Public Service Announcements

Today we have a couple of Public Service announcements that may interest you:

The Fresh Air Fund's Host Family Program - In 2008, this organization gave close to 5,000 New York City children free summer experiences when volunteer families shared their friendship and homes for two weeks. Fresh Air Children are boys and girls, six to 12 years old, who reside in low-income communities in New York City and are eager to experience the simple pleasures of life outside the city.

Thanks to host families, children growing up in New York City’s toughest neighborhoods have experienced the joys of Fresh Air vacations. They need hosts for the summer of 2009 and are hoping you or someone you know can help.

Critical Issues Facing Boomers & Their Parents is a conference being sponsered by the UCLA Extension Public Policy Program and the Osher Lifelong Learning Institute. Critical decisions regarding housing, transportation, communication and health are all core elements of dealing with the new reality of aging. And these are linked through public policy decision making, legal practices, and personal finance. The discussions will include policies, best practices, lessons learned and potential solutions to problems.
