Winston-Salem Delta Fine Arts 'Adopts a Community' ,
Members of Winston
.Salem Delta Fine Arts, assisted
by the local chapter, have
adopted the Lakeside Commu
nity as its project for the year.
The project, Adopt-a-Commu
nity, began last summer with an
enrichment camp program for
the children of the Lakeside
!;' community. During the five
? week period, many experiences
>? were challenged by the stu
dents.
Others activities since
& camp have been a visit to see
the "Nutcracker" ballet, dinner
- at Cafe Piaf, a trip to see "The
Festival of Lights" at Tangle
wood, and an ice cream party.
The children will attend
Brendle Hall on Wake Forest
Campus Feb. 16 to hear the
Winston-Salem Symphony as it
performs the captivating story
"Beethoven Lives Upstairs."
Following the concert, the chil
dren will have dinner at a local
restaurant.
The meeting held Saturday
Operation Will Power
sets sights at 20,000
The leaders of Operation
Will Power hope to have the
number of students who have
pledged to remain free from
drugs, crime, gun use and going
to jail reach 20,000 by Feb.
28,1997.
Operation Will Power is a
motivational campaign that
stresses freedom through self
awareness, self-control and self
denial. The campaign which
started approximately five
months ago has had over 3,500
students, from nine schools take
the pledge to remain free from
the evils of crime, violence and
. imprisonment, gun use and
drugs. Each student who
pledges to remain free receives
a certificate, which has been
signed by the mayor, the police
chief, the school superintendent
and the district attorney. The
- certificate has a place for the
principal of the school, a friend
of the student, the pastor/spiri
tual leader of the student and the
family physician. The power of
this certificate is that a child will
- be more concerned about his or
her activities, particularly in the
areas mentioned, jf the student
is aware that all of these individ
uals are watching.
Along with the certificate,
the child also receives a compo
sition book that has the logo of
the campaign.
Operation Will Power will
be introduced to all counties in
North Carolina by Spring of
- 1998.
