CJL's 90th Reunion!

Hello, alums!

I hope you're gearing up for an awesome summer. How would you like to kick off that awesome summer with a fabulous weekend trip up to Lookout Mountain? This year is CJL's 90th anniversary, and we have a fantastic Reunion Weekend planned!

Reunion is Friday, June 1 - Sunday June 3, and you can download your reservation form to send in from the CJL website. Be sure to do this soon, though, because spots are filling up fast, and we may not have enough seats in the dining hall for everyone who wants to be a part of the weekend.

One of the big things we're doing this year is holding a silent auction that will benefit the Endowment Fund. The Endowment Fund was established to guarantee the future of CJL should we face difficult times, much like an insurance fund that provides income for the future of the camp. Our goal is to band one million dollars by 2022, which is CJL's 100th anniversary. We hope that we can raise $30,000 each year for the Fund, and by the power of compound interest, that will put us at our goal!

For the auction, we'll have art pieces donated by camp's many talented artists, as well as themed baskets donated by alums. If you can't make it to Reunion, don't worry--we plan to put up photos of the baskets and items online, on Facebook here and here, and on the CJL website. Click on the "For Alumnae" tab and there will be a link to "Silent Auction 2012." If you see things you like and want to make a bid by proxy, e-mail us at CJLalum@gmail.com and let us know the highest amount you'd be willing to bid, and we'll do the bidding for you!

If you're interested in donating items for the auction (art, gift certificates, vacations, gadgets, treasures, services, baskets, experiences, anything), send us an e-mail at the above address and we'll get with you. Remember that donations are tax deductible.

We hope to see you on the mountain soon!!
