A Community of
Caring: Focusing
On Our Youth
On Wednesday, Feb. 21,
noon, at the Adams Mark Hotel,
Dr. George A. Zitnay, Executive
Director of the Joseph P.
Kennedy, Jr. Foundation,
Washington, D.C. will share his
insights, ideas and challenges on
how we can become a commu
nity of caring and create a
collaborative effort between
parents, clergy, educators and
community leaders to reach
youth who feel alone, unloved
and out of control of their lives.
Pregnancy, parenting, sexual
ly transmitted diseases, the
threat of AIDS, drugs and
alcohol abuse, family problems,
child abuse and neglect, school
dropouts and suicide are some
of the issues addressed by the
Community of Caring in Wash
ington, D.C., with programs,
materials, training and technical
assistance that can make a
difference.
Call the Mecklenburg Council
on Adolescent Pregnancy office,
332-6721, for reservations by
Feb. 14. Luncheon is $15.

Special Children’s Fund Established
“From Generation to Gener
ation”: How often we hear these
words, but do we ever think
about those in this generation,
who we prefer to call “Special
Children”? These are young
people who, because of special
circumstances and handicaps,
may have difficulty in keeping
up with their peers without a
little extra help. It’s up to all of
us to provide that help.
An ongoing fund has been
started with the assistance of the
Foundation which will enable
equipment and other types of
special things to be purchased so
that these young people with
varying degrees of disabilities
can participate in more activities
at Shalom Park. Currently, we
have ordered a piece of play
ground equipment for these
special children and our goal is
to raise $5,000 this year.
We know that you will want
to participate in this worthwhile
endeavor so that no child will

Children’s Fund and mail it to
the Foundation, PC Box 13369,
Charlotte, NC 28226.
Your generous donation is
100% cost effective since no part

fundraising expenses. Your do

Many thanks for your support
