A Note From April

Hello friends,

I hope you are all having a wonderful start to the holiday season, whichever holiday you choose to celebrate. This month's note is more personal than usual. I will start by saying this has nothing to do with dowsing and I hesitated even mentioning it, but Raymon and I discussed it and decided it couldn't hurt.

When I'm not working for the Raymon Grace Foundation I am the owner of a dance studio in our town, Grace Studio of Motion & Dance,LLC. If you have attended one of the Abingdon, VA classes in the past few years you have been there! I've been in business for going on 13 years and have had the joy of sharing the art of dance with many children. I strive to create a positive and encouraging environment that also challenges the students and helps them grow in dance and in life.

While we love our studio it's a bit cramped... while waiting on classes to start and end we have parents tiptoeing through little dancers trying not to step on them, our storage is overflowing with costumes and props...you get the idea. I'm very excited to be expanding! We will be creating a larger lobby and shopping space, a dancers lounge, directors office, teacher break room, another studio room, and more bathrooms (always needed!). Along with any big project comes big costs. I have started a GoFundMe for this project which I will share below. Please do not feel obligated by any means to donate but if you are also a lover of the arts and would like to help I and the entire studio would be immensely grateful!

All donations will go to building materials, paint, and furniture for the new space. This is the only time I will share this as I do not want to spam you with things that do not pertain to Raymon's work. Although this will also create more space during his classes and easier access to more bathrooms. Again, any donation large or small is greatly appreciated and will go to providing our local kids with a safe and happy place to dance!

Thank you for reading.

Raymon Grace Foundation Sponsors Local Environmental Camp

Every year the week before Labor Day our local park is swarmed with 3rd graders from our county schools. Conservation Camp is organized by Upper Tennessee River Roundtable (UTRR) and is three days filled with learning about water and all things that encompass caring for the earth.

Students arrive on the bus in the morning and take a short hike to the camp location at the back of the park. They then choose a shelter to have lunch in and are given a schedule. Each class rotates through 10 learning stations covering topics from water quality and conservation, to forestry, herpetology, food webs, etc. Each class, of course also gets a stop at the playground. They have lunch and lean some more before heading back to school, hopefully refreshed at a day of learning outdoors.

I have been helping UTRR for several years as an environmental educator from the Raymon Grace Foundation. In recent years I have been unable to do as many events due to being a mother of two young kids in school. I am so happy to still be able to help with Conservation Camp! It's my favorite of all the environmental education events they offer.

Raymon Grace Foundation sponsored the camp this year by purchasing lunch and t-shirts for all the presenters. I also assisted by leading a learning station.

This is just one way Raymon Grace Foundation serves the local community in our efforts to education people on clean water. We must start with the youth in order to make a difference.

Please enjoy the photos below of camp!

Comments From Our Friends Around The World

• Raymon, thank you for your energy clearing! My home has been on your monthly clearing list since last November, and then we added my workplace, Nurture Spa, in January. I've seen improvements in both places.

 

• Thank you for your daily clearings! We do find they're making a difference. Thank you for having our backs! 🙂 I hope your days are going wonderfully, Raymon. Thanks again for your support and for all you do to make the world a better place.  I've really been enjoying watching your YouTube videos. You are my favorite kind of person, real, down to earth, and sincere, no bull crap.Wishing you every wonderful thing you can stand, -Cheri

I am still promoting my friend’s hemp oil products and sell them in class. WHY?

Because I believe in helping friends. Each one of us has been there to help the other for 40 years. 

No reason to stop now~~ and also ~~the stuff WORKS.
