We’ve got the best news! The Mockingbird Foundation has generously granted us the funds to record our 2009 campers in a studio for a professional compilation album!

We’re just about ready to make some more big announcements — for our silent auction in early summer, for our gear drive in late May & for the big Kahuna, CAMP!

In the meantime, our PR lady Megan has been working overtime: she & Beth just did an interview on G-Town Radio on Sunday (soon to be up in podcast form).
