In fact, it can be the start of a lasting relationship. Just ask Linda Dandridge Moss, a Richmond, Va., native who made the move to Winston after a blind date wound up being her eventual husband Mark. How does she like the move? "I'm enjoying it," j she says. "Richmond is twice the size of Winston, but 1 like it here. It's beautiful and I love North Carolina." , Moss adds that Winston is quiet, but a good area for the type of work she does. * As a coordinator for Urban Arts, Moss, who monwealth University, is responsible for four areas. She coordinates the Art-Is program for youth and the Older Generations program for senior citizens, as well as overseeing production of the Urban Arts newsletter.

It was . distributed locally and sent to schools throughout the nation for use as a model for other drinking/driving awareness programs. Many of the students also participated in a mock legislature and passed lawss pertaining to drunken driving. As for the factors that motivated students to become involved in the project, they are as varied as the students themselves.

"This is a good area for the arts," Moss says. "Usually arts are for the segment of the population who can afford them. And this area has a lot of people who can afford to go to plays, or to art shows,'* Moss is particularly proud of the development of the Art-Is program, which exposes youngsters to the arts. But when she is not coordinating for Urban Arts, Moss is busy coordinating a new marriage. She has only been married for seven months and is still trying to balance a career and a marriage.

"This is my home and 1 wanted to bring some elegance and excitement here," says Terrence, director and producer of a modeling group called Jefferson and Company. A 1976 graduate of East Forsyth High School, Terrence attended Winston-Salem State University for a summer session and later enrolled in Thomas Moore College; a private Cathode school in Fort Mitchell, Ky. While majoring in business and history there, he organized and directed several fashion shows. He says he is especially proud of his production, "We've Come A Long Way," which traces the progress of blacks in fashion over the past 50 years.

She added, "I also want to work to see that the drinking age is raised to 21." Wanna Coker, a 14-year-old, said, 4'There were a lot of problems in our neighborhood with drunken drivers and I know some people who have been caught driving under the influence. And that affects me. A lot of young kids have also been killed by drunken drivers and that is not fair to them. Drunken ^drivers should not be allowed to drive. Hopefully, I think what we are doing will cut down on the number of people who drink and drive." Several other students became involved in the program because they said they realized that, although they could not make changes alone, an organized group might have an impact. "I could sec the problem (drinking and driving) growing everyday," Ramon Moses, an 18-year-old senior high school student said. "It's nothing I can say or do alone, but with a group, I can help make changes." "What we are doing also has had an effect on the grown-ups. They say, 'If the kids are doing something, then we need to be doing something/" Moses said. "I thought it would be a good idea to promote a program like this," Perrin Black, a 17-year-old, said.
