Micah 6.8
He has told you, O mortal, what is good;
   and what does the Lord require of you
but to do justice, and to love kindness,
   and to walk humbly with your God?



Burt left the best voicemails ever... We will miss him so much!

Dear friends and family,

This is just a short note to let you know that after a whirlwind week or two of wrapping things up in Portland I've arrived at Holden Village, with a special thanks to Linda W. who took it upon herself to see me off on a good start including driving me all the way up to Chelan and seeing me off on the ferry. 

It's magical. Attached are a few pictures of the ferry ride and the Village following a winter storm that delayed my arrival but made everything really amazingly beautiful.

Thank you all for your well wishes over the past few weeks and for the lovely reception to send me off on my last Sunday at PMC! I love the colors in the quilt and I will treasure that gift along with your kind words and friendships.

My new address is:
Rachel Joy

11155 Railroad Creek FS 8301 Rd 
Chelan, WA 98816-9001

And, if you want to receive updates, email me at pdxfrog@gmail.com as I'll try to write notes from time to time. 

Peace and blessings, Rachel

Hello from the Netherlands, PMC! I miss you all dearly.
​It’s been a month since we landed in the Netherlands and wow, they have been both extremely slow and extremely fast. Leaving PMC, getting married, going on a honeymoon to Hawaii (dreamy), an international move, and trying to furnish a completely unfurnished apartment has had my head spinning a bit. Amid all the craziness, however, I have a deep sense that I am where I am supposed to be and—more importantly—with whom I’m supposed to be with (aka Brandon, aka my husband, aka OH MY GOSH I’M MARRIED).

A week ago after three weeks of searching, we finally were approved for a rental apartment near the city center of Eindhoven where we are living. It’s brand new and on the 10th floor! We just got our first piece of furniture today (a mattress from Ikea!), and we move in on Nov 15. I cannot wait to be able to cook real meals.
​
Speaking of real meals…the cookbook. ❤ ❤ ❤. I absolutely love it. I was able to read it for the first time on the plane over here and seeing your recipes and comments made me feel as if I were being wrapped in a quilt of love—just like my final Sunday at PMC. I can’t wait to start cooking!
As for life in the Netherlands, it is really is absolutely amazing. Everybody bikes—rain or shine. The Dutch have us PNWers beat on rain tolerance. It will be pouring down rain and the city center is just as full of people walking around, shopping and sitting in cafes. We’ve gone on days trips to Utrecht, Amsterdam, Rotterdam and Bruges (my favorite). We even got to walk by and peer in to the Doopsgezind (Mennonite) church in Amsterdam! Everybody has been extremely, extremely kind to us. We especially love two of our hotel workers, Danique and Poppy.

We will never say no to a letter! Our address here will be:

An Invitation to Support Drift Creek Camp

10/7/2021

Dear Drift Creek Camp Community,

As you know, Covid numbers in Oregon are still high. Due to that, we, along with the camp board, have decided to conduct the 2021 DCC Members' Meeting (business meeting) online again this year. We have bumped the date back to Sunday, November 7 at 4pm. This year's Zoom meeting will review the year and present the budget for 2022. 

We still want to celebrate Drift Creek's 60th Anniversary! And.....we want to do that in person! The plan is that the 60th celebration will be postponed, (again!) until the spring of 2022. At that time, we will have an auction and a time to share camp stories and gather as a community. We are looking forward to seeing your faces once again! 

If you would like to participate in the 2021 business meeting, please email info@driftcreek.org to receive the zoom link. 

Look for details about the spring celebration in DCC's  year-end letter!

Looking for gift ideas for Christmas? The CAMP STORE has been restocked and we're looking to add another new apparel design in time for the holidays! 
 
Thank you for your continued support through these crazy times. 

With much love and gratitude,
-brenda and tony
