V101: Cape Escape
Week in Eastham Home
Remember The Witches of Eastham? How about Eastham of Eden?
Or The Allman Brothers Live at the Fillmore Eastham? No? Well,
don’t worry. Eastham is still the setting of choice—especially for
those looking for a great Cape escape and a relaxing family
weekend.

This stunning 4 bedroom, 2,000-square-foot house sleeps 10-12
people. It’s designed to accommodate 2 families comfortably, with
2 master bedrooms, 2 children’s rooms, and a pull-out sofa in the
family room. Bring your extended family, bring your friends—bring
your imaginary friends!

During the day, bike to the ocean or drive to the bay beaches.
Show off your mad horseshoe skills while the kids frolic in the
spacious backyard. Enjoy a glass of wine on the deck or by the
fireplace.

V102: Truro Treat
Weekend in Truro Home
Whenever Nancy Carlsson Paige wanted to get her boys away
from the playing video games, she always brought them here:
to beautiful, wholesome, undigitized Truro. That sand on the
beach? That’s real, not pixels. Those creatures swimming by?
Real seals, not avatars. And that MMOG (massively multi-player
on-beach game) going on? That’s called picnicking.

After you’ve enjoyed the quaint, private, bayside beach, simply
cross the street to this lovely Cape home. With 4 double beds, 2
single beds, 2 trundle beds, 2 full baths, and 2 half baths,
there’s plenty of room for family and friends—even elves and
hobbits.

Marinate in the bay. Rinse off in the outdoor shower. Then go
out and explore Truro’s charm. Ah, sweet! Some things reality
does best.

The fine print: Long weekend dates to be arranged with Nancy
Carlsson Paige between 11/14 and 5/15.

V103: New Hampshire Lake View Home
5 Days at Lake Massasecum Bradford Home
The state motto “Live free or die” was first uttered by a colonialist
teenager on this lake. Pocahontas had her quinceañera here.
Anne Hathaway, Channing Tatum and Ryan Gosling all come here
for their annual skinny-dipping competition.

Give up? It’s Lake Massasecum, in beautiful Bradford, NH!

Now you can add your own legend (factual or otherwise) to the
lake when you stay at this beautiful, rustic bunkhouse-style
home. It offers 3 bedrooms—2 of them with queen size beds, the
third with a double, and 3 twin-size beds. More than enough
room for parents, kids and maybe a couple of friends. And 2 baths
means no waiting!

Outside, there’s swimming, kayaking, a hammock to cradle in by
the lake, and a treehouse (allegedly built by the Swiss Family
Robinson). Fun for the whole family!

The fine print: Dates to be arranged with Cindy Taft between
6/14 and 10/14. Winner to pay a cleaning fee of $100 and leave
the house in reasonably clean condition.

Value: $2,000

PRICE: $1,500

Week in Home on Maine Coast
A perfect blend of the old and the new, this beautiful house on

(midcoast) features a stone fireplace, knotty pine walls, driftwood
posts and a huge wrap-around porch—plus a modern kitchen and
garage. With 5 bedrooms and 3 baths, there’s room for the entire
family—and no fights for the bathroom. Your one week stay
includes use of the resort facilities while the resort is in season: a
nine-hole golf course, salt water swimming pool, tennis courts,
duck pin bowling, a deep water harbor with boat and kayak
rentals, restaurant, bar and even an ice cream shop. Hike, swim,
kayak, or just relax and enjoy the scenery!

V105: Martha’s Vineyard Getaway
Week in Oak Bluffs Home
Tucked away on a quiet street, yet close to it all, this house
provides a comfortable base for a family visit to Martha’s
Vineyard. Built in 2004, this light-filled Cape-style home has 3
bedrooms and 2.5 baths (sleeps 6-8).

Walk or bike to Oak Bluffs (1 mile), Eastville Beach (.75 mi),
Joseph Sylvia State Beach (2 mi) and Farm Neck Golf (2 mi). While
a car is not required, it would be optimal if you wish to take
advantage of all the island has to offer. If you do wish to bring a
car, be sure to book a car ferry reservation.

Vacation Home Fundraiser Procedure
The response to our vacation home fundraiser has been quite brisk. Several questions have been asked and we thought it
would be helpful to share the answers with our community.

1. What time on February 3rd are you taking the bids?
   Offers will be accepted at 12:01am Monday, February 3.
2. Can a person make an offer on more than one home simultaneously, in case their first choice has been taken?
   Yes, list the homes in order of priority, and indicate that you are interested in only one home. Of course, if you would like
   more than one home, please indicate that as well.

3. Are you accepting offers by text or by email or by phone?
   Email to deanna@fayerweather.org or call 617-876-4746 x718. You can also stop by after start of school and see one of us
   in the Development Office.
4. Is the price fixed according to the descriptions, or can people make an offer higher than the price listed?
   The price listed is the price you need to give to “win” the home. Of course, if a donor wishes to donate above this price, the
   school welcomes your support and generosity. Once you pay, you’ll receive the details on how to contact the donor.
5. Are any of the homes being sold more than once?
   At this time, each donor has offered their home once. However, if a home is especially popular, the Development Office
   will make note of people’s interest and ask our donors if additional weeks/weekends can be made available.
6. How will the community know a particular home is still available?
