O'Donnell Schoolyard Summer Program Fundraising Begins
NOAH has scheduled the twelfth season of its bilingual children's summer activities program at the O'Donnell Schoolyard. It will be held for seven weeks from July 7th to August 21st. It runs Monday through Friday, from 9:00 AM to 1:30 PM; and is open to all children in East Boston between the ages of five to eleven. Complimentary breakfast and lunch are served each day. Special guests, including local museum, Fire and Police Department staff make presentations to the children. In addition, there are two evening multi-cultural community events planned as part of this initiative. Last summer over two hundred elementary school children were able to attend.
The Schoolyard Summer Program Fundraising Committee is planning to begin its solicitation of area merchants and business organizations in April to help support this worthwhile program. Local community donations, as well as private individual donations, are a key component of its funding. If you would like to join the Fundraising Committee, or contribute, please contact Linda Miller-Foster at linda@noahcdc.org or 617-418-8246. NOAH's tax-free ID number is 04-296430.
