Ring in the new year with a new experience... the Fresh Air Fund

Date: 12/21/2009

Make a New Year's resolution that could benefit the entire family for years to come: volunteer with the Fresh Air Fund!

Close to 5,000 New York City children visit volunteer host families for up to two weeks every summer through the fund's Friendly Town program in communities from Virginia to Maine and into Canada. In 2010, give your family a chance to spend time together, introduce your children or grandchildren to the importance of volunteering and make a difference in the life of an inner-city child. It might still be cold outside, but the time to sign up is now!

For more information on hosting a Fresh Air child, please contact Lorie Dixon at 567-1890 or the Fresh Air Fund at (800) 367-0003. You can also visit www.freshair.org.
