SAVE PEACE CABIN JAM: ZZZZ VOLUNTEERS Deadline 9/8!



I'm looking forward to some wonderful late night music/song sessions in the Peace Cabin this year. I'll bet you are too.

More and more people, though, want a quiet place to sleep and only eleven people have said they'd be willing to stay where the music goes on most of the night. We need at least 22. Will 12 more volunteer sleeping in the Peace Cabin (brownie points plus a small discount for those who take an upper berth)? If not, we'll have to move the late night sessions to Eiler's Dining Hall (the old dining hall where we do evening concerts).

The music and good times will flourish in both places, but they are certainly less intimate and cozy. Interestingly enough, a lot of the musical night owls say they enjoy jamming and singing till the wee hours but do not feel they can sleep with the noise around them. Another has said he can sleep with the noise at night but cannot sleep with the noise from Peace Cabin Workshops in the AM.

Cause of the problem: Our room assignments guru, Jennifer Woods, says there are not enough heated cabins to accommodate all who request quiet sleeping space, so we MUST have a near capacity crowd of sleepers at the Peace Cabin/

Please let me know if you and your companion(s) are willing to nod off with angelic voices, strings, and an occasional bongo for accompaniment. Deadline is September 8th-- the cay after labor day-- when I will pass the names and email addresses of volunteers to Jennifer. At that time she has to start arranging the cabins-- a Herculean task because of so many special needs, wants, and human relationships. Half the fun of the getaway is that she does such a good job of this!

Thanks for weighing in--

Lisa
