>> Greetings to all!  
>> 
>> As we begin a new year (where did January go?) , I’m writing to bring you up 
>> to date on Camp Shakespeare.  As many of you know, Robin and I learned in 
>> June—just before we began the 2018 sessions—that we would be losing our 
>> campsite at Briarfield, our home for the last 7 years.  One of the owners is 
>> very ill and they’ve decided to sell the property.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> So in August, with brilliant performances of The Comedy of Errors and A 
>> Midsummer Night’s Dream behind us, we began a search for a new site.  And 
>> found one almost immediately!  It is called “Rancho Pillow.”  Google it when 
>> you have time.  It is a very comfortable, creative, environment.  My first 
>> thought was that it would also be a great place for the 50th reunion!  It 
>> even has an air-conditioned tepee with a king-sized bed! 
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> Anyway, that’s just the beginning of new things for Camp Shakespeare in 
>> 2019.  Here are some more:  we will be exploring The Merchant of Venice in 
>> Session 1 and Hamlet in Session 2 and having FOUR performances of each play 
>> rather than our usual three..  And to our usual venues at Winedale, Henkel 
>> Hall in Round Top and the Crystal Theater in Gonzales, we are adding The 
>> Scottish Rite Theater in Austin (thanks to Susan Todd), for matinee 
>> performances.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> And we have added one day to each session, giving us the advantage of an 
>> evening performance at Winedale for the first time!  We have also set a much 
>> earlier deadline for applications: March 1 rather than April 1.  And, 
>> because our operating costs are about to rise with the new setting and 
>> escalating food costs, we have raised the Camp Fee from $1,000 to $1,500.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> So a lot of new things.  And we are pleased to note that we have already 
>> received some 35 applications for next summer and with each one, we get more 
>> excited.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> And we are learning that many applicants will require financial assistance.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> To make our budget we will need funding from the private sector, so please 
>> consider sending a gift.  Your support in the past has made possible not 
>> only scholarship monies for financially disadvantaged kids but our van 
>> rental and other operating costs.  This year I project our need at $18,000.
>> 
>>  
>> 
>> Robin and I treasure your contribution because you are a special part of the 
>> Shakespeare at Winedale program.  Thanks for considering a gift to Camp 
>> Shakespeare.
>>

>> 
>> As usual, you may send a check to Camp Shakespeare at PO Box 202, Round
>> 
>> Top Texas 78954. Please make it “to” The University of Texas and mark it
