Helping Hearts and Hands at the Hollow
The heartbeat at the Hollow is strong, the energy alive and the spaces warm and welcoming thanks to the generous giving of time, loving work, money and intention over the 2007 season.
It has been wonderful to welcome home Hollowers of years past and new faces. Much fun has been had in the kitchen and on projects on the grounds and buildings. Perron, Rosa's, , Dee's and Kaye's cabins as well as the main house and staff house have received refreshing refurbishing thanks to hearts and hands who've given generously with the Hollow in mind.
Have no fear though, there's always plenty left to do and the call goes out to you to come give from your heart and be filled with the joy and satisfaction that comes from being part of keeping such a beautiful place as Pumpkin Hollow alive and well for the benefit of all. Please join us for one or more of the work weekends in the spring and consider a week, month or even the season of giving a helping hand here. Living and working here at the Hollow is a very fulfilling adventure that we hope to share with you in the 2008 season. The more hearts and hands the merrier as the heart of the Hollow swells and shares it's magic with all who come to visit.
The "Adopt-A" program has been alive and well! We've seen 2 cabins benefit hugely by some of our dear friends' specified monetary gifts toward them. We've seen windows, curtains, floors, beds and decor, furniture and a station wagon arrive out of generous hearts. Remember too that the "adopt-a" program can be applied to your paying special attention to some space of the Hollow's grounds and gardens with your physical and/or monetary support.
Thanks from the heart of the Hollow to all who have participated in the wonderful year we've had in 2007!!!
