32 TO: Heartwood Neighbors and Friends June 26, 1992 FROM: Spence Dickinson, HEARTH Foundation Institute RM e We are pleased to inform you that after more than 10 years of planning and working to bring a vision to life for the community, the HEARTH Foundation Institute Creative Learning Center is becoming a reality. We are excited about sharing this news with you and invite you to share your hopes, dreams and visions with us -- as they relate to the Creative Learning Center. What would you like it to be for you? How would you like it to enhance the quality of your life and, most importantly, the life of your family? Today, economic pressures and a pre - occupation with material gain have diminished the time and resources dedicated to building successful living relationships. The Creative Learning Center provides a place and a process to facilitate both... skills and education to meet material needs... better personal and community relationships to meet individual and family needs. To help give you a clear picture of how the HEARTH Creative Learning Center will accomplish this mission, we have enclosed several documents which describe the purpose, the plan and the facility. F. mt you will encounter the words as originally drafted to state the vision and purpose of the Creative Learning Center. You will see how the concept has remained the same and, at the same time, how it has matured to reach out to the needs of all our neighbors and community. 1YczL architectural drawings show the location and the nature of the facility. TAt& we have included a diagram of how HEARTH and the CLC receive input from the community, provide activities in response to the community and, in turn, help the community enlarge it s frame of excellence and quality of life -- as represented by the larger circle at the bottom of the drawing. Please keep in mind that the Creative Learning Center is an ongoing process and as such it will be five or ten years before it is fully developed. However, we are starting off on a solid footing, with the advice and expertise of many members of the community -- both in the private and public sectors, in trades, crafts and professions. You also can be partners in the vision and share in the efforts to bring the vision to life and are certainly invited to do so. The planned activities for the remainder of 1992 are to: (a) Get the building up and (b) Start a wood recycling project by the landfill. In the commg year, we see the facility being available for Homeowner Meetings, Waldorf School Activities, workshops and community functions and gatherings, such as the Friday Night Contra Dances. As envisioned in the HEARTH documents and bylaws, the organization and facility can be a vehicle to transport individuals, families and our community to additional life experiences. Within the HEARTH vision, you may certainly recognize some of your own personal dream. Or, you may wonder whether the dreams you have can be included? After review of the enclosed documents, if you feel you need any additional clarification, or you would like to add your insights, please feel free to call us: Spence Dickinson at 933 -9090, Dawn Bodo (929- 7457), Dave Laudicina (929 -5183) or R.

In addition, we invite you join us at the Heartwood Pond & Amphitheater on Sunday, July x7 at 6:30 PM for refreshments, a short presentation and an opportunity to fully discuss o� the Creative Learning Center building and activities. Feel free to bring any interested friends. We look forward to your input as potential receivers of and contributors to the community benefits of a thriving gathering place and educational activities center. Cordially,
