Donate to Summer Scholarships for Camps (CAKE)

Each summer MoCo Arts awards scholarships to about 50 deserving students in order that they might attend our Creative Arts at Keene (CAKE) camps in downtown Keene. These scholarships enable children, who would otherwise be home alone, to immerse themselves in the arts. In doing so, they join hundreds of other kids, learning the meaning of commitment, perseverance and teamwork. Together they have fun, they work hard to succeed and they find fulfillment in personal creative expression. If you would like to support a local child, please send your donation to MoCo Arts Scholarship Fund, 76 Railroad Street, Keene, NH 03431. And thanks!

Coming to Peace With Where You Are
Life is supposed to be fun. All is well, really, it is. We are each leading edge genius creators. That which you are experiencing in your life is a vibrational match to the thoughts you think. When we are in alignment with our Source energy, we feel good. This feeling of “good” has the capacity to guide us with ease and grace through every moment of our lives. Do these concepts sound as fascinating to you as they do to me? Come learn; let yourself be uplifted and transformed by this life-giving body of material, called The Teachings of Abraham. We will view DVDs and discuss how to apply these principles in practical living. If you are not already familiar with Abraham-Hicks material, some homework needs to be done in advance of the first meeting. Books/CDs/DVDs available on loan from WSW Center. Women and men welcome. Held at Women Supporting Women Center, located at 111 Water Street, Exeter, NH. For registration or information, contact 603-772-0799 or www.wswcenter.com.
