We're Laying out the Welcome Mat
Imagine a big, beautifully appointed house tucked away in the mountains, overlooking a serene setting of woods, flowers and a lake. Imagine that it is your home away from home, a place to take care of yourself, rejuvenate your soul and re-energize your recovery.
Imagine it no more. The finishing touches of your brand new Alumni House are taking place even as you receive this, our first "E-version" of the Lifeline Newsletter. The Alumni House will be abuzz with activities, including special workshops and retreats. See the article on the Women's Retreat below. As always, when you come back to Pavillon, you will have an opportunity to reconnect with the staff. We will have a clinical training room as well as offices for Alumni Services and Marketing.
The house features a beautiful and spacious living room overlooking the lake and waterfall, a full kitchen and four bedrooms that sleep up to twelve people. Another floor includes a loft area, additional office space and another bedroom. In short, you will have plenty of room to relax and reconnect with others.
How You Can Make Your Mark at the New Alumni House
The new Alumni House has been designed to foster a culture of community and recovery, your own special space for healing, growth and renewal. As we seek donors to help support our mission, we are making available a selection of naming opportunities on rooms, spaces, furnishings and landscaping in or around the new Alumni House. Naming opportunities are a wonderful way for donors to pay tribute to family, friends and loved ones, and to inspire those who seek to join us in recovery. Donations will go to the Pavillon Patient Aid/Scholarship Fund. Look for additional details soon. In the meantime, get in touch with Laura Pocock in the Development Office of Pavillon for more information or send Laura an email now.
March 12th Weekend Retreat, 1st in New House
Sorry Guys, it's ladies only for the inaugural retreat in the new
Alumni House at Pavillon. Don't worry though, we are putting together
the final details for a men's retreat.
In the meantime, "Taking Care of Yourself No Matter What - Breaking the Bonds of Co-dependent Roles in Recovery," will be held for women alums March 12-14.
The retreat will be led by Julie Rochelle-Stevens and is just $150 - all inclusive.
Topics Julie will cover:
- Understanding what drives us back into the grasp of controlling behavior and victim hood
- Pulling ourselves out of the victim role to return to the healing, faith and maturity that come with a commitment to recovery
- Examining the hurt, weak, childish impulses nobody wants to admit:
fear of abandonment/authority, the desire to pacify and please and low
self esteem
- Understanding that despite setbacks, recovery is a lifelong opportunity for spiritual growth

Alums Rise to the 'Challenge' of Helping Others
The Goal is within Reach!

Pavillon's alumni are a generous group of people, understanding that in helping others they indeed help their own recovery.
No sooner had we announced the Challenge Grant last December when the contributions started coming in - $15,000 to date!
The Challenge Grant works like this: If we can raise $50,000 from the alums, Pavillon's board of directors will match it with another $50,000 in order to meet our overall $100,000 goal.
All of the money raised goes into Pavillon's Patient Aid/Scholarship
Fund. Through this fund, addiction treatment is made available to patients
who are unable to afford the full cost of care.
Your donations are tax-deductible and matched in this Challenge Grant dollar for dollar. Any amount is deeply appreciated and used to help others get on the road to recovery right away. You can donate online through our secure website or you can mail your donation to:
Pavillon
P.O. Box 189
Mill Spring, NC

If you have any questions, or would like to make your donation over the phone, please contact Laura Pocock in the Development Office of Pavillon. Thank you again for always rising to the challenge! |
