7 Saturday Workshop Session 1: 9:00am 10:30am Title Description Hosted By For Book Group -- Hiroshima tie in Last year, a small group of us read The Beautiful Things That Heaven Bears and had a lovely discussion in the chapel by the bay. This year, I would like to read When The Emperor Was Divine by Julie Otsuka. In short, lyric prose, the book tells the story of one Japanese American family from Berkeley, CA that was split apart and sent to an internment camp during WWII. It is a sad tale, beautifully written...and it is short. Read the book in advance (it should only take a day or two to read), and come ready to discuss. See you there! Otsuka/dp/ /ref=sr_1_1?s=books&ie=UTF8&qid= &sr=1-1&keywords=when+the+emperor+was+divine Topher Kandik Adults only The Art of Listening and Being Listened To Have you ever just wanted to unload about work or your day?

8 Saturday Session 1 Continued Title Description Hosted By For Windsurfing Try windsurfing! Windsurfing is the simplest form of sailing, a green wind-powered activity that can connect with our bodies, the wind, and the water. (Quite literally -- sploosh!) You'll learn from an experienced instructor how to get onto the board, raise the sail, and use the wind to explore the waterfront. Instruction will emphasize safety and fun. It's a myth that you have to be strong to windsurf. Modern equipment is light, and participants will learn techniques to preserve their arms and backs. Bring a sense of adventure, and a willingness to fall into the water. Jane Rigby 13 and up Windsurfing requires precautions to be done safely. You must wear a life jacket (provided). YOU MUST BRING YOUR OWN FOOT PROTECTION, for example water booties or old sneakers. Teva-style sandals are permitted but discouraged, as they do not protect toes. BRING SUN PROTECTION (sunscreen, lip balm, a hat, and a rashguard or old T-shirt). If you have your own wetsuit or life jacket, bring it.after the half-day workshop concludes, participants will be able to practice on their own when the waterfront is open Weekend on the Bay Program DRAFT Page 8 of 19

Kim Vitelli All ages Camp Choir Because huntergatherers never had charge cards: Practical tips and insights on personal finance and happiness Zen Poetry Frisbee Golf Planning For Happiness In Part 1, we will have fun learning and singing songs that accentuate how great it is to be together in such a wonderful outdoor setting. Part 2 of this workshop takes place at the Sunday morning worship, where we will sing two or three songs perfected in Part 1. Are you human? If so, you probably stress over love and finances. Focusing on the latter, Bill Varettoni draws on real life anecdotes and insights from 4 years of running Community Ladders, a social enterprise that does holistic financial planning with a membership that spans unemployed students through couples pulling in over half a million a year. Bill will share stories, behavioral insights, and practical tips for thinking about your finances. Mixing cynicism toward the financial industry with the hilarity of human folly, this fast-paced seminar is still less fun than the other activities at WOB. ;-) Read, hear poetry / Frisbees then fly long and true / Breathe in, out; relax. Whether things are going great or you re struggling a bit, it s worth spending a little time figuring out what makes you happy and what inhibits happiness. We ll do some art, reflection, and planning; you ll leave with three action items to brighten up your life.

11 Saturday Session 2 Continued Title Description Hosted By For Introducing Clearness Gatherings We all face difficult, fundamental questions in life: should I move? Should I marry? Marry? Seek to become a parent? Change jobs (or even professions)? Retire? For centuries, Quakers have sought aid in answering such questions by calling four to six fellow members to ask open, honest questions to those confronting an important decision -- not to advise them, but to help them hear their own inner voice. We are now introducing that practice of Clearness Gatherings at All Souls. We will begin the workshop with a journaling exercise to reflect privately about some aspect of our lives in seeking greater clarity. We won't have time for a Clearness Gathering, but will describe the practice to help prepare those who wish to participate in a Clearness Gathering in the future.

Below are some suggested locations The Fish Whistle in Chestertown. On the Chester River at 98 Cannon Street. See the map below and to the right. Waterman s Crab House in Rock Hall. Intentionally miss the turn-off to Chestertown, and blissfully continue down rural Route 298, and then Route 20, until you reach the small town of Rock Hall. See the map to the left.

Optional Outing: Afterwards, intrepid folks can continue to Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge for hiking and bird-watching Weekend on the Bay Program DRAFT Page 16 of 19

17 More About Kent County, Maryland Chestertown Chestertown is the last major town on the way to Camp Tockwogh, about 12 miles or 25 minutes away. If you want to stay off-site, check out the Chestertown lodging options (and book them as early as possible before you register for the Weekend on the Bay) at: Here are some Chestertown recommendations, courtesy of Jillian Gibson, who grew up there: Favorite place for coffee: Play it Again, Sam's on Cross Street in the center of town has great coffee and muffins. It also pours and sells wine for those so interested. Rita's on Washington Avenue near the college is good for ice cream and other sweets. O'Connor's Pub which is on the northern end of High Street (near the intersection of Route 20 and 291) is a decent Irish-style pub with yummy pub fare. I've not been to Brooks Tavern, which is on the northern end of High Street, but I understand it's decent - closed on Sundays. Blue Heron - a lovely restaurant on Cannon Street just off Cross in the center of town. Closed on Sundays - very nice, excellent food. Slightly more upscale evening out. Imperial Hotel - excellent restaurant - the most upscale in town, I believe. It's open 7 days a week. Reservations a must. Expensive for Chestertown. Village Bakery and Cafe is in the shopping center on the north end of town, close to the Worton Road turnoff that takes you to Tockwogh. Good food for breakfast or lunch. Open 7 days a week. Lockbriar Farms ( is at Worton Road. It s directly on the way to Camp Tockwogh, after you pass through Chestertown, just after you turn off Route 213 and turn onto Route 297 (Worton Road). Chances are good you might see some other ASC folks at Lockbriar Farms for Strawberry-Picking especially on the way to camp (on Friday afternoon) or after services on Sunday. This farm also has cherries, and if we re lucky, they may have some early-season blueberries. Rock Hall In Rock Hall (24 miles / 40 minutes south-east of Camp Tockwogh, or 12 miles / 22 minutes east of Chestertown) the crabs at Waterman's are excellent. Rock Hall is also in Kent County, but it's a different community all to itself. Go to: And south of Rock Hall is the Eastern Neck National Wildlife Refuge, with nature trails, bird-watching, canoeing, and room for biking. Betterton The Camp Tockwogh beach is rocky, not sandy and Camp Tockwogh staff will not let you swim in the Chesapeake Bay. (Insurance reasons, nuff said.) But just five miles east of Camp Tockwogh is the tiny hamlet of Betterton. They have a good sandy beach (with lifeguards), and they allow swimming in the Chesapeake Bay. There s at least one small restaurant in town Weekend on the Bay Program DRAFT Page 17 of 19
