Newsletter 2019 August 8 – open for visiting

(This is the first newsletter that was posted as a blog entry on this site. For PDF formatted newsletters dating back to 2014, please see the history page.)

Dear Ocate Cliffs family,

We are open for all of August for guest groups! For now we are handling reservations through vrbo.com and hipcamp.com. Details for visiting are on this page: http://www.divergentlabs.org/ocatecliffs/visit/

The next two weeks we are having two people from Russia stay and volunteer, so if you want to make last minute plans to join that, please let me know.

Here are some new pictures of the cleaning and furnishing process coming along:

I also have a personal achievement to share: After downsizing in our house in Las Vegas and getting life into a more financially efficient arrangement, I now have the ability to take off time from work in the summer so that I can be at Ocate Cliffs closer to full time. I’ll continue to work the rest of the year. I wasn’t able to start that arrangement until half the summer was over, but in 2020 we will have a lot more flexibility for the whole summer.

If you have an autistic person in your life who could benefit from a transitional experience here, please get in touch!

In service,
Star Ford, Program Manager
