our first group arrives at The Stone House

On October 10th we had our first group come for an overnight!

It was great to welcome the facilitators for Making Money Making Change who met for two days to prepare for their roles at their annual conference in Whitakers, NC. Many thanks to conference organizer Tanya Diaz, the good folks at Resource Generation, and RG board member (and Friend of The Stone House!) Chad Jones for making this possible.In addition to meeting new friends, it's always good to see folks we've known and loved for a while, like Omisade Burney-Scott, stone circles Board Chair, and Chad Jones, above - both are Friends of The Stone House!


We spent the week before the event scrambling to get the place ready. New sheets, new mattresses, new lamps, new silverware, glasses, couches, and shower curtains awaited our first guests. We made sure the hot water heaters and toilets and wells were all in great working condition. The event was a complete success and we got great feedback on The Stone House. We made it through with only one glitch- we forgot to turn the hot water on in the lower cabin! Yikes, well, they say cold showers are good for ya!
