Good News Feb. 2021 (Volume 47 No. 4)

February for several people is a time to visit Florida! I have done so several years. However, with the spread of COVID-19, it is not practical for me to travel this year.

There are many people who are playing a variety of card games with their neighbors and friends and theyare enjoying their company and taking the situation in the world as a chance to step back and enjoy a bit of a slower pace.

God is a loving Father who wants our happiness. Now is the time to ask God to give you an interesting and enjoyable life. Besides card playing, praying should be a big part of February. There is much to pray for. I hope that you could pray for the people here at Sharing Meadows!

Due to COVID-19, we have decided to turn our Spring Luncheon into a Fall Luncheon! Our current date is set for Wednesday, October 20, 2021 at the Halls of St. George in Schererville, IN. Stay tuned for more details regarding the luncheon later this year. Thank you for your support of this event!

Growing up in Bristol, IN in the middle of the woods, I realized from a young age that when there is bad weather in the forecast, you run home to fill your bath tub! If you lose power when you have a septic field and well water, you will not have running water to use the restroom in your house. It was my job during a storm to fill the bath tub. I must admit, there was a time I forgot to fill the tub and let me tell you, I never forgot again!

At Sharing Meadows, we have the same problem when we lose power. Currently, we have generators at our St. Timothy Center (Camp Building), Senior Center, and Office. If our power is out for a significant amount of time, our Villagers can go to the Camp Building to shower, use the restroom, and stay until the power comes back on because we have generator power. However, there are problems with this plan. What happens when the Camp Building generator doesn’t work? This has happened multiple times in the past. What happens when the camp is running at the Camp Building and Villagers do not have anywhere to sleep with running water because the Camp Building is full? What happens when a retreat rental is going on? What happens when we can’t drive to the Camp Building because the weather is bad? Potential problems arise and the list goes on and on when Sharing Meadows does not have power.

We have begun to add generators to each Village! So far, we have purchased one generator and have had two generators donated to us through Current Electric in Michigan City and another generous donor! I have also added two more generators to be purchased in 2021’s budget! This is an exciting time for the Villagers and I am very excited to see their reaction.

The current plan is to have one generator in each village. There is a basement under one house in each village and in those basements are the water softeners, pumps, etc. Our plan is to install the generators at the house with the basement so that, at the very least, the entire village will have running water! As time goes on, we will continue to add generators into our operating budget so that each house has a working generator to supply power to the homes. This way, no matter what the outside weather or situation, our Villagers and Campers will always have running water, unspoiled food in their refrigerators, and heat to stay warm in the winter months.

Our Villagers and Campers deserve the absolute best in life and that is what we are trying to provide for them at Sharing Meadows. Through your generosity you are providing an incredible quality of life to our friends. You are bringing them out of the dark and making their homes even safer! If you would like to donate to the generator project, please write in the memo portion of your donation “Share Generators.” Thank you for your kindness and for your support of our mission. The Villagers and Campers thank you!

God’s blessings come when needed! Last year, the camp program was blessed during the pandemic. On March 15th, I gathered my office supplies in a box to work from home. I recall the voice of the Holy Spirit guiding me to go back into my office and pack up my camper’s photos to take them home. I didn’t understand why at the time, but Jesus knew I’d need a reminder of their presence. I’ve visited the office a few times in the last year. I’m working from home and have been since that day. The camper’s photos are still on my refrigerator. We were unable to hold monthly mini-camps or summer camp in person, but we were able to meet with each other and fellowship in a unique way – virtually!

In March of 2020, we found out about Zoom – a now widely known method of virtual video conference calling. We started off with a monthly Zoom call where we held our value sessions. When the campers asked to meet more often that spring we met a few times for activities like virtual bingo nights, talent shows, hikes, and museum visits. In May, the campers asked to meet once a week for Value Sessions or Bible studies. I’ll never forget why they asked… They simply said, “We want to focus on God and His love for us when the world feels upside down.” I needed a reminder of God’s love, too. How could we continue the camp program into the summer with no staff? God sent 4 counselors to us from Notre Dame University through the Center for Social Concerns Virtual Summer Service Corps. Thanks to this program, we received staff funded by Notre Dame to work for us. Thanks to counselors “Gumbo”, “Isabella”, “ZigZag”, and “Hayley”, we were able to host a free daily virtual summer camp for 8 weeks. During those 8 weeks, we traveled around the virtual world, made cookies together, wrote stories, crafted, and learned new sports together. For the rest of the year, we held weekly Bible studies and met throughout the week on Zoom calls. I was blessed to see a few campers in person during socially distant visits!

In January of 2021, Notre Dame University sent us 2 more counselors for a free daily virtual winter camp. Thanks to “Z” and “Lu” our numbers have grown to 10 campers each Zoom call! Notre Dame noticed the success of our camp program and invited me to speak at the Center for Social Concern’s Bi-annual Catholic Social Tradition Conference on a panel titled “Hearing the Gospel and Spreading the Good News” on Friday, March 26, 2021 from 4-5:15 pm ET via Zoom. I’ll be sharing the story of what brought me to Camp Sharing Meadows, how the Gospels infuse our work, and what difference it makes in campers’ lives. If you’d like to attend, there will be free open registration and information will be updated on this website link: https://socialconcerns.nd.edu/justiceintheworld. We would love for others to attend and participate in the discussions following the panels!

God has blessed us in 2020, and we can see His hand on our campers’ lives during 2021! For the future, we plan on having free weekly virtual Bible studies and a monthly Saturday virtual mini-camp for a small fee. If you would like to join us or know someone who’d benefit from our camp program, please contact me at [email protected]. Because of people like you, we can continue our camp program! Let’s make sure we continue to grow.

A very special thank you to Integrity Trade Services for their generous donation to be named as a “ Food and Essential Goods Sponsorship.” With their gift, all thirty of our Villagers’ were fed breakfast, lunch, and dinner for one whole month! God bless them and God bless all of our donors!

Unfortunately, due to COVID-19, we have decided to cancel our St. Patrick’s Day Celebration. We hope to celebrate this day with you next year!

Memorials are a special way to honor the memory of a loved one or to celebrate a special occasion for ourselves, our family, or our friends. We are grateful for all memorial donations, large and small, that we receive. We would like to remind you that our policy is that thank you letters and acknowledgment cards are not sent for any memorials received that are less than $10.00 per name. They will be printed in the GOOD NEWS but no cards or letters will be sent. Due to the increasing cost of paper, postage and time to send cards and letters, it is not good stewardship to spend the donations you have entrusted to us to fill mailboxes with mail.

Memorial donations of $10.00 or more per name will continue to be handled with a thank you letter acknowledgment to family and listing in the newsletter. If you do not require a thank you letter, please mark the envelope so that we can code your account and we can save the cost of a letter and use the funds for our programs for other-abled people. Thank you for your understanding!

Just a friendly reminder that all memorials are due by the 15th of each month in order to be printed in the following month’s GOOD NEWS. For example, if you want to have a memorial printed in the March issue, your memorial needs to arrive in our office by February 15th . Share Foundation has a deadline to meet as well with our printer and if we do not have your memorial by the 15th of each month, your memorial will be delayed an additional month. Thank you for your understanding!
