Fresh Air Kids Enjoyed Big Splashes This Summer

 

Throughout the summer almost 200 city kids enjoyed time in the country through the Fresh Air Fund program in the Fairfield County area.  

"We want to say thank you to those families that participated for giving these kids a break this summer by sharing your hearts and homes for two weeks," Martha MIntzer, representative for the FAF.

"With your help, inner-city children enjoyed a safe and fun-filled summer. We hope that you will keep us in  your hearts and minds and volunteer early for next year.  The Fresh Air Fund is always looking for host families," Mintzer said, adding that she would be happy to answer questions from families that are interested in the program. 

Call Martha Mintzer at 203-226-6627 or visit the website at www.freshair.org.  

"We hope to hear from many more families, as well as from those that families continue to invite the same children back each summer," she said.

"Bethel teachers are not only educating students, but when society lets kids down, it’sRead More teachers who step in to fill the gap." Explain to me how an average salary of $60,000 per year for working 183 days during that year and an EXTREMELY generous retirement package (compared to the 240 a year the rest of us have to work) considered "society letting them down"?
