As time goes by, I get requests of all kind.
When Sara Wilson sent me not one but 2 e-mails requesting my assistance in helping the Fresh Air Fund find Vacation Homes for 200 Inner City Kids, I detected a sense of urgency.
So here's where and when they need help:
There are trip dates set for August 2008 for over 200 children and they need host families to volunteer to host these inner-city children. The dates and locations are as follows:
8/11-8/21
New Jersey:
Warren County, Bergen County, Union County, Somerset County, Morris
County, Hunterdon County
Pennsylvania:
Lancaster, Akron, Christiana, Denver, Donegal, East Earl, ElversonLititz, Manheim, New Holland, Quarryville
New York:
St. Massena, Ogdensburg, Potsdam
8/12-8/22
Harrisburg, Pa
8/15-8/22

New York:

- Unless all prospective host families are screened
and vetted by the end of July these 200 children may miss out on an
invaluable experience
- Please
host a child or help the Fresh Air Fund get the word out that they need folks who can
welcome a child from the city into their homes next month
- One
last thing that is actually very important. The Fresh Air Fund is looking for families
who want to extend an invitation to a 9-12 year old. We really need
more families who want older children and boys
- Please Email Angie, angie@freshair.org, immediately and she'll speed you through the process
- Or, you can call the Fresh Air Fund at 1-800-367-0003 (212.897.8900) -- ask for Angie
Time is of the essence!
Thanks in advance to all those of you who can give a helping hand.
