What's the "new news" at Cerimon House? 

Well, it has been an invigorating Winter on the high seas. 

There have been fortuitous meetings, and doors have been swinging wide.

* We have an invaluable friend in Tom Archer of PBS Engineering & Environmental as our building project manager.

* We've welcomed new Board members, including the wise & witty Kevin Yell of Ainsworth House.

* We are in talks with Oh Planning+Design, the respected and enthusiastic Portland based architecture firm led by Deb France, for remarkable design elements and additions to our hoped-for "green" building.

* We're reading the works of Nello McDaniel and George Thorn, learning about effective Arts Boards...and meeting with Kristin Patton (MBA) of Ensemble Consulting of Chicago for her keen insights and services in the Spring of this year.

* A roster of truly great artisans have confirmed that they would like to share-what-they-know and do-what-they-do at Cerimon House, and our programming ideas are already abounding.

* Recently engaged couples have inquired as to when Cerimon House will be available for nuptial rites - and we are indeed eager to acquire and transform just such a building (our eyes are set on a church & schoolhouse combination) into a beautiful sanctuary for various and forward-thinking "threshold" events.

* We will formally launch our Fundraising Campaign in April 2010, and trust that you will want to include your support and interest.
