Reconsider Sale of Historic CRS Campgrounds, Curb Spending and Preserve Core Mission First

October, 2014

Preamble to the Petition.

The Board of Directors of the Louis August Jonas Foundation recently announced its intention to sell the two properties in Dutchess County, New York, where Camp Rising Sun has been run for 85 years, and to move the operation of its program to another state, such as Pennsylvania.

We, the undersigned, are Rising Sun campers and supporters from a wide range of seasons and nationalities. Some of us object to the sale of these historic properties, some merely object to the process by which the sale was decided, but all of us strongly urge the Board to reapproach the issue more deliberately and inclusively.

Our intention is to get signatures on this petition, via the Internet, and to make the following critical points:

  1. Most alumni were not warned that such a drastic course of action was even on the table.

  2. Alumni were not given a real opportunity to influence the decision.

  3. However well-intentioned, a growing number of alumni believe this move by the Board runs the risk of alienating the alumni body, which has always been a central part of the CRS program.

PETITION.

This is a petition to show the LAJF Board of Directors that many in the Rising Sun community have serious reservations about the announced plan to sell off the properties in Dutchess County.

A large number of Rising Sun supporters around the world have expressed their concern that the decision to sell the properties has been taken in undue haste, that the expected price in today’s market is too low and will in any case yield little year-to-year financial benefit, and that other avenues exist to solve the financial challenges LAJF faces in the wake of the 2008 market crisis and escalating costs (e.g., fundraising, cost reduction). We applaud the cost reduction efforts already initiated. We want to do more.

In a good-faith effort to expand the organization’s impact, the Board has in recent years authorized an unsustainably large percentage of spending from the Endowment. Much of this has gone to support an ever-larger percentage of overhead, which now stands at nearly 50% of annual expenditures. We believe such practice, however well-intended, lacks the good governance characteristics of fiduciary prudence and expense management needed by a charity that seeks our support. While not every signatory to this petition is flatly opposed to the sale of the original camp grounds under all circumstances, we do not believe that selling and moving right now is the right solution, especially given the loss of history and continuity it would entail. And we believe the Board should focus on preservation of the camp’s mission and organizational survival at this time.

We, the undersigned, URGE the Board to reconsider these issues and refrain from putting the Dutchess County assets on the market. We request a slowing down and a full reevaluation with alumni participation in which all options are on the table, including cost reduction.

We applaud the recent LAJF announcement to halt the sale, albeit for only six months. We call on the Board to affirm their intention to refrain from selling any CRS property until such time as a consensus is built among all the stakeholders.

As concerned alumni and friends of Camp Rising Sun, we declare our interest and intention to be even more engaged in the next six months and afterwards in a process that develops a more enduring solution to the crisis – one that will be mutually acceptable to the alumni body and to LAJF.

As concerned alumni and friends, we hereby pledge to actively participate in a dialogue on the future of Camp Rising Sun over the next six months. This dialogue will take place by email, telephone and through in-person forums at Camp and elsewhere. We call on the BOD to affirm their agreement that the ultimate decision on the future of CRS will emerge from this open community dialogue -- and not from closed-door sessions or preconceived notions of what should be done. We believe an atmosphere of trust and inclusion can and must be restored.

I believe what you published made a bunch of sense.
But, what about this? suppose you added a little information?
I am not suggesting your content isn't good, however suppose you added a title that makes people desire more?

I mean blog topic is a little vanilla. You could peek at Yahoo's front page
and see how they create news headlines to grab people to click.
You might add a related video or a pic or two to grab
readers excited about everything've got to say.
In my opinion, it might make your website a little bit more interesting.baby announcement (Connie)

Hi savecrs.org,

If you won the lottery, who would beg you for money?


This guy in Maryland won the lottery 3 times this year...

What are the odds?

It turns out Neuroscience has found a big clue:

It’s a microscopic brainwave that attracts money, and...

It just needs to be activated by using the 7-Minutes Brainwave that’s now being observed on the campus of both Harvard and Yale.

The trick is a 7-Minutes Brainwave, created by leading neuroscientist Dr Thomas Summers.

A neuroscientist of 34 years, Dr. Summers was among the very first scientists to investigate the link between brain waves and money.

When you click here for the video: https://www.kagrowth.org/billionaire , you’re going to discover Dr Summers 7-Minutes Brainwave that anyone can do at-home to make more money start appearing in your life as soon as today.

You’ll also discover the 250 Million Year-Old brain region - now proven in 4 neuroscience labs - to attract money, and...

The 3 “innocent habits” people do everyday that make sure manifestation will not work.

So if you’re finding it impossible to get ahead, then click here to see Dr Summers 7-Minutes Brainwave now while it’s still online: https://www.kagrowth.org/billionaire .

While others struggle financially, you can let the money come to you starting today, by harnessing the hard work of 34 years of neuroscience.

Hi owner of savecrs.org,
Have you ever tried to find, create and share content across all social media, video platforms, eCom Stores and blog channels, and thought, “that was easy?”

Nope, didn’t think so.

Let’s face it — Content & Social Media Marketing is a PAIN.

Create & curate engaging content, get access to different tools to find, create, and post content… all the while trying to somehow make them work together, post & reply to comments and then assess what's working what isn’t and how you can improve at specific times for maximum engagement… and all that for just a trickle of traffic.

Sure, you could outsource it… and pay several hundred bucks to someone to do all that for you… and then burn more time and money going back and forth with a bunch of freelancers.

But what if there was a much easier, faster way to generate cash sucking content in less than 60 seconds from a SINGLE dashboard?!

You’re in luck, because there’s a brand-new tool that’s just hit the market called Viral Dashboard, and it’s going to make your life INFINITELY easier when it comes to creating and marketing content…

> https://www.vauleonline.co/viraldashboards

– Forget hacking away at writing content.
– Forget slaving over design, layout and formatting.
– Forget blowing hundreds on freelancers.
– Forget wasting weeks trying to create a post.

Now you can get the ultimate edge over the competition, slash hours off your day, and pump out hyper-converting content at lightning speed…

Hi savecrs.org,
Despite the enduring romance of the rags-to-riches success story, many webmasters/entrepreneurs have at least some help when growing their business.

When it comes to website projects, there are a lot of ways to fund them. You can go the traditional route and get venture capitalists or other investors to back you. You can also take out loans from banks or other financial institutions.
However, there is a much easier way to fund your website project quickly and easily. And that is by using crowdfunding platforms.

Crowdfunding platforms are online platforms that allow you to raise money for your project from a large number of people. All you need to do is create a campaign page on the platform and set a funding goal.

Then, people can donate money to your campaign.

Can you imagine how powerful it would be if you had someone that can handle ALL your social syndication for your videos, niche sites and client sites etc?

Wouldn’t that take A TON off of your plate and allow you to focus on more IMPORTANT things..

We all know that social syndication is the #1 way to skyrocket your content to the first page of Google, right?

However, it can sometimes be a BIG pain in the butt..

You’re either having to do it MANUALLY (which I wouldn’t wish on my WORSE enemy lol)

You have to buy software that does it for you (which some are VERY complicated to learn and you still have to manually create ALL your accounts)

And then there’s OPTION 3!!

Tap into a PROVEN system that does it ALL for YOU!

A couple of genius SEO marketers have created a system that does EXACTLY that.

They’ve SIMPLIFIED the ENTIRE social syndication process so that ANYONE can tap into the power of Page 1 rankings – EVEN if they SUCK at SEO or are BRAND new to the subject. (LIKE me)

PLUS they have just opened the doors to their updated and GREATLY improved 5.0 version!

Introducing DFY Suite 5.0!

DFY Suite will allow you to Get FREE, Targeted BUYER-Traffic In 48 Hours Or Less By Leveraging The Power Of High-Quality Social Syndication With their NEW, Done-For-YOU System!

– NO Software To Install

– No previous SEO knowledge or experience
– No Social Account Creation Needed
– No Content Needed Besides their URL
– No Proxies or Captchas Needed
– NONE of that stuff..

Heck, you don’t even need to KNOW what social syndication IS lol

All you need to do is:

1. Login to the web-based portal
2. Submit your Keywords and URL you want traffic for
3. Hit “Submit”

Yup, That’s IT!

From There their System Will Get To Work And Build You HUNDREDS of High-Quality Syndication Links To Your Content to skyrocket it to page 1 of Google!

PLUS, if you’re 100% NEW to SEO, they’re also including a quick CRASH course on Keyword Research AND Content optimization that should take you no more than 20-30 minutes to go through.

With DFY Suite PLUS the Keyword Research and Content Optimization crash course, you’ll be able to start getting traffic from Google without EVER having to spend HOURS upon HOURS doing the HEAVY-LIFTING yourself.

“But wait, did you say they’ve just opened 5.0?”

Yup, and with their 5.0 updates they have made their platform BETTER, FASTER and MORE powerful to Deliver you even MORE rankings, Traffic & sales.

In version 5.0 they have:

– 5x’d their sites, 5x’d the authority, 5x’d the ranking power! Now instead of being able to get up to 200 different syndication links to your content, you can get up to 1,000! And the domains they’ve added are ALL packing A LOT more authority

Hi webmaster,

Google AdSense is the No. 1 advertising network,countless websites earn high revenue through it, and even corporate sites monetize their blogs partially through Adsense.

But, the important thing is how to get it approved, I'll show you how to get an Adsense account- 100% approval guarantee.

Falak Writes, an Adsense expert from Pakistan, has more than 7 years of experience with Google AdSense. He is currently delivering google adsense approval guarantee service on the world's largest service platform.

Why did you choose Falak?

If you buy his services he will provide you with a 100% approval guarantee with content, website design, basic pages etc. Even if your AdSense is rejected for any reason you can still order him. he will fix any kind of error, such as:

Low Value.
Screen Content Error.
Any other Errors.

The most important thing is that your order will not be complete until you get Adsense approval. He is not like other sellers who only provide you articles and some fancy theme and said that your AdSense approval niche is ready etc.

These things are not enough to get AdSense approval, that's why he claimed that ALL IN ONE just buy his gig and get AdSense approval.

I SUCK at SEO…
I REALLY suck at SEO, but…
I NEVER really cared about SEO until now..
Do you SUCK at SEO as much as I do?

—

I have to be brutally honest today.. I suck at SEO lol – there I said it.

Although I understand how POWERFUL it is to get free traffic from Google, I just never had any interest to put it to use for my business..

Especially when it comes to the ONGOING syndication and ‘backlinking’ portion of it.

That’s what REALLY turned me off about it.

Always having to be constantly syndicating my content all over the web for my content to rank on the first page..

If I ever did get into SEO, that’s the FIRST thing I’d get someone to do FOR ME!

That’s why – for the FIRST TIME EVER – I’m kinda EXCITED about SEO ??

Hi,

According to recent reports, digital ad spend in the world is projected to reach US$271.20bn by the end of 2023. This means there are ample opportunities for publishers like you to carve out their own little piece of this pie.

But, monetizing your website effectively through ads is easier said than done. Platforms like Google AdSense come with a lot of restrictions and formats that aren’t that versatile.
That’s where Monetag comes in. Even corporate websites also monetize their blog parts through Monetag.

Monetag is one of the largest audience monetization platforms for publishers. The best thing is that most Monetag ad formats are compatible with AdSense (except Popunder/OnClick ads).

The platform works for every type of audience, including desktop, mobile, and in app audiences. You get access to worldwide advertisers, clean ads, competitive CPMs, and convenient payment options.

Income growth is exciting, and the wait is worth it. During the first month, advertisers typically test the quality of website traffic and collect demographic data of website visitors at low bids; In the second month, advertisers raise their bids once a week to compete for ad placements on your site; In the third month, the advertisers increased their bids significantly each week! You will earn $5 to $10 per 1000 page views via Monetag, Monetag brings publishers like you more income than AdSense usually does !

Now click here to maximize your website revenue: https://www.vauleonline.co/monetag

Pros:

Easy Setup: No rigid restrictions are imposed and most sites are accepted!
Works With Any Website: Monetag works perfectly with any site regardless of industry, size, or traffic levels.

Clean and Safe Ads: No need to worry about malwarel or virus-infected ads thanks to well-vetted ads and anti-ad fraud protection tools.
Smartlink Feature: This is a profitable ad format that lets you monetize any type of traffic with one click.

A lot of people look at me like I’m crazy when I tell people my mentor James brings in experts every week for up to $500 an hour in his FR-EE group.

And rightly so…

Why on earth would he bring in experts in Google, Facebook, YouTube, Productivity, Email marketing and more and pay hundreds of dollars for a fr-ee group?

Simple...

He actually gives a crap.

And he wants you to succeed.

We’ve both been where you are not too long ago.

We know what it’s like…

James got scammed out of $3,000 when he first started.

He wanted to quit more times than he could count.

He banged my head against a computer screen for more than 6 months before I made my first commission.

And then it happened.

His first commission.

Let’s face it, most people would quit.

Most people DO quit way before 6 months.

And that's what James is aiming to fix with this new system and training.

While the other so called gurus out there charge thousands for overpriced hype.

He wants to over deliver and give you massive value at no cost to you because he truly wants to help.

Plus, if he give you so much amazing stuff on the front end, and help you get results…

You’ll hopefully buy his paid stuff later! (Full transparency)

You may know his story of suicide to success.

And if you do, you know where his heart is and why he truly wants to help.

I get it, you're sceptical.

You think you've seen it all before.

Well you're wrong.

There is still hope.

If James can become a top affiliate within one year of trying to take his own life.

Push his boundaries and become a 7 figure earner, speaker and multiple award winning affiliate.

You can do anything.

But it’s gonna be 100x easier with our guidance and support…

Get your fr-ee system now and reap the benefits of these highly paid experts today: https://www.solveques.xyz/rpm .

Kind regards,

Billy Goldman

P.S Tik Tok masters, YouTube super stars. 7, 8 and 9 figure entrepreneurs have made cameo appearances.

Just the group alone is worth more than what most people charge for.

PROVEN, Done-For-You, SOCIAL syndication
Social Syndication – 100% done-for-you
rank FAST with DONE-FOR-YOU social syndication…

——

Can you imagine how powerful it would be if you had someone that can handle ALL your social syndication for your videos, niche sites and client sites etc?

Wouldn’t that take A TON off of your plate and allow you to focus on more IMPORTANT things..

We all know that social syndication is the #1 way to skyrocket your content to the first page of Google, right?

However, it can sometimes be a BIG pain in the butt..

You’re either having to do it MANUALLY (which I wouldn’t wish on my WORSE enemy lol)

You have to buy software that does it for you (which some are VERY complicated to learn and you still have to manually create ALL your accounts)

And then there’s OPTION 3!!

Tap into a PROVEN system that does it ALL for YOU!

A couple of genius SEO marketers have created a system that does EXACTLY that.

They’ve SIMPLIFIED the ENTIRE social syndication process so that ANYONE can tap into the power of Page 1 rankings – EVEN if they SUCK at SEO or are BRAND new to the subject. (LIKE me)

– NO Software To Install
– No Software Training To Learn
– No previous SEO knowledge or experience
– No Social Account Creation Needed

– No Proxies or Captchas Needed
– NONE of that stuff..

Heck, you don’t even need to KNOW what social syndication IS lol

All you need to do is:

1. Login to the web-based portal
2. Submit your Keywords and URL you want traffic for
3. Hit “Submit”

Yup, That’s IT!

From There their System Will Get To Work And Build You HUNDREDS of High-Quality Syndication Links To Your Content to skyrocket it to page 1 of Google!

I have enormous respect for so many people associated with this camp and I have confidence that we can work out a solution to this if we can get some help. This may mean someone helping us with the health of our governance structures and a recommitment to the mission of LAJF. I am grateful for the work of all in the past and present and would like to help going forward. I think it is quite reasonable to reconsider the options put forth by the former B & G Director, JC Calderon and am grateful the sale of camp has been put on hold.

Hi
For various reasons, urgencies and committments i have not been able to put aside the time to properly digest all the discussions and arguments
in the CRS debate over the las month, although I meant to.
I also have to admit that, as I was not one of the Alumni who progressed to highly paid distinction, I have not contributed financially to the camps survival.
Those two factors mean that my qualifications to contribute to the 'debate' are weak.
However I have to say I have a lot of sympathy with the letters I got just recently which basicly I think regret the loss of the
folksy and homely CRS we knew in Freddy's time, when Sundial was erratically produced by alumni and carried our own writings.

About ten years ago I attended the CRS reunion in Poland and was heartened by the energy and enthusiasm of the younger alumni and somewhat depressed that
Freddies wider and more humanitarian vision (which recruited me as the very first British Camper from a state school, after he'd seen
a newspaper report of a demonstration by the senior students against US actions during the Cuba missile crisis) seemed to have been visibly condensed
to "leadership training". In my view Freddy's adoption of the phrase"experiment in international living" was closer to what the camp was all about.
Not leadership per se, but responsible and moral leadership and collaboration.

I have also become depressed by the relentless solicitation for funds and the way Sundial has become a marketting tool.
While I accept that funds are important and I know that the CRS funding model requires alumni funding to generate philanthropic funding
from other sources, I think the current management cannot begin to understand how much unAmerican minds can resent
advertising in general and that kind of marketting in particular. I cannot believe that the general level of IQ of our alumni would not
feel deeply insulted by being treated to such a sustained barrage of solicitation and the bending of news of the source one of the most formative
experiences of our young lives into a sustained pitch for contributions. It is better manners to ask once, politely.

I wonder also about the 2014 camp - what did they think they were doing in "construction" if any legacy contributions will be lost.
Of course I don't know, for example, if the Adirondak shelter or the trails are still maintained,
what the Ki Boan looks like now or how much of the physical legacy of the camp could be preserved.
We dont get the "alumnus edition" of Rising Sun anymore, written by campers.
Estate agents always tell us its about "Location, Location, Location", CRS probably is a location but in Poland I saw that it could be mobile and move about.
Maybe.
I couldn't get to Hungary on 2014 - I now really wish I had, I'd feel better in touch with the current spirit.

I do know that I felt more comfortable with CRS before it became so corporate and business-model driven. I don't know which side of the debate is 'right'.
I do know that voluntary organisations large and small - and I am a member of the worlds largest, the Lions Club, can easily fall into self-destructive
schisms. I have seen this sort of thing happen over and over again and it is totally distressing for those involved.
It usually occurs when one group claims ownership of a part of or the whole of the group, alienating others and internal feuding breaks out.
I have the feeling that this is happening here and the end result will be the opposite to that desired by the current management. Alumni will be 'lost'.
Being right isn't enough - you have to carry the 'membership'

What the management say must happen may be quite correct but if that is to be the case then a closer and more relaxed relationship with the alumni is essential,
more consultation, (dare i say it?) more democracy, less hectoring and solicitation. Maybe a smaller CRS for a couple of years while the options are debated and
the alumni are carried forward with necessary reforms - perhaps a reduction in the funds allocated to fund-raising might be a start.

Most of all, all of us should start
listening to Freddy again, carefully.
I did not hear his softly modulated tone in Poland, and I cannot hear it know.

With respect to all

I do not in any way doubt the good intentions of the current Camp and Foundation administration; I hope I have shown this by increasing my financial support during this difficult time. But for me, perhaps for most alumni, the idea of Camp is inseparable from the place where we experienced it. We all want the idea of Camp to have a future, to change the lives of new generations of campers. Keeping connected to the past of Camp, including the sites which we love, is critical to creating that future.

The memories of camp and the essence that is camp is worth preserving for future campers to come. I think we need to re-evaluate this situation and as a community come up with a feasible solution, before discarding decades of tradition & life long experiences. More importantly, these camp sites represents the foundation of that is CRS, leadership, friendship and core values that has and continues to be spread throughout the world via the alumnus of CRS.
The roots that ground CRS have not withered, but are digging deeper for more nourishment and we as a community , must try our hardest to preserve this tree, which has given us so much and still has more to offer.

I do not feel that strongly the loss of the spirit of CRS without a camp in Red Hook or Clinton as my first year was in Stendis (which we all know had a very tight budget by the way) and was an AWESOME and UNBEATABLE season, but I do agree with most of the demands and believe it is possible to do things in a better way (with all my respect to the actual managers/boards/directors).

Selling or off loading any assets at this economic time makes no financial sense. There are other ways in which money can be raised through lease arrangements, other use out of season etc. The asset that is the legacy of all these years of campers will be destroyed forever, don't do this.

Is the board's move something smart? Is the board deliberately provocative, provoking a counter movement? Creating new or more, and productive cohesion among alumni? Causing a fund raising drive of a magnitude that the CRS community has never seen before? (If so, keep going!)

I believe it is a mistake to sell the property, which holds so much tradition and beauty.

The impact of camp would be lessened by cutting that time in half. It would no longer be Camp Rising Sun.

In addition to the full disclosure of LAJF budgets from 1990 (or before) to the present,the rules governing the foundation since then should be fully available to alums and other interested persons.

Is it to suggest that the board members have committed themselves to confidentiality regarding their discussions, votes and personal opinions?

Like many, I also wavered on whether to sign this. In all honesty, I probably don't deserve to sign this because I haven't, in recent years, reciprocated the love that Camp has shown me. But, I hear the recent calls to Council and want to make up for lost time and will contribute to camp regardless of

However, the most recent round of fundraising emails are completely inconsistent (perhaps even intentionally so) with the other concerned messages coming from alumni and board alike. So I sign for more transparency and open communication.

Greetings.

I've been watching with dismay and disappointment as suggestions have surfaced that the best way to save CRS is, to paraphrase an analogous proposal made of a village in the Vietnam war, to destroy it, and to reincarnate it in another state.

Certainly part of what makes CRS the unique Freddy creation that it is are the ethical principles that guide the daily lives of its campers.

But another part, and equally important in my view, is the geographic and physiognomic structure of the terrain -- land, waters, buildings -- of the actual camp grounds, the "ancestral homeland", if you will.

With no Willy House, with no Louise Falls, with no Council Ring or Sawkill Swimming Hole, with no Tent Hill, what will there be left of the physical corpus of Camp Rising Sun? Can any of that be resuscitated in a relocated camp, reincarnated elsewhere? (I'd fear not.)

Do know that I stand with you for a more conservative, "let's not just burn all our bridges behind us" approach to the CRS financial pickle than the current board of (untrustworthy) trustees seems to wish to follow.

Cheers, and best of luck in having your viewpoint prevail,

Comments:
The more I have considered this, the more strongly I have come to feel that the spirit of Red Hook is very much its history, and this will be lost and CRS will become far less meaningful if the property is sold.

Having been both a camper and a counselor, I do no believe that a 4 week experience would accomplish the transformation that camp brings in its campers. Four weeks are not enough.

I also believe that 60 campers in a camp are already a few too many. More than this would be detrimental to the quality of the program. More campers will dilute rather strengthen the experience.

I have not been a regular financial donor to CRS, but this 'moment of crisis' has given me time and space to contemplate what camp has done for me and what I still owe to it (despite having given two summers as a counselor). I am planning on giving annually to CRS from here forward, but I would not feel motivated to give to a camp that I don't know and recognize. The affective tie just isn't there. I am willing to contribute annually to the camp that I know and have loved and that enriched my life so much. But not to some unknown camp with which I have no personal connection other than the name.

I have been thinking about CRS and the LAJF in a serious way for several weeks and on many levels.

I struggle with whether or not to sign this petition. I struggle with the idea that it is a petition and not a declaration. But there is not enough time to wordsmith and work towards perfection.

I refuse to attach a pledge conditional on the petition being accepted or withhold my involvement on committees or my annual gifts.

I am committed to this organization at all times as it has been committed to me at all times. I claim it as my own with its ups and downs. I will give to it what I can always.

If we are asking to have more involvement, we can't ask that we only invest our time and our treasure only when all decisions go our way.

I respect the members of the BOD and the intentions and dedication (of all resources) with which they work.

I admire the thoughtful community that has gotten together here and I admire the dialogue and network that has continue to grow and strengthen among our alumni around this issue.

I believe that alumni want and deserve a chance to come up with other cost-saving solutions. I believe that not considering the opinions and commitment of people who feel strongly about this issue will alienate them. Our alumni are our most valuable resource. Let's be open to alternative solutions.

Most respectfully,
AnnMarie

We have a special stewardship for this land, and for the CRS program. If we have fallen short, I know we can do better. Among us we have a great deal of wisdom, passion, and ability, all applicable to this cause. Please, lets work together with greater vision, renewed commitment, improved communication, to create and support a better way forward.

with respect and gratitude for the efforts of all involved, --

I'm posting here because I strongly feel that co-location, and the sale of Red Hook, would both be serious mis-steps in our effort to carry forward Rising Sun. If this course was chosen in a period where alumni involvement seemed lacking, lets work to change the equation enough to make better solutions possible. I will not withold my time but offer to volunteer a great deal more of it especially during the months ahead as we need to work together to create better options for Rising Sun's future.

Thank you to those who have initiated this petition and are causing so many sachems to come together, pledge support and raise their voices for CRS. I’ve been very touched to read the comments below, recognise old friends and be reminded of the experience and wisdom that this community holds.

Thank you to the Board of Directors, Members of all LAJF Committees and the LAJF Staff for the work that you are doing to keep the program running, including the funding that each of you have been contributing year after year. I trust your best intentions.

Now, the dialogue sparked by the recent proposal to sell the camps shows that there are many more options to consider and that there is alumni resourcefulness to count on. As suggested previously, I believe that aside from financial measures, part of the work lies in taking a look at LAJF’s organizational culture and how it has been shaped in the past 20 years both by events outside and by leadership changes inside. What decisions have step-by-step turned into policies, values and finally the organizational culture by which LAJF operates? Which of these values and policies are hindering what we aim to create and secure in the future?

From my experience, CRS is (thankfully) far from the only program offering life-changing experiences of community, leadership development and intercultural understanding to teenagers, much needed in today’s world. But it is unique in its form, vast bank of experience and history and I believe it is worthy of being continued in the format it has today. The impact of CRS has never been in the quantity (numbers of campers) but in the quality of the experience that makes such a powerful difference to each individual that it may last a lifetime.

In the years that have followed since I was a camper, my donations have not been in money as much as in the action of loving and supporting the CRS program as a counselor at Clinton and Stendis and as Director at Stendis. Seeing from comments below that this option is now on the table, I hereby pledge to volunteer one summer as Director at Stendis and help set that program off to a new start.

With gratitude,

I have to admit that I haven't been paying attention, and I can blame no one but myself for that. And while this news has shocked me, it has also reconnected me to camp.

Because I have such deep affection for camp, I have tried to keep in mind that Board members are all either fellow campers or friends of camp -- and I try to begin with the premise that they all have the best interests of camp at heart. Their experiences couldn't have been any less magical than mine. They must feel the same about Tent Hill and the Sawkill and the Council Ring as I do. Perhaps I'm being naïve, but I firmly believe I owe this to people who have contributed far more time and energy to the CRS cause than I have.

So I won't say the decision to sell is misguided because I don't know that to be true. What I do know to be true is that the manner in which this decision was taken has split our family. I am not being metaphorical. Rising Sun is not merely a community -- we are a large, extended family. And any decision that splits that family is the wrong decision. And that is why I sign this petition.

So I applaud the Board's decision to put the sale of the campuses on hold. And because I know they acted in good faith, like Chris Varrone I look forward to open dialogue to find a solution.

I have no doubt that each decision made to date has been done for good and heartfelt reasons. The reality is that the physical tie across the generations of campers that exists in Rhinebeck is very hard to put a price-tag on. This is the latest financial test that the LAJF will see, but it will not be the last. We definitely need to fully understand and build consensus around our options with alumnae everywhere. Otherwise, the long-term financial impact of losing the "place" our alums call home could be devastating!

Comments:
Jeffrey Smith's letter is excellent. He makes a number of significant points such as the need for the board to be more transparent, the growth of the administration (how familiar: I am a retired professor who spoke out, in vain, about the constant increase in administrators at the same time as cuts in teaching positions), the failure to follow through on programs such as the one for an alumnus to sponsor a camper, and many others.

After years of contributing without any sense of what was going on, I do not intend to contribute again. The administration must change. I am not well enough to participate in your struggle, but be assured that I agree with you and am sure that many others from the 40's do so also.

Long exchanges of long emails usually frustrate me and to some extent that is true again with these emails back and forth about Camp and the recent (more correctly, recently revealed) decision of our administrators. One of the reasons I am less annoyed than usual is that I've read some excellent letters and have been reintroduced to old friends. In the last 24 hours, for example, I've read the letters from Rick Haynes and Seth Frank. I can add nothing to what they have said so well but I want to affirm that I agree with them.

I wonder how many other faculty members (or retired faculty) have noted the similarity with actions taken by college and academic administrators who seem no longer (perhaps because they do not come from the ranks of the faculty or have been co-opted once in central administration) to understand the purpose of their institution.

I spent more than 40 years in academia. Administrators became less and less willing to listen to the "people in the trenches," i.e. the faculty and the students. Now they act in the same way that the board and executive director are acting. I see little hope of getting rid of them, nor of finding the proper replacements.

It's almost 75 years since Freddie Jonas visited my home in Brooklyn, swept my parents off their feet, and invited me to participate in what has evolved into one of the most important series of events in a very full life, which still proceeds at full speed. I couldn't begin to elaborate on that statement without writing a book on the subject!
If CRS, Red Hook, were to evaporate into thin air, a vital part of my life (and my daughter's, who is also a devoted alumna), and countless people who went to Camp as a result of my selecting them) would go with it. I've been back to Camp (it seems like) a hundred times since I was a camper.

I'm still a Professor, trudging back and forth to Chicago a few times a week, with a no-pay tenured job, but, as I wrote in my first email, I'm willing to contribute what I can. My knowledge of finance is nil, but trust those of you who do understand the economics of CRS's survival to see that it continues its vital mission in the world.

I have been associated with the LAJ Foundation for 33 years and have never seen a more dysfunctional group. As a former Board Member 1992-1997, it pains me to see that the Board continues to be self-serving and sanctimonious. I will contribute to the Foundation again when it stops spending beyond its means and starts being inclusive. The self-peppetuating Board answerable to no one must end. This is our last chance to "get the big idea right." I hope it happens.

I fully support the request to hold putting the Dutchess County assets on the market until we can reevaluate with alumni participation. Hopefully, with the involvement of the whole community, and clear fundraising goals as to how much we need to raise to be sustainable, we can solve the financial issue without needing to sell Red Hook or Clinton.

I believe there are many was to use this land to your finacial benefit. So many new conscious farmers are looking for use of land, there may be a lucrative way to lease land during the off season of camp. If so, you would be able to offset the costs and keep the beautiful property. More than beauty is contained in that land. So many campers come from cities where there is a lack of wilderness. Part of the beauty of camp is the exposure to this special under appreciated part of the world. Please take that into consideration.

I am prepared to contribute $100,000 when I see that the LAJF Board has taken sale of the Red Hook campsite permanently off the table, is planning for a boys camp 2015 full season at Red Hook and is implementing -- not merely talking about -- substantial structural and financial reforms. This is not a pledge -- which I never make -- but a statement of sincere intent.

Seth Frank '48 & 49


Addendum:

Dear Save Camp Rising Sun Community,

I am heartened by the number of signatories thus far to the Petition, the funds pledged by concerned alums and others and the outpouring of sentiment, which all can read for themselves, but which for me add up to a strong voice to keep the Red Hook and, if possible, the Clinton Campsite, while reducing the administrative expenses which have contributed heavily to -- if not having created -- the financial crisis now facing CRS/LAJF.

In my note to my signing of the Petition, I indicated that I was contemplating (not pledging, for I never do that) contributing $100,000 to the operation of CRS Red Hook in 2015, provided its sale was taken off the table by the Board and needed structural reforms and financial reductions were undertaken -- not merely talked about. Further thought and the deep, energetic and sincere response by engaged alums and others have caused me to increase my contemplated support (again, not as a pledge) to $300,000, to be paid (so long as I am living): $100,000 when the foregoing are in evidence, $100,000 in May, 2015 and $100,000 in August or September, 2015 -- all earmarked solely for operation of CRS Red Hook in 2015 for a full 7 week season for male campers only, while Clinton is placed on hold and other uses and revenue sources from it are explored. I have been given to understand that $300,000 would be sufficient to operate CRS/RH in 2015 without a deficit, particularly when other sources of funds --
e.g., investment income from the endowment and alum and other donations -- are added and the excessive administrative expenses are eliminated. It would not be surprising if, with careful management, a surplus -- rather than a deficit -- may be realized.

So long as the Red Hook campsite is owned by LAJF -- which I hope will be forever -- it is penny wise and pound foolish not to have a caretaker to protect the property against fire, flood, theft or other untoward human or natural events. It may also negate the insurance on the property and expose LAJF to liability in case of accident there. It is imprudent for the Board to so expose the property and LAJF.
The Board has not rescinded its unwise, callous and peremptory dismissal of Dan Atkins, but should do so forthwith. He has been loyal, devoted and effective, working unstintingly for years at a modest salary.
If the Board is unable or unwilling to pay him, send me the bill and I will contribute the funds to do so. There is still time -- but not much -- to remedy this egregious situation before November 10th. If, in fact, the RH campsite is being properly looked after, it behooves the Board to so inform the CRS community. As of now -- like so much else -- there has been no disclosure.

In my 10 point presentation of tinder for the Council fire I indicated why -- in point 10 -- I believe a split season of dual gender campers of 4 weeks for each gender is undesirable, impractical, fraught with risk and marginally more expensive than a single gender full 7 week season at a single campsite. A. split season will offer an inadequate experience to less qualified campers and staff than a customary 7 week
season. I chose a boys camp season at RH because I believe RH is more conducive to male campers than to female campers and the retention of, and operation at, RH would send a timely, important message to the corps of alums who date back over several decades with it and for whom it is an integral part of their CRS experience and whose financial support is vital to a sustainable LAJF/CRS.

In an ideal world it might be possible to return to two camps, full season, simultaneously at some future time. If not by 2016, then a single gender full 7 week season could take place in 2016 of girls either at Clinton, if it is still owned and available, or at RH with some intervening modification. The alternate gender camp seasons could continue so long as funds are inadequate to operate two camps simultaneously, though that could -- and should -- be kept in mind as a desirable, ultimate goal.

I also believe that relocation of the LAJF office to Dutchess County, as and when feasible, would not only provide a significant cost reduction, but would also provide benefit in attracting local and regional support for various initiatives, including possibly utilizing Clinton for corporate conferences or retreats or other events and functions of a local or regional nature, which would produce desirable revenue. CRS -- and for a substantial period LAJF also -- has been a longtime, loyal and deep rooted good citizen of Dutchess County. Bringing in additional rental revenue and employment to Dutchess County will, I believe, be appreciated in meaningful and tangible ways. The 85 year presence of CRS/LAJF in Dutchess County is also an important legacy of the institution itself, no more to be duplicated than the Old House, the catalpa tree, the Sawkill, the Council Ring and totem poles. In matters of heritage, one should proceed slowly and with care and respect. I believe that was part of Freddie's teaching and of the spirit of Camp Rising Sun.

Seth Frank '48 & '49


P.S. Regarding any confusion about my offer:

My giving record speaks for itself. The difference is: a pledge is legally binding and enforceable against the pledgor; a contemplation is not. If the conditions I laid down are met by the Board, I intend to come forward with my first contribution. If Nita Luis earmarks from her contribution for Clinton, the expressed concern is academic, as there should then be two camps at two sites for two full seasons in 2015. If my conditions are met, but Nita does not wish to earmark for Clinton, then I want alternate single gender seasons and I am prepared to support a boys camp full season at RH in 2015. I don't believe this puts the girls' program indefinitely on hold or treated as secondary, but I don't have the resources to support two camps and I was trying to prime the pump with the boys in 2015, as I believe that will stimulate more giving from the larger constituency. Should funds be generously forthcoming, hopefully the goal of two camps at two sites for two full seasons can be realized in the future. But a split season of 4 weeks each at a single campsite I believe is undesirable and fraught with risk from many standpoints and I will not support it.

I trust this will respond to the expressed concerns and reassure all that there is nothing sexist in my proposal.

Regards,

Seth

This is indeed extremely generous, but our female alums would not be very happy about the conditions. Would you be open to a discussion about this?

Subject: Re:

Pat,

If Nita Luis will earmark her gift to operation of CRS Clinton in 2015 for a full 7 week season -- and if the democratic reforms and financial reductions are effectuated -- then two full season camps can be operated at the two campsites in 2015 and open discussion can proceed with a longer term view. This must take place, not with the open participation which the Board may believe it has provided, but with the open participation the CRS Community as a whole demands. I will not back down from my conditions that staff and salary reductions must occur, other expenses must be reduced -- e.g., Sundial, travel and conferences, outside consultants -- serious analysis must be made of relocation of the New York office to Dutchess County (where it was for many years) with Justin Brasch and David Rosen be invited to participate and give their professional input -- rehiring of Dan Atkins as Red Hook caretaker and reinstatement of J.C. Calderon as Chair and his resigned colleagues as members of the B & G Committee, imposition of a 1% limit on invasion of endowment, if unavoidable, and then with priority for capital restoration, renovation and improvement of plant and equipment, enlargement of the Board by invitation to those I've mentioned and others who may be interested and voting for Board members by the entire body of alums, email prompt communication of Board and Committee minutes and other structural and operational improvements as may be just, necessary and advisable -- all to be put on an immediate, fast track timetable -- with sale of Red Hook and/or Clinton campsites taken off the table, together with consideration or exploration of other, out of state campsites. An additional point which might be considered by the Finance and Investment Committee is whether LAJF might benefit from investment in low fee mutual funds -- e.g., S & P 500, Health, Technology -- such as Vanguard offers, if that would reduce investment advisory expense.

There is nothing in my enumerated conditions which should make the female alums or any constituency unhappy. Quite the contrary, it's a win/win for all and a new day of sunshine which should encourage engagement, commitment and contribution from all alums in accordance with their resources. Pass the peace pipe around the Council Ring, unlit as befits good health and safety.

The ball is in the Board's Court. Freddie was too good a tennis player not to know whether the ball that comes back is in or out.

Best regards to all,

Seth

Subject: Financial inadvisability of trying to operate two Camp sites
To: Seth Frank

Dear Seth,

In response to your email below, Rick and my donations are for the continuation of the much loved CRS program and are not specific to our affection for any geographic location or length of season. Regrettably, we have concluded that even a $500,000 gift from us plus a $300,000 gift from you would not support two camp sites for more than one year, even with the stringent expense control that’s been implemented.

We well understand that the financial realities are hard to accept emotionally. Rick’s ’61 project at Camp was cutting seating terraces for the “Old” Theater, now largely in disuse for safety reasons since the Sawkill cut away the banks supporting the back stage area during the winter storm of several years ago, which also washed out the bridge to the Council Ring (now replaced). That’s just one example of the deterioration we’ve observed, as we’ve visited both sites every year for the past 15+ years (except for the summer when Rick had cancer surgery). But it’s more important to us to see the happy faces and growth of Campers for many years to come.

Rick and I deeply appreciate your great generosity over the years! We hope you will continue to support our Future.

Please call me if you wish to discuss any misinformation you’ve been hearing. Thank you for caring so deeply and for all you continue to do!

I believe that every institution or individual has a unique identity which makes is stick out clearly among all others. Much as i also believe in "Change" care must be taken not to join the bandwagon just for the sake of it or by looking at other indices aside from the original. With the current globalisation and technology etc i believe that sanctuaries like CRS the way its been set up provide the much needed sanity. I was worried the moment we started with this "corporate" look at the turn of the century. At least after some years as ACD i have a fair idea of the financial figures. I know things were not so bad when we had our office in Market Street in Rhinebeck but suddenly with the use of LAJF( completely silencing Camp Rising Sun in discussions and masterials) Pennsylvania offices etc we had started down the road till the office on Madison Ave in New York! I stand to be corrected since i was not privy to all financial goings on. Maybe we could go back to the basics and trace our history and find out where we started veering off the "path". CRS is unique and so lets maintain its uniqueness and identity - boys who experienced who they are and what the other person is on the banks of the winding sawkill. If its property acreage maintenace, we could do something on part of the property or sell part of it. we could also look in to the possibility of the winter/spring program which may not be a full scholarship program.
I may write again someday, but for now, i think we should not leave the banks of the winding sawkill or the fireside at the sacred Council ring.It only takes one who has experienced this that can understand this tradition.

The LAJF Board has a very recent, significant precedent for making unnecessarily hasty decisions whose outcome may be less than ideal. Before it becomes a pattern of M.O., let's first convince the community that this is the best solution because rational minds (min included) don't seem to get it. And before taking the most drastic route, let's figure out interim solutions, that are needed in either case - like replacing current flawed management; reorganizing the Board; creating a fundraising program (because let's be honest, that completely went out the door when we lost our Director of Devt.)

I have many thoughts to share, and I can't stop thinking of Freddie at this time. He devoted his life for us to have our CRS home in Red Hook. I only have 40 years of memories of my CRS family. My favorite, being on the front porch of the Old House talking with all who stopped by for a chat, and walking about the grounds seeing what we needed to work on for projects.
We need to re-think the sale of the property! If you can't manage your budget here what makes it different in another state? Wasteful spending is wasteful spending. 18% administrative costs for a non-profit is outrageous and unnecessary.

While I did not attend Camp Rising Sun as a camper, I have come to believe deeply in the core mission through my three summers spent on staff. I will continue to serve this organization as best I can so long as it prevails in a fashion that suitably shapes young leaders to become their best and truest selves. CRS is the legacy of a man who selflessly donated his life and his fortune for the betterment of others. What once was one man’s dream is now many peoples philanthropic play thing. The administrative running of camp at all levels become more and more entangled in the crossfire of rigid egos, errant ideas, and shallow showmanship. The idea that camp can be picked up and dropped down anywhere and still be “Camp” is a false notion: it implies that CRS is a franchise -- that it has a corporate business model which could be reproduced anywhere. While there may be a corporate structure that governs, the fact of the matter is that CRS is not a business dealing only in figures, but is a philanthropy that deals in hearts and minds. If it was a business, I’m sorry to say, it would have failed a long time ago. Those who are looking eagerly to the new dawn are failing to see what is causing the sun to set on the previous day. Mismanagement, administrative oversight, failure to truly understand what makes camp tick… this is not the time to cut our losses and go someplace else. The rehabilitation of the financial and physical resources of our camp must be paramount and we must slowly and conservatively work to fix it. If we aren’t in the position to engage in a multi-million dollar revamping, than how possibly can we engage in a multi-million dollar relocation of camp? Let’s work to fix the roof of Old House before we lock the door on it and turn our backs forever, so to speak. Let’s reimagine the potential with what we have rather than imagine the means to acquire what we don’t. I do not support the radical corporate decisions made behind closed doors to being about a new era and I suspect our organizations founder, Freddie, wouldn’t either. I hope I never have to look back at the Red Hook/ Clinton camps and think “That WAS a good place”.

The "place" is an integral part of the CRS tradition that binds us together and I would like to see it preserved and even enhanced. It is unimaginable to me that, together, we cannot figure this out so that future Campers can love it like we did! There would not be such a ground swell of support from Alumni if this were not true! When this "crisis" in our history is resolved, CRS will be ready and viable for the next 85 years!

~100% of my relation to the camp is with the physical space I was in during my year there. While I'll always value the people I met there irrespective of CRS's location, It would be very sad if we had to move the camp.

I find it hard to believe that the only way out of the financial quagmire we are in is to sell the sites where camp has taken place for generations.

It will be an extremely hard sell to expect alums to contribute financially when the places we hold so dearly in our hearts are gone and a real emotional connection is lost. Moving Rising Sun to "someplace" else just doesn't seem to be the right answer.

I am worried that Rising Sun is currently in this dire need for money. I am worried and would like to know if the office in Manhattan is able to fundraise much higher amounts than we used to pull before we had a large fundraising team. I think selling camps really takes a away a large part of what camp is to hundreds of alumni and to the mission and home of Freddy Jonas. Loosing our old theatre, old house, ed hall, and all of our 'history' is really a BIG DEAL. It is hard to believe renovations cost 8 million, why can't we renovate over the course of 4-5 years so to alleviate costs and not have to pay a lump sum from our endowment? Can we pay for these renovations from the interest earned? Could we possible reduce the amount of permanent staff to cero for 5 years until we are financially better off and have alumni volunteer for all positions, including the CEO position. I would really like to see LAJF save money but not in the range of 10-15 percent, but save close to all expenses except the season itself. Rising Sun is very important for many of us and we should be trying harder to find solutions. We could start with a daylong internet forum so everyone can hear from the board and we can find some type of mid point where alums agree on the route LAJF has to take to secure continued survival of the program even if this means cutting staff, cutting costs, or even relocating. I am available for anything asked of me, and am ready to cooperate with alums and the board.

The summer I spent at CRS Clinton significantly altered the course of my adolescence, and it continues to affect me as an adult. I recently took my step-daughters to an alumni weekend, and they were amazed. I want to preserve the hope I saw in their eyes that some day, perhaps they might be lucky enough to attend camp, too--the very same one I went to, on the very same ground. The CRS Clinton camp holds such priceless, magical significance. The air smells sweet. The buildings, the trails, the hills, and the fire circle are full of memories. I hope it lives on as place I can return to again and again.

I am signing this petition because I am struggling to discern fact from opinion regarding issues that are important to me personally (e.g. the financial stability of LAJF and the sale of CRS properties) and would like more transparency and alumni engagement in CRS and LAJF with respect to these pressing issues. Having just returned from working in Afghanistan, I matters to me that CRS continues to be a light unto the world. With Freddie gone, we have no central figure and must rely instead on the spirit of CRS that lives within each of us who has been changed by Freddie’s vision and his efforts. What seems most clear to me today and is perhaps the biggest challenge to the staff and BoD of LAJF: there are many CRS alum, family and friends whose passion and talents are going untapped and/or under utilized by CRS/LAJF despite much enthusiasm, generosity and volunteer spirit. Is it possible to take this opportunity to truly come together to creatively use the material and non-material resources we collectively posses to offer the experience we so clearly value to the next seven generations? This is my desire for the ‘new dawn.’ Can we begin by agreeing on the goal and identifying the challenges? I can’t imagine that that this group of people cannot do more than we imagine in this moment, working together.

Half a century later and I vividly recall what this hyper-urban NYC boy learned at Louise Falls, a seemingly insignificant spot on a creek just down from the main house. After sitting alone in silence there for dozens of hours my way of relating to everyone and everything, my whole being, mind and body and spirit, was forever changed. There is power in a place! There are filaments that connect many of us to camp and to each other that cannot be described alone as memory or nostalgia, and we would be remiss as a community to deny them.

LAJF asked my daughter Sam to write about her recent two-week experience at Clinton.

Samantha Wong Legacy Camper 2014

Throughout my childhood, my father would recall countless stories of his experience at Camp Rising Sun. Through him, he would give the impression that every moment at this camp gave him something that he couldn't find elsewhere. I remember attending a few reunions, experiencing an encrypted atmosphere that camp created that interested me. As soon as I became of age to take part in camp as a legacy camper for two weeks, I was easily persuaded by my father to attend. Not knowing what to expect, I came ready for anything. At this point in my life, many would consider me to be a passive, shy and timid girl afraid of her own shadow. With this personality, I walked into the main doors of the camp and was instantly overwhelmed by many kind faces eager to show me around and get to know me. Each and every moment I felt welcomed and accepted by girls all over the world whom I just met. My days at Rising Sun flew by and I never thought I would feel so comfortable with so many girls in such a short amount of time, not long after I developed a confidence that I never thought would be in my grasp. My participation in discussion increased dramatically and my ability to express my ideas became existent. I discovered new heights of being a leader. I was able to view the world through a different perspective. As if that wasn't enough, Camp provided me one of the most enjoyable two weeks I have ever spent. I’ve made strong friendships with girls that even millions of miles can’t break apart. Every day was enjoyable and my hours seemed to be filled with fun activities and unique experiences that never seemed to stop challenging me.

***

Sam never had the opportunity to be a mess Sachem, a newspaper editor, attend Ghost Stone Council or participate in many other vital activities, but her visceral words not only share what an amazing experience she had but also made me reflect on my own 1981 camp season. Her limited yet remarkable experience reinforces that I have no doubt that Camp is as important as it has always been and that it must continue. Camp is facing extreme adversity and we need to work together to continue Freddie's work.

I am not against selling the camps but only if it makes fiscal sense. If the sale price is reasonable and the new location is right (both price and place), then I would be willing to allow this decision. However, the idea of selling without any real price discovery on both the sale and purchase sides is dangerous, will lead to poor execution and put the foundation/camps into a deeper financial hole. In addition, I find it troubling that the cost of running Camp for $1.8 million per year is so high especially if more than half of these expenses goes to running LAJF. As a comparison, I researched several summer programs that are available to high school students.

Johns Hopkins Center for Talented Youth - 3-week overnight program, $4000 averaging $1300 a week.
Middlebury Summer Intensive Language immersion Program - 8-week program $11,000, averaging $1,300 a week
Black Bear Overnight summer camp in Millstone NJ (family owned) - 8-week program $4000, averaging $500 a week.

All these summer programs are quite profitable compared to

Camp Rising Sun - 7 week program - $1.8mm per year for 120 campers results in $15,000 per camper per season, averaging over $2,000 a week.

which is breakeven! You can argue that the Johns Hopkins and Middlebury programs can leverage their resources, but both operate many programs outside of their respective University locations. However, it is difficult to defend our costs versus Black Bear Summer camp.

In addition, I am also amazed that the Board recently announced that they are looking to cut expenses by a large portion of 30%. Has the Board been complacent in running Camp for years in terms of expenses? Why has it taken this long to realize this? Also, why has the fundraising effort been so passive? I have no problem making a donation to Camp but I hesitate to contribute because I do not have the confidence that the Board can be fiscally responsible or capable on both the expense and fundraising sides.

In conclusion, Camp is at an inflection point and we need more people to help than ever. Every dollar we spend or waste will affect the quality of experience for current and future campers.

The following are some suggestions to help minimize expenses and maximize fundraising:

1. Total expenses should not exceed $1.2 million. Full transparency and breakout of all expenses. Limit use to endowment money to only the annual interest income. Use of endowment principal should be used sparingly and must lead to reducing expenses.

2. Fundraising is main purpose of the Executive Director. He is to annually raise at least two times his total compensation. A comprehension fundraising program should focus both outside endowment funds and alumni. Camp agents should be recruited for fundraising purposes. For example, two members of the my 1981 Camp will be responsible for contacting 1981 campers for donations. Target annual fundraising to $750,000 and grow each year.

An Allegory a la Freddie:
Encountering hostile neighbors and lots of "air traffic" (think rockets with warheads) The Israeli Knesset voted to sell the present land of Israel to the Saudi's Kuwaitis Abu Dabi and the Palestinians for umpteen Billion dollars and move to A new undeveloped site in Texas!! They reasoned: 1 They would have a financial nest egg.
2 They could take the Torah scrolls and the old testament and pray anywhere! 3 They had planted a lot of trees in Israel 80 years ago, With new technology they could grow more, bigger trees faster in Texas! 4 It would be much closer for relatives in NY City and Miami Beach to visit! etc I could go on but I am sure the sachems get the point!

I believe this as a good in itself to have the alumni community remain connected to the Camp, but also as a practical matter, going forward the financial support of alumni is necessary for the program to continue.

Comments:
I do not believe that Freddie created camp for the campers, I believe that he created camp for the alumni the campers would become. Likewise, I believe the practice that the boys must carry their beds, mattresses, bedding, and luggage to their tent on the first day is an inseparably integral component of the camp experience. So, too, are the less than stellar conditions of the buildings and facilities.

It is in understanding why such components of the camp experience are deeply important that we can begin the dialogue about what camp needs or doesn't need.

Camp Rising Sun is setting while a New Dawn rises. This may be inevitable, it may even be necessary. Change is hard, but unavoidable, as Life tries to teach us every day. If we don't understand what is behind the amazing and powerful und undeniably life changing experience that camp has given each of us, then we cannot adequately create the same experience for future generations. If we lose sight of the vision behind why camp was created, then we disrespect and insult the incredible gift we each were given in those summers on the hill.

Let's take this time given, whatever the intent behind it, to have discussions that focus first on what makes Rising Sun powerful and unique. Let's begin by exploring the seemingly mundane and arbitrary parts that are actually integral to the whole. When we get that, then the path will be laid out before us.

Again, I do not think Freddie's focus was camp. In fact, I think his great generosity in the gift he gave each of us is much broader and more far reaching. He wanted to change the world. And all he did was run a summer camp. All he did was run a summer camp. Think about the extraordinary power in that statement.

Comments:
I'm truly outraged that it came down to this decision to sell the camps in NY. There are many camps in NY state that are still working to this day. I find it hard to believe that not enough funding has been found. I know that legislation is out there to preserve land in NY that offer tax benefits and if I remember correctly there is a good chunk of land that have no buildings on them.

On a side note: 175,000 dollars a year for a base salary at a nonprofit! Sign me up, especially if it was higher than that before! I'll quit my job right now and jump in. My father owns his own business in NY and only makes a quarter more than that and he works about 24/7 at it.

As for the cost of the office that is a really cheap price for Manhattan. But have you looked outside of Manhattan for office space because that is even cheaper.

Also in looking at the filings was 93,000 really spent on investment management fees? Is this not high? I don't know if it is but the number just jumped out at me. Especially compared to other expenses like food&kitchen 75,000 or insurance 130,000.

Another question that came to mind was why would there be 43,000 spent on Conferences and conventions as well as Alumni Affairs with 39,000. I can pick out a few expenses within these categories the come to mind but nothing that particularly adds up.

I look forward to reading about the cost saving measures that will be occurring.

Place matters and it clearly matters to many of us alumni. Therefore to sell land is to uproot camp alienates us stakeholders. Such an opportunity: I love the reaction within my own heart and that of so many CRS alums responding to the news.
The Board was seemingly faced with an impossible task; extreme solution proposed and now faced with extinction, the collective rises to raise their voiced. Next step is to raise some serious money. (Similar to ignoring our planet's carbon predicament. Oh it's serious? Hard to get that message across) How many more people are out there that want to follow in Freddie's footsteps and leave endowments? I've never given any money, not a dime, and despite current limited funds, rather than ignoring the request, I am committing to a small annual contribution. Let the pledge drive begin.
How How to everyone involved. Big changes are certainly in process to preserve camp; to do so we must preserve the properties. History lives in the soil and in the structures and in the hearts and minds of all of us that experienced camp. Certain things including length of a camp season should not be altered. Yes sure camps can be 4 weeks and could be held at new location in a different state but that is not CRS and that would bring an end to our tribal lineage. That I do not support nor any of the undersigned.
Shining love and light on this issue will bring about a different outcome. It already has. But how brave this board has been to suggest such an unthinkable course of action. Extreme times require that we change our conditioned responses. This petition reflects the energy of the unconscious camper within all of us. Mobilizing this force we can rekindle the fire and be sure that camp lives on for generations to come. Much work ahead. May we all find it in ourselves to contribute to save the commons. To save an important legacy. And to enrich ourselves and others through the process.

As former board member of both LAJF and GEJF and as mother of two campers, I have witnessed wonderful things and also much angst about keeping the program alive due to fund raising shortcomings, most of all. I like the creative idea of a full time boys camp at Red Hook for this coming season along with a full season at Stendis for girls. At this point in time I realize that would be tricky, but it would do much to energize the worldwide alumni associations and keep the program not just alive but thriving while we sort this out.

I was blindsided by the emails that dropped into my inbox from LAJF. I attended a few board meetings a few years ago and it was not communicated that the finances were this dire. More discussion is needed before such drastic actions are taken.

FWIW, I fell off the donation bandwagon when building my house and funds were reprioritized, so I dropped a $1000 check in the mail to LAJF this AM.

Although I am not a huge contributor, I generally give regular yearly donations to CRS. These donations are a result of my belief in the value that the camp experience provides, my understanding that camp resources were being properly managed, and my personal connection to the camp experience. This connection would be lost if the Red Hook location was sold. I am also disturbed that the financial condition of the foundation has become poor enough to warrant the sale and question the high overhead costs.

The idea and ideals of CRS can be pursued anywhere, of course, but selling off the existing properties without longer and deeper participation of the alumni/ae seems to me to damage the collaborative and cooperative spirit that has long been at the heart of Freddie's purpose and legacy. We lose a lot if we lose the sense of place that many of of us carry with us as part of the CRS experience and purpose.

I was very moved by the thoughtful comments here. I completely agree that corporatism appears to be crowding out camp philosophy. The CRS Web site is full of phrases like "professional consultants," "endowment performance," and my personal favorite, "lower regulatory burden."

It's difficult to picture Freddie talking this way. If he had, he might have stayed in the hat business. I thank you all for lifting me out of the funk I got into when I first heard of the planned sales.

Comments:
I appreciate the Boards hard work in trying to map out feasible solutions to the challenges ahead; I respect their courage in making the bold decision of selling both campuses; and I value their choice of putting things at hold for six months. I have, nevertheless, chosen to sign this petition, because I fear that we face the risk of losing the alumni/ae unless it can be demonstrated that a true and meaningful debate is ongoing, and because I fear that choosing the road of four-week seasons, even as an temporary measure, is too slippery a slope, as temporary measures only too often become permanent.

When arguing that the CRS has seen different lengths of seasons, one must take into account the changes in the numbers of campers and other, even external, factors which have changed over time.

For the future, I would like to see the option of re-opening CRS Europe in Stendis properly re-examined again. In Tata, Hungary, we were told by the Board representatives that the LAJF cannot support the GEJF due to legal constraints. Recently, another Board representative apparently (based on the transcript of the recent phone conference) said that the reasons for considering that option are not legal at all. Clearly, the issue has not been given adequate attention. Here the best-case scenario is that re-opening Stendis would allow us to operate both the girls’ camp and the boys’ camp at the same time, as long as there is no campus in North America which can accommodate both for a 7–8 week season. As has been repeatedly stated, operating a camp in Denmark is significantly cheaper than in the USA.

Furthermore, I challenge the view that the goal must be to offer the CRS experience to as many young people as we can. While that is a laudable ideal, it must not be thrived at the expense of the program. I believe many experienced staff members would agree with me in this: a seven-week camp should have closer to 50 than 60 campers (and if we are even to consider a four-week option, the numbers should then be cut drastically).

Finally, I make the point of not making any financial pledges. If my opinion is considered insignificant because of this, so be it. The Camp I went to, and to which I have dedicated so much of my time, was not about dollars.

I'll give as much as I can back to CRS and the Foundation, monetarily and by volunteering. In addition to all the options being considered, perhaps we can use alumni as a resource to restore the camps. I would be more than happy to commit to working at the camps on weekends in a similar fashion to Habitat for Humanity. If we were to get enough volunteer laborers from the region, whether skilled in different aspects of construction or not, I am sure we could both reduce costs considerably and save both sites.

We should all go into the woods like Freddie and Henry David Thoreau to find the answers to these problems together. The answers are not in a board room or an office in the city. They are around a Council fire, on Tent Hill, and in the water of the Saw Kill. There is so much talent and passion in the alumni body. We need to use the valuable human resources we have available ensure many more generations of young people have the chance to go into the woods, unplug, and experience life at its core. We can not do that by ignoring voices of dissent.

There is strength in tradition. Guidance in heritage. These are some of the core ways of the Navajo people. This might sound extreme but I think many of my people, my relations know of the results of being "sold-off" or "lands taken away". The end result wasn't the greatest. But the CORE values remain.

I want to see that the Board act with great Fiscal Responsibility and Prudence. Importantly, I want to see a rigorous re-enstatement of the rule whereby no more than 5.5% of the 3-year rolling average can be withdrawn from the Endowment any given fiscal year. I also want to see that the reckless overspending at the Foundation level is cut at least by half, and that the overall budget is reduced from the current level of $1.8MM to less than $1.2MM. This is eminently achievable, I know this for a fact, as I was on the Board as Treasure and Chair of the Finance & Investment Committee for 9 years from 1993 to 2002.

I am concerned about the overall finanacial well being of the foundation but even more concerned about our lack of vision for the future. I would appreciate a detailed plan of what the Board is looking to do going forward. We have 85 years of history that had simple beginnings in Red Hook and eventually expanded to Clinton and then oversees. It appears to me that when things get tough and our answer is to abandon our roots and fold up shop? When the cost of business rises in the "New State" will we pick up and move again? I am not prepared to support that now or ever. Our mission has always been to expand and grow Freddy's vision. It is time to have serious and meaningful discussion with our very intellegent and talented alum, family and friends of CRS.

I honestly believe that selling the properties will only prolong camp a few more years and we will end up back in this position down the road. I would like more discussion pertaining to cost reduction from LAJF and CRS campuses, and possibly taking a hiatus from camp seasons in the dire time.

I look forward to the open dialogue and continued alumni involvement pertaining to this deeply personal crisis.

Comments:
The overhead ratio is ridiculous. We need more transparency regarding the costs and the decision making process. I wonder if the Board has fully explored all the other options and fully considered all the arguments and counter-arguments, before it decides to sell the campuses. To me, tradition and heritage should decide that moving be reserved as the very last choice. I'm not sure that's the case for now.

I try to remind myself that all things change, but I never thought we would dream of abandoning The Old House, Tent Hill, the banks of the winding Sawkill, or the Council Ring. The Board has seemed of touch for a while now. We went from quarterly pamphlets for the Sundial to a 30 page glossy with 8+ pages dedicated to finances and fund raising. I can't help but feel like we've left our humble beginnings and tried to cater to the 1%. I hope the magic is still alive for 8 weeks each summer. This alchemy can't be quantified or put into a glossy booklet.

May this crisis bind us and make us stronger.

Comments:
The seemingly ill-considered decision to sell the historic property appears desperate and hasty. While the short-term survival of CRS hinges on finances, the long-term survival of what CRS is really about will be threatened by a quick sale of the original property.

I worry that the original goals, ideals, and passion of CRS as conceived by its founder have been squandered against financial challenges. Challenges that should have compelled the board to focus even more on finding creative solutions to preserve CRS' core foundation of the historic site - which holds the DNA of what makes CRS so enduring and special.

To that, it appears as if the foundation was simply managed poorly in recent years, despite the investment market downturn of a few years ago. Currently, successful non-profits keep overhead down to less than 25% of total budget. How is it that LJF overhead surpassed 50%? Flawed fund-raising strategy? Anemic outreach efforts? Lack of substantive media or communication strategy? Uninspired leverage of alumni resources?

With the sudden news of this financial crisis, alumni should be informed of what the strategic plan really was and how well it was followed by the board. My question to the board and foundation leadership is: What did you envision of CRS today, 5-10 years ago?

And to both alumni and the board: What do we envision of CRS 5-10 years from now? For me, as echoed by others on this petition, CRS should never relinquish its historic site, which is unique and especially well-suited to the ideals, history, and nature of CRS.

That will demand aggressive fund-raising beyond the alumni base, fueled by a communications campaign that can be social-media driven, hinged to firm strategic goals. Even if we have to cancel one-two runnings of camp to re-arm, so be it, as long as the historic site is not sacrificed and a firm date of camp resumption is adhered to.

I am appalled by the cost of running the camp. I was aware that there was one full time director, but I was under the impression that other functions were largely or wholly on a voluntary basis.

The overhead cost needs to be slashed. A director and other executives who are paid commercial fees have no place in a not for profit organization.

The entire board should resign and a new board, more in line with the idealistic character of CRS, should be put in its place.

Governance has always been a problem. This is one of the results of a bad governance system. This current problem will not really be fixed until the governance is changed as well.

In the meanwhile the current BOD should reinstate (or so offer) all who have resigned or been fired during this firestorm.

Dear Mr. Calderon,

I strongly support your petition. My first reflection upon reading the announcement that the historic camp grounds would be sold was that this was nothing more than one more step towards final closure of the camp. Behind the proposal to sell the camp grounds I perceive a failure to understand the importance of tradition. The CRS idea simply cannot be transplanted to a new location.

Best wishes,

Christian Palme, Sweden
