<div>Dear Friends of Dacia Horn,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>You likely know Dacia as the former Chef, Events/Facilities Coordinator, and Beating Heart of Friends School!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Many of you know Dacia through her many years of service and love as the chef of Friends School in Boulder. We invite her cherished friends and family to share their appreciation, gratitude, and support for Dacia Horn during a very challenging time of transition for her. Dacia has shared her specific needs in the letter below. Please join us in this opportunity to love and support Dacia as she has so generously loved all of us, our children, and our families through the years.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>With gratitude,
</div>
<div>Friends of Dacia
</div>
<div><br />

</div>
<div>Dear Friend,
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I hope you and your family are well. It’s been a while, and I’ve missed our connection.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>I'm reaching out because I had to leave my job as a school chef two years ago due to issues beyond my control. As you might imagine, these past couple of years have been overwhelming and relatively heartbreaking for me. To make matters worse, I now find myself in a situation where I'm losing my home and facing numerous challenges that I could really use some help with:
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>1. **Housing:** I must move out by September 19th and have been searching for low-income senior rentals, but it’s complicated and time is not on my side. Please let me know if you know of any affordable, pet-friendly rentals or any place I could stay. This GoFundMe will allow for messages regarding housing information.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>2. **Downsizing:** I’m preparing to move and want to find new homes for many of my belongings, including cooking and catering items. I’ll be hosting an estate sale on the weekend of September 7th and 8th (tentatively). I'd greatly appreciate it if you’re available to help with the sale. Please come by and bring a friend! If interested message Dacia by hitting CONTACT on this Go Fund Me site!
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>3. **Moving Expenses:** While I'm hoping to stay in the Boulder County area, I may have to move to a more affordable community, possibly even out of state. I have set up a GoFundMe page to raise funds to help pay for labor, trucks, and any storage I may need, considering this short timeline. A donation would be greatly appreciated in this challenging time. Thank you for considering it.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>My work as a chef for so many children throughout the years and being immersed in a beautiful community of humans have meant more to me than you could know. I find it heartbreaking to face these realities ahead of me and even asking for help. I know that with the support of my community, I can transition to this new stage of my life with love and confidence.
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Warm regards,
</div>
<div>Dacia Horn
</div>

<div>Calling on all who have the honor of knowing Ann Larsen:  
</div>
<div><br />
</div>
<div>Anyone who has been an acquaintance of Ann can recognize that she is a  stellar woman.  Ann is a dearly loved friend, mother, sister, daughter,           co-worker and confidante.  She fills many roles in others' lives and does so selflessly.  Many of you may not be aware that she has just been diagnosed with breast cancer.     Ann has battled cancer twice over the last two              decades and has undergone treatments, surgeries, radiation, subsequent    side effects, and follow-up surgeries.  She has suffered through all of this   on her own while still holding down a full-time job and keeping her family   and animals well cared for.
</div>
<div>Ann needs the help and support we can provide for her now more than any other time.    Through her treatment and pathway to healing, there will be a great need for financial assistance, meals, drivers, companions and kind        listening ears.
</div>
<div>Please help us support and give back to Ann and let her see how much she is loved.  She gives so much in her work and her life.  She has touched so  many others' lives.       Please help us show her that we are on her team              through this trial some time.
</div>

<div>Hi my name is Izzy and I lived with my mom and my younger sister in superior Colorado. My family and I lived on Andrew drive in superior. December 30, 2021 a wildfire took our home and all of our belongings. My mom is a single mom living with us and our 3 pets if your able to donate anything would help. We don’t have a home, beds, dog food, cat food, clothes, or anything else. Please help my mom rebuild our home. I am enrolled in college and I hope to continue my education despite these circumstances. Anything helps, and please hug your loved ones and your pets because you never know what tomorrow will bring.
</div>

Help us rebuild our home

<p><br />
</p>

<p>This go fund me is through the Helio Foundation. It is being run by people who live in Terrebonne Parish. Directors Johnathan Foret &amp; Reagan Creppel have been social workers for our people and are on the ground with Dirk Guidry helping people stationed at the Ward 7 in Chauvin, LA. They are from the area and understand the needs of their people. 

</p>

<p><br />
</p>

<p>We are raising cash money to put in the hands of people in our bayou communities who have lost their homes. We have already started handing out $400 cash payments. Please help us continue this operation.

</p>

<p><br />
</p>

<p>We are also providing Ice, Water and Gas. We are mobilizing supplies to reach the lower bayou parishes in Terrebonne Parish. We will be setting up stations to cook hot meals so residents can have a nourishing meal while they try to recover from Hurricane Ida.

</p>

<p><br />
</p>

<p>This will be an ongoing recovery and we intend to help our people with everything from filling out FEMA vouchers to finding them a place to take a

</p>

<p>bath.

HELLO REEL KIDS FAMILIES!!!<br /><br />We have some updates! <br />FIRST OF all-- PLEASE come to our <strong>Reel Kids open house  and concert! Saturday August 21st from 6-9pm-</strong>-we will be having Reel Kids and Boulder Music students perform,hors d'oeuvres, some new improvements to show up, and architectural drawings on what we have left to do! Your will be able to donate specifically to items still in need and see the "larger vision!"<br /><br /><strong>What will be done by our Open House?</strong>? Oh my... we will have entry way floors, doors and a good start on the theater space where will be performing! <br /><br /><strong>What are we doing now? </strong>Trying to finish the larger construction. Thanks to the generosity of our community, we had two wonderful men, one a contractor, and the other a jack-of-all-trades, come out for the price of pizza and salad, and literally, frame three rooms in the large open space. (pictured above). We now have framing for two dressing rooms and a prop and costume room, COMPLETE and to code. They accomplished it in 8 hours... it was by far, amazing. They also lent us a truck to purchase drywall--which we still need to hang--anyone know how to hang drywall? Ha--it's not super hard.. but it's a lot of drywall, 49 sheets to be exact. <br /><br />It's hard to plan a dry-wall-hanging-party when we are working sooo many camps. This week alone we had our Acting for Film 1 (with a waitlist of 13 students!) and rehearsals for "25th Annual Putnam County Spelling Bee" AND tech week and shows for Mary Poppins Jr.. plus, my own studio of 26 private weekly voice students at Boulder Music..It was a whirlwind, and it only gets MORE busy for us. Hard to plan painting and drywall days around the other 60 hours of actually class room time! But, it must be done! Your encouraging thoughts are appreciated :) <br /><br />We are attempting to hang doors! FINALLY we found three discounted pre-hung doors (searching all the Home Depots in the area) and are attempting... to hang them in our new rooms... Helpful hints? This should be interesting :). <br /><br /><strong>What do we need help with? </strong><br />1.    Do you know anyone that needs extra work to help hang drywall--there's just SO many pieces!<br /><br />2.    The hallway and bathrooms adjacent theater are still floor-less. The quotes we received for flooring were WAYY too much to consider. Does anyone have connection or idea? it's about 800 sq feet, and we were going to use LVT (luxury vinyl tile/planks) because they can go over the rough-glue-cemnet and wheel chair ramps we have in our awkward half-circle hallway... yet that stuff is EXPENSIVE... I've been looking diligently on craigslist, and do know how to install that flooring myself... but it is SUPER time consuming and hard... Any ideas or help would be so appreciated! <br /><br />3.  Bathroom vanities--Ok, perhaps I'm being "vain" but the bathrooms are big, AND THERE ARE MULTIPLES!!! and the new paint I gave them gussied them up a bit, but the sink area looks like a warehouse sink from the 90's.. If anyone is getting rid of a small-ish vanity with faucet--please consider donating to us! it would be so pretty.. and I can't justify a couple hundred dollars when it's not "needed", I just can't look at the sink! lol <br /><br />4. SPREAD THE WORD! THANK You so much for your donations... this is possibly the scariest thing I've personally ever done and I super appreciate all the support! Help us continue that support so we can finish in time for fall classes! SHARE THIS GOFUNDME :) <br /><br /><br />Thank you:) <br /><br />Sincerely, <br />Kari <br /><br /><br />_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br /><br />Note -- we would deeply appreciate <em>any</em> kind of donation of time, material, or money you can afford.. no amount is too small. Because we are at the tail end of a pandemic, we can't even entertain this idea without upfront capital... PLEASE help us so we can continue offering the same outstanding education, entertainment and wonderfully nurturing environment we have for almost nine years, but in a much more professional, state-of-the-art and kid-friendly space!!!<br /><br />Link to our weekly blog!

Reel Kids EXPANDS

Hello Druidawn Fans!  <br /><br />We did it!  We just acquired a 501c3 nonprofit status for our scholarship program, Druidawn Academy!  Anyone who donated funds to our program in the year 2018 or later can now claim it as a tax deduction and we can give you a receipt for your donation.<br /><br />Thank you all again for the amazing support you have provided our services over the years!  Thank you for your wonderful testimonials and generous donations!!  <br /><br />Over the past couple of years since we began this GoFundMe project, we have re-examined our long-term goals and have decided to change our focus for now.  Though everything listed below still applies, what has become more important for us to focus on in the meantime is our scholarship fund, Druidawn Academy.  Yes, we still need funding in order to find and train new teachers and to ultimately create a permanent base of operations, but we also need your help to support students who can't afford our services on their own.  We are very driven to find students of low income who have great imaginations and whose needs are not being fully met in the public school system.  We don't want Druidawn to be reserved for just the privileged.  <br /><br />We have always offered our own scholarships to children in need (for writing clubs as well as summer camps), but it would be great to be able to do this by pulling money from a reserve scholarship fund rather than from our own meager income.  <br /><br />So from this point on, the first $20,000 we raise will go exclusively to help pay for students who cannot otherwise afford our services. It will also go toward helping us find and train the qualified teachers to serve them.   As soon as we build up a bit more funding, we'll send out advertisements for scholarships in low income communities.  We're excited to have a chance to work with these invisible children who need our services the most!<br />___________________________________________________________<br /><br />OLD POSTING:<br /><br />Thank you all so much for helping Druidawn to grow so quickly!  It’s incredibly gratifying to know that over the past 25 years, our unique creative writing system has encouraged thousands of reluctant students to overcome their anxiety and become productive, even enthusiastic young writers!  We now have a long wait list of students who wish to enroll in our services who have sadly been waiting months for us to train new teachers.  It really is time for us to take the next steps toward Druidawn expansion.  We need to search for talented teachers who can learn to do what we do.  We need to realize our long-term dream and create Druidawn Academy at last - a non-profit permanent home for our popular Summer Fantasy Camp as well as a place that offers all kinds of interactive enrichment classes, such as Druidawn creative writing, live-action history, interpretive reading, and hands-on science.  And ultimately, we need to create a mobile unit that can take our summer camps and in-person writing clubs to schools all over the United States.  Yes, we dream big, but you never know what is actually possible if you don’t have big dreams!<br /><br />We can’t do any of these things without your help.  We, (Miriam and Cara), have maxed-out our schedules working with writing clubs and private clients, and without some financial backing, we will be unable to take the next steps toward expanding Druidawn.  We realize that we will need to move into supervisory positions as we hire more teachers because we will be responsible for training and watching over these new people, but don’t worry, we won’t be abandoning any of our own students in the process.  We’ll make this work as long as possible.  But we do have to face the fact that we won’t be able to keep up our current pace forever, and when it finally does come time for us to step into supervisory positions full time, we’ll need to have amazing teachers in place who can carry on our work!<br /><br /><br /><strong>Our Plan for Expansion:</strong><br /><br /><strong>Phase 1:  ($20,000 Goal)<br /><br />We find and train new teachers.  For this we’ll need:</strong><br /><br />·         An office that we can use as a training facility<br /><br />·         An advertising budget so we can get the word out<br /><br />·         A travel budget so we can fly teachers in from other states for training<br /><br />·         Compensation funds so we can pay our new teachers while they train<br /><br /><strong>Phase 2:  ($200,000 Goal)<br /><br />We find investors who want to help us build our Non-Profit Druidawn Academy!  For this we’ll need:</strong><br /><br />·         A building large enough to support at least six classrooms as well as the most amazing indoor and outdoor LARPing playground anyone has ever seen, complete with a castle, a pirate ship, a forest, and mountains to climb! (LARP = Live Action Role Playing, like what we do with swords outside during summer camp)<br /><br />·         An advertising budget<br /><br />·         An administrative staff<br /><br />·         Seed money to help us get our first two years off     the ground until the center can fully sustain itself<br /><br /><strong>Phase 3:  ($150,000 Goal)<br /><br />We create a mobile unit to travel to schools all over the country.  For this we’ll need:</strong><br /><br />·         2 or 3 minivans<br /><br />·         A travel budget<br /><br />·         An advertising and insurance budget<br /><br />·         Trained teachers who we can trust to do it right!<br /><br /> <br />We want to take things step-by-step, so for now, we’re just trying to raise funds for <strong>Phase 1</strong> of our project.  Of course we’re always open to speaking with investors who might be interested in helping us to build <strong>Phases 2 and 3</strong>, but we can’t begin to plan for those parts until we find teachers, which is an arduous task all on its own!  Our teachers need to have a background in working with students with unique learning needs.  They need to be reliable, mature and have excellent classroom management skills.  They need to have great imaginations and a passion for the fantasy/science fiction genre as well as be capable fiction writers themselves.  They need to be outgoing and entertaining, creative and playful, and they need to have some experience with role playing games.  It is also important that they have a good rapport with parents.  Lastly, we’re only interested in finding teachers who are in a position to guarantee that they won’t abandon our students in just a year’s time, because as you all know, our kids get rather attached!  LOL!  Yes, it’s a very tall order to fill, which is why we need to look nationwide for just the right people.<br /><br /> <br />For those of you who are new to Druidawn, where have you been?  Just kidding!  Welcome aboard this amazing journey.  Please check out our website to learn more about us and what we do: www.creative-writing-solutions.com.  Druidawn is a creative writing system that utilizes the magic of fantasy role playing as a tool to get kids excited to write.  Even our most reluctant writers who struggle with dyslexia, ADHD, Asperger Syndrome and other barriers respond incredibly well to the Druidawn writing system.  All they need to have is a good imagination and an ability to talk (or communicate by some other means).  The system is designed to excite the imagination and to reward the writing process in a way that most kids can relate to.  <br /><br />We also offer private tutoring services to help students with mechanics such as grammar, spelling, punctuation, sentence structure, ideas, organization, expression, and other written skills, since we only cover the subject of writing content during our clubs and interactive summer camps. Fiction writing “content” includes subjects such as character development, dialogue structure, description, setting, symbolism, plot development, etc.  Please see our long list of testimonials from parents to better understand how our writing system affects students.  <br /><br />We work with students all over the United States as well as other countries such as France, Australia, New Zealand, India, Japan, and England who participate in our very successful online creative writing clubs.  We use Skype video conferencing in order to reach your children from home no matter where you live!  Our Druidawn Summer Fantasy Camp is currently held at Mackintosh Academy in Boulder, Colorado (mackintoshacademy. com), but if all goes well with our future plans, we will one day be able to bring our summer camp to your area!  We have already received numerous invitations to bring our camp to Denver, Seattle, San Francisco, New York, Chicago, and North Carolina and have had to turn everyone down because we just don’t have the staff!  With your help, we could change this problem and begin to finally say “YES!”

Help Druidawn Expand!
