Summer Institute Milestone
The Summer Institute Planning Committee reached a milestone with the posting of the SI 2008 brochure and registration form online at omdsi.org and the OMD Website.
The brochure will also be e-mailed to more than 200 past attendees of SI who have told us they would accept a brochure online vs. the more expensive and not-so-environmentally-friendly paper brochure sent via snail mail. It’s not too late to get the brochure via e-mail. Just drop a note to omdsi2008 at gmail.com
Once you open the 2008 Summer Institute brochure I know you’ll be impressed with the variety of workshops, the entertainment options, and the quality of our Theme Speaker for 2008 – Meg Barnhouse.
We’ve kept all your old SI favorites, but added new experiences I hope you’ll like. The Planning Committee also listened to your concerns. We’re inaugurating The Canteen in 2008, an alcohol-free space where youth and adults can hangout after evening Vespers, drinking cool ice tea or hot java. There will be board games, card games, live music, and conversation. The Young Adult dorm will also have alcohol-free rooms available.
The small-group ensemble concert has been expanded to a second night, Tie-dyeing will be every afternoon, and OMD’s district executive, Joan Van Becelaere, will direct the reader’s theatre Katrina/Ultreya to benefit the rebuilding of the Unitarian Universalist Church in New Orleans.
There is so much more to experience at Summer Institute 2008 at Kenyon College in Gambier, Ohio, from July 13 to July 19. Just click on the link to the brochure and read all about it.
