip by too quickly and suddenly those young people are beginning to age. My daughter can no longer run like a deer, swim or bowl. Working in the orchard has become increasingly difficult. She has problems with balance and depth perception. Posie now needs help with dressing, bathing and expressing herself verbally. <br /><br />Posie’s wonderful houseparents and coworkers look after my daughter and try their very best to keep her safe. For all of this, we as a family are very, very grateful. As time goes by and the community ages, our vibrant children are slowing down and it is our responsibility to look to the future for villagers when they can no longer work in the garden, the barn, the orchard, or the weavery.<br /><br />Serena House is certainly part of the answer for now, but will it be enough as more and more villagers need individual attention? Surely we will need to expand. There will also be a need for more nursing care and more health care supplies. I see the need right now with my own daughter and think of all the other villagers going down the same path. <br /><br />We must move ahead to prepare for the next stage of life at Camphill Kimberton. We must provide funding that will enable our villagers to continue to live out their lives as happily and peacefully as possible in the wonderful place that has been their home for so many years.”</i><br />
<br />
Posie (pictured below, in 2012) is only 52 years old, however, she and her peers with developmental disabilities begin the aging process earlier than many other adults. Currently 2/3 of our residents are over the age of 50. <br />
