Friends of CLN is committed to purchasing 443 acres of the Little Notch property—including the entire 80 acre pond, furnace trail and all camp facilities. To do so we need your support now! Our ultimate need is to raise $2,250,000 in three years; our immediate goal is $250,000 by July 2011. We must reach our immediate goal in order to maintain a full time executive director, make our first of several payments toward the land purchase, open camp for summer and fall use, hire a property manager, begin repair and maintenance of the camp facilities, and move forward with long-term strategic planning for both operations and programming. We are asking members and supporters to Adopt an Acre of Little Notch to be a part of Building a Dream.

When you adopt an acre you ensure that Little Notch will support the development of strong bodies, vibrant minds, and indomitable spirits. By adopting an acre you will contribute to the stewardship of Little Notch and create opportunities for innovative green-living projects. Together, your gifts will enable those who have yet to experience the beauty and serenity of Little Notch to do so. With your contribution Little Notch will become a space where people of diverse backgrounds come together and celebrate each other's differences as well as commonalities. And finally, through your generosity you will be providing a place where all people have the opportunity to practice living in harmony with nature, each other and themselves.

For $5,000, you can Adopt an Acre of Little Notch. It is our hope that you will consider giving the gift of an acre to yourself or your loved ones. Please invite your family and friends to do the same. This is truly the gift of a lifetime and will touch many lives into the future. To adopt an acre, please use this form [Adopt an Acre] or email ellen@littlenotch.org to find out more about how you can help us Build a Dream.
