100 Years of Chewonki
Chewonki is pleased to announce that Advisory Board members Scott Beebe and Roseanne Saalfield have agreed to serve as co-chairs of the newly formed Chewonki Centennial Committee. Chewonki will celebrate its 100-year anniversary in 2015, and plans are beginning to take shape for this momentous affair.
Roseanne and Scott will each serve a two-year term of this ad hoc board committee to help guide the centennial planning process. Others who have agreed to participate are former Chewonki presidents Tim Ellis and Don Hudson, a former Camp Director Dick Thomas.
Next steps involve recruiting more committee members and laying out a time-line from now through 2015. The first two years of the committee’s work will focus on archive work and documenting Chewonki’s history. The second two will also include fund-raising and planning for the celebration.
Chewonki’s Advancement Team, consisting of the president, CFO and directors of development, communications, and alumni affairs, will work closely with this committee and welcomes input. It also welcomes volunteers. Anyone who would like to be involved should contact Chewonki at
