            <title>Is online personal training suitable for you?</title>

            <description><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Over the years there have been several technological advances and as such the internet is being used more regularly. Online training has become a very common way to get in shape. Many virtual programs and trainers provide many alternatives such as contest preparation coaching, tailored fitness programs and most importantly nutritional guidance. These are some of the main reasons why training online has become an attractive alternative over actual one-on-one personal training in a practical environment. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">Another couple of valid reasons why most people prefer training online are geographical restrictions and time constraints. Not each single individual has the time to meet with a trainer three or four times during the week, and most individuals cannot drive for long distances just to meet with a trainer. With an online trainer you have 24/7 access to communicate through phone or email if you have any concerns or questions. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">So far training online seems like a win-win situation. However, with any good utility service, there are always disadvantages and advantages, nothing is ever perfect. Online <a href="https://www.charlottepersonaltrainer.org/">Charlotte fitness training</a> has become a very powerful tool in providing services to a huge audience but the growth has stimulated competition among trainers in commercial gyms who are struggling to standout.<span>  </span>The first important factor you should consider while choosing an online trainer is credibility and source. There is no real substitute for meeting a personal trainer one-on-one, watching them in action with other clients and creating that relationship with one another. There are several certifications out there. Many are well respected and legit, while others are not. Today, anyone can become ...</span></p>]]></description>

Some of these people might get the latest diet  pills with lots of promises such as best supplements that can lose a  pound within a week or a miracle pill to suppress appetite while few of  might not know where and how to start their weight loss goals.

<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">Actually, it might be  one of the realistic goals of eager individuals who want to lose weight  in a period of time. Though you are participating in a weight loss  program, you may not lose these amounts instantly. You need to wait for  at least two months to get sexy and fit body.</p>

<p style="text-align:justify;" class="MsoNormal">Our body needs fuel to  function efficiently, so we need to take at least one source of  carbohydrates such as potato, wheat bread and corn.

            <description><![CDATA[<p>If you are a wine connoisseur then you will want to share your love for wines with your friends and family, and what better way to do this than to prepare a wine and cheese party. This is a way for you and your friends to socialize and share in your love of wines. The best things in life are to be shared among special people.</p>

<p>The best time to have this event is on the weekend preferably on a Friday or Saturday when your guests will be able to rest up before work on Monday morning. You should send invitations out early for your intended guests to have time to prepare for attending your event. These parties are usually private so your guest list maybe about 10 persons. A large guest list means you have less time to socialize with each person, so really consider having a wine and cheese party that is intimate.</p>

<p>The wines will be your choice of your favorites so, have fun. You may want to suggest to your guests to take a bottle of their favorite wine also, never think that your taste is what your friends will like. The whole occasion is to enjoy the company of special friends, and you want them to feel comfortable. You many want to have a few bottles of the pricier wines to the collection you will be serving, these could be Cabernet Sauvignon, Shiraz, Malbec, or Chianti as your selection of red wines. Your white wines can be Pinot Grigio, Sauvignon Blanc, or Chardonnay. These wines will go well with your cheese platter.</p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Your truck works hard in the heat of an Idaho summer, but with proper maintenance of its air conditioning system, you don't have to swelter. The cab of your truck should be an oasis of cool comfort even on hot days, but if it isn't, the fix may be easier than you think. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-us">A truck's air conditioning system works on the same principle as the central air or window unit in your home. It's the same principle that makes your refrigerator work too. The AC transfers heat from inside an enclosed space to the outside air via coolant that flows in a closed loop. Although it has the same name, this coolant isn't related to the fluid that keeps your engine from overheating. As the coolant expands into a gas, it rapidly cools, chilling the evaporator coil array. Fans send the cold air into your truck's cab. The compressor then forces the gas back into liquid form so the cycle can begin again. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-us"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-us">If your system is topped off with coolant and its coils are clean, the AC transfers heat efficiently, drawing less power from your engine. Whether your truck has a GMC/Chevy Duramax, a Dodge Cummins or a Ford Powerstroke engine, you want as much of its power as possible to go to hauling and towing, not cooling. An efficient air conditioner is also a less expensive air conditioner, so having your local diesel engine repair shop maintain your vehicle's AC system makes financial sense too. </span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Exercise builds strong bones, increases flexibility and helps protect you from muscle loss. For all its benefits, though, starting a new exercise regimen when you aren't prepared for it can put undue stress on your weight-bearing joints, especially if you cope with osteoarthritis or have recently had an orthopedic procedure such as knee surgery or hip replacement. Local Boise, Idaho, orthopedic surgeons have some advice for people who want to step up their activity level safely. </span></p>

Electronics and the web and what it is able to do, are moving at such a fast pace, that utilizing this wonderful device is considered smart. This is where eCommerce comes in. What is eCommerce? It is the concept of buying and selling any item that value in monetary terms can attract a person to buy, when it is viewed online.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';">This innovative way of attracting people to get your goods and services when you post it online via the internet is quite genius. In the past, the commerce we know of was using catalogs. You look at the catalogs, see what you like, then you place an order to the company, money is exchanged and then you have your goods or merchandise delivered to you. How easy is that? Now you can view what you like by clicking on the company's web page; decide what you like, you purchase it also via the internet because your bank account is linked to the internet. Then your purchase is delivered to your door. With this kind of service, we dont have to even out of bed. We just click, and click again and our business transaction is completed. This is eCommerce.</span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';" xml:lang="en-gb">Get your lounge room looking right and the rest will follow. Serenity, peace and comfort for all those who enter your sanctuary. A great way to do this is by colour-matching and sticking to the same style throughout. Think of certain items as a 'blank canvas' of sorts. Then experiment with splashes of colour or different patterns. For example, you can start off with a white (or cream) walls, curtains and carpet, and then build your own look from there. Speak with Lifestyle Lounges of Sofas. They have everything from fabric lounges to leather recliners and home theatre lounges, all at reasonable prices.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';" xml:lang="en-gb">Dark chesterfield lounges or leather recliner chairs in a rich mahogany, plum, cerise or chocolate, can contrast well against white walls. This creates a sumptuous and cosy atmosphere. A trend in 2013 is for a woven, ivory-coloured floor matting on top of polished light floor boards. Couple this with strong warm hues in the furnishings and lounge furniture. A good rule of thumb, is to keep the balance of light and dark in check. Don't overdo it with loads of different shades. More than two or three principle shades is enough. Any more than this will confuse the eye, and add a busy atmosphere to the room.<span>  </span></span></p>

This basically means that all materials, such as: plastic, metal, paper or even food are recycled. These materials then find their way back into the natural environment as innocuous and harmless substances. A truly cradle-to-cradle system, in which the materials are used over and over again hasn't materialised yet, however experts say that this should happen in the next few years.</span></p>

<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;" xml:lang="en-us">Beating summer heat is more than a matter of comfort; it's also important to your joint health. Heat exhaustion, heatstroke and increased chances of injury rise during the summer months, but with proper precautions and advice from sports medicine specialists, you can enjoy summer fun without injury. <br /><br />
During the summer, exertion and heat contributes to dehydration, which in turn leaves you prone to heat illness in the form of cramping, heat exhaustion and dangerous heatstroke. Dr. Michael Shevlin, a Meridian, Idaho, orthopedic doctor and avid summer sports enthusiast, emphasizes the need to watch for the signs of heat illness and combat them before they worsen. &quot;Muscle cramps and dizziness are your body's way of telling you to take a break, drink some water and stretch,&quot; he says. &quot;Pay attention to those signals and rest when necessary.&quot; <br /><br />
As Boise, Idaho, orthopedic surgeon Dr. Robert Hansen points out, heat also contributes indirectly to a rise in joint and bone injuries. &quot;When your muscles cramp or become fatigued, you work harder to compensate,&quot; he says, &quot;leaving you vulnerable to pulled muscles, sprains and falls.&quot; As a shoulder and hand specialist, Dr. Hansen has seen numerous upper limb injuries in hikers who become tired, stumble and fall awkwardly on a wrist or elbow. &quot;Taking a few minutes from a strenuous workout to rest can save you hours of fracture care later.&quot; <br /><br />
Dr. Shevlin and Dr. Hansen recommend taking the following steps to avoid heat illness during summer activities. </span></p>

<p><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-us">Hollywood has long had a love affair with trucks. When a studio wants to show the protagonist as a powerful hero but still down-to-earth guy, it puts him behind the wheel of a truck. Sometimes the truck itself is the hero; think of the countrified but charming tow truck Mater in &quot;Cars.&quot; The latest in a long line of truck tie-ins is the &quot;Man of Steel&quot; version of a Dodge Ram pickup with print ads and television spots linking the vehicle and the superhero. After the movie's premiere in New York, the custom-painted Superman-themed truck will be auctioned for charity. <br /><br />
Onscreen, these trucks and their GMC/Chevy Duramax, Dodge Cummins or Ford Powerstroke engines do some amazing tricks, up to and including transforming into sentient, world-saving robots like Ironhide in &quot;Transformers&quot; whose alter-ego was a GMC diesel. Your truck may not perform Hollywood-quality stunts, says Gem State Diesel's master technician Gage Burlingame, but a well-maintained diesel engine can manage some remarkable real-world heroics. &quot;When you need your truck to pull a stump or tow a horse trailer, you'll be glad you picked something with enough power to do the job,&quot; he says. &quot;Diesel maintenance takes a little more effort, but it pays off in reliability and power.&quot; <br /><br />
Burlingame recommends regular maintenance visits for diesel engines. &quot;Every engine needs occasional maintenance, but because diesel engines are made with precision parts, they should be inspected frequently. A diesel fuel injection pump that needs cleaning can lower fuel efficiency by as much as 20 percent and rob a truck of its towing capacity. Think of the particulates and contaminants that get into fuel lines as your truck's kryptonite.&quot; <br /><br />

<p><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:11pt;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;" xml:lang="en-us">The pain and stiffness of osteoarthritis often strikes first at your knees, limiting free movement and affecting your lifestyle. One therapy may offer relief for some patients by injecting Supartz, a hyaluronate fluid, into the knee to cushion and lubricate the joint. Visco supplementation therapy offers some patients a non-surgical way to restore full motion to affected knees. However, not all patients are ideal candidates for Supartz therapy; in advanced osteoarthritis cases, knee resurfacing or full knee replacement may be a better long-term solution. <br /><br />
Boise, Idaho orthopedic surgeon Dr. George Nicola of West Idaho Orthopedics suggests talking about all options when deciding whether Supartz therapy can work for you. &quot;It's important to understand the limitations of visco supplementation and to be informed of all possibilities,&quot; he said. &quot;Joint replacement surgery, particularly minimally invasive surgery using quad-sparing techniques, may be the preferred option for patients who have advanced osteoarthritis.&quot; <br /><br />
In its earliest stages, osteoarthritis responds well to non-steroidal pain relief medications and physical therapy. When these are no longer enough to manage pain and stiffness, Supartz therapy can forestall surgery. Dr. Nicola points out, though, that &quot;injections temporarily lubricate the joint but are not meant to provide permanent relief.&quot; The hyaluronic acid in Supartz and other visco supplementation injections is similar to the fluid naturally found in your joints and performs a similar function, but it cannot re-grow lost cartilage. However, it can offer immediate pain relief in many cases. Over time, osteoarthritis causes significant changes to the knee's structure. At that point, knee surgery becomes a more promising possibility than temporary measures. <br /><br />
If you have a history of allergies to poultry, eggs, feathers or other products from birds, hyaluronate injections may ...</span></p>]]></description>

Heat and warmth from the sun can still penetrate the solar blanket and enter the water, turning into heat. This means that the swimming pool heater is required to be turned on much less frequently and for shorter periods of time, resulting in significant savings on energy. </span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span lang="en-gb" style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';" xml:lang="en-gb">Hardwood flooring should be acclimatised to the environment where it will lay before it's installed.

The study indicated, for example, that &quot;European oak&quot;, &quot;coffee machine&quot; and &quot;premier schools&quot; were popular for top-end buyers, whilst &quot;portfolio&quot;, &quot;tenant&quot; and &quot;vacant&quot; were important to buyers seeking more affordable homes.</span></p>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';">Cotton clothes are not equal in strength or durability as the ones made from bamboo and lack several of the features bamboo naturally provides. Bamboo fiber in its original form extends environmental benefits to a user, plus it contains natural antibacterial properties that are gentle on the skin. Suggestively, sportsmen and women are to make their decisions reflecting the values of choosing pieces of active wear that support sports life. Bamboo sports apparel is as sensible as any other sports investment. Soft indeed, cotton as a fiber does portray this characteristic, but in measuring the depth of this benefit, bamboo fabric has an unequalled suppleness. Countless times, a comparison to cashmere or silk resolutely gives an exacting feel of its texture. </span></p>

Several reasons explain an onset of hair loss in dogs, but a deficiency of essential nutrients is usually the cause.

            <description><![CDATA[<p></p>
<p></p><p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span style="font-size:8pt;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';">Residents of the Boise, Meridian, Nampa and Caldwell  Idaho, region who are in the market for a pre-owned diesel truck should trust diesel experts before buying, suggests one local diesel engine repair shop. Although diesel engines are durable and economical, they also require special care that their previous owners may not have given them. An expert can assess the state of a vehicle's diesel fuel injection pump, air intake and other crucial elements to ensure that the engine performs as it should. <br /><br />
A diesel engine repair shop that works with major names such as the GMC-Chevy Duramax diesel engine, Dodge-Cummins diesel engine and Ford-Powerstroke diesel engine is more familiar with these specialized motors than a general automotive repair shop. A visual inspection can offer clues to how well the vehicle has been maintained, but a closer inspection of important parts such as the diesel fuel injection pump and the air filtration system is best left to trained specialists. <br /><br />
A diesel engine uses more air and burns through oil more quickly than a standard gasoline engine. Previous owners who were unaware of a diesel engine's maintenance needs may not have adhered to their vehicles' suggested schedule for oil changes and filter checks. A professional can assess the wear that an engine may have received from sporadic maintenance and offer diesel engine parts to replace worn elements. <br /><br />
Another benefit to seeking expert advice from specialists is that any repairs can be performed in-house as soon as the need for a repair is discovered. Says Gem State Diesel ASE Certified Technician Gage Burlingame, a specialized repair shop is also more likely to have diesel engine parts on hand for a Dodge-Cummins,, GMC-Chevy Duramax, or Ford-Powerstroke diesel engines.<span>   </span>Gem  State ...</span></p>]]></description>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';" xml:lang="en-us">The physicians at West Idaho Orthopedic announce their latest Fit &amp; Flexible range of motion exercises to those seeking preventative orthopedic care. Range of motion exercises help maintain muscle strength and joint flexibility, and encourage blood flow to the area being exercised. <br /><br />
The ROM, or range of motion, is a medical term used to describe the amount of flexibility you have in each joint, like the knee, the elbows, the hips and more, explained Dr. Charles Schneider of WIO. Stiff joints get that way from lack of use, so in order to keep your normal range of motion in all your joints, it is important that you move them every day.<br /><br />
Normal daily tasks such as housework, climbing stairs and walking around are not considered ROM exercises, he added.<br /><br />
A good ROM exercise to increase shoulder flexibility is the shoulder shrug, said Schneider, who has practiced orthopedic surgery for over 30 years. Raise the shoulders to the ears, hold for five seconds and then relax. Next, contract the shoulder blades together, hold and relax. Draw the shoulders forward, hold, and relax. Repeat each exercise several times, and then combine them in one smooth motion. Repeat five to 10 rolls in each direction.<br /><br />
Dr. Michael J. Shevlin, who joined WIOs staff in 2010, recommends the hamstring stretch to help increase the range of motion in the hip. To do the hamstring stretch, lie on your back on the floor. Place a towel or pillowcase behind one knee, hold it with both hands and gently lift the leg up toward the chest; do not jerk the leg. Hold the stretch for 10 to 15 seconds and then repeat with the other leg.<br /><br /></span></p>]]></description>

<p class="MsoNoSpacing"><span lang="en-us" style="font-size:9pt;font-family:Verdana, 'sans-serif';" xml:lang="en-us">Not only can you expect to live longer, you'll also probably enjoy better health throughout that longer life. Part of that better health lies in maintaining good orthopedic fitness; staying active is vital to your overall health. Advances in orthopedic procedures such as knee replacement, hip replacement and shoulder surgery preserve your freedom of movement for a lifetime. Whether all that stands between you and recapturing the mobility you once had is a minimally invasive surgery or full joint replacement, the expert staff at West Idaho Orthopedics can help. A Caldwell Idaho orthopedic surgeon can help you reclaim your freedom with a knee resurfacing or joint replacement. <br /><br />
Sports medicine may conjure images of professional athletes dealing with fracture care after an injury on the field, but the same physiological principles that let the pros get back to running past defenders also help you return to kneeling in your garden or walking the dog. In fact, those who lead an active lifestyle are often those who can benefit the most from seeing specialists in sports medicine. Pain and stiffness that presages later orthopedic concerns can begin as early as the 30s for some people, so listen to your body and seek orthopedic advice today. <br /><br />
West Idaho Orthopedics takes a nuanced approach to treatment that takes all aspects of your care into account. Your hip discomfort could require a lifestyle change, physical therapy or minimally invasive surgery such as hip resurfacing, but you'll achieve the best results with a combination of treatments. </span></p>

            <title>Volunteer with Summer Buds Reading Program through June/July</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/16179/Volunteer_with_Summer_Buds_Reading_Program_through_June_July</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p> Hello to all those in <b>New Haven</b> for the <b>summer!</b></p>
<p>My name is Ben Lash and I am the 2011 coordinator for <b>Summer Buds</b>, a summer reading program for New Haven 2nd, 3rd, and 4th graders. Summer Buds is a program that pairs a Yale student or &quot;Big&quot;  that's you  with a New Haven student, or &quot;Little&quot;  a New Haven middle school student in need of mentor, teacher, and friend.</p>
<p>That's where you come in.  As a Big, you teach your Little to read and to love reading.  The group is also a wonderful summer community. We go on field trips, play group games, and hold adult-only events for volunteer bonding. </p>
<p>If you want to do a little community service while you're here over the summer, being a Summer Buds tutor is a wonderful opportunity. Littles generally begin Summer Buds as middle-of-the-road students, but, with your help, improve considerably over the course of the summer.               </p>
<p>The program meets at the<b> Slifka Center</b> during <b>June</b> and <b>July</b>, on <b>Tuesdays</b> and <b>Thursdays</b> from <b>5:30 to 7:00 p.m.</b>, a time slot that works well with most research positions and other activities people do on campus during those months. We will also have a get to know you pizza party on Wednesday, June 1. </p>
<p>If you're interested in being a tutor or have more questions, please e-mail me at summerbuds@gmail.com. We'd love to have you this summer!</p>
<p>Best,             Ben             Summer Buds Coordinatorsummerbuds@gmail.com</p>]]></description>

<div>Hi Everyone!<br /><br />
The American Red Cross at Yale has teamed up with Yale EMS and     received UOFC funding in order to offer subsidized<b> CPR + AED       certification</b>  to 60 students. This certification normally     costs between $55-$65,  but during this one-time event, the class     will be available for only  $33 a person. The 3-hr long classes will     be held on <b>Thursday April 28th, one at 10AM and one at 2PM</b>.     This will be during reading week. <br /><br />
If you're interested in taking the course please <b>bring        cash or a check</b>, made payable to &quot;American Red Cross at Yale&quot;     in the amount of <b>$33</b> during those times. but you are certain that you will take the     course please email   <a href="mailto:lisa.tran@yale.edu"><span class="il"></span></a><a href="mailto:lisa.tran@yale.edu">lisa.tran@yale.edu</a> to let her know. <br /><br />
Sign-ups will be on a first come first serve basis, so once the     slots fill up, we won't be able to offer any more.</div>

<p class="MsoNormal"><a href="https://sites.google.com/site/yalehappyproject/">HAPPY, Hypertension Awareness &amp; Prevention Program at Yale</a>, is a collaboration of Yale University students, health professionals, and New Haven health care agencies dedicated to providing regular hypertension screenings, linking hypertensive individuals with affordable and immediate medical care, and eliminating barriers to preventive health care for under-served communities in New Haven, CT. The ultimate goal of HAPPY is to establish cost-effective, long term community based approaches that foster self-management behaviors for chronic hypertension among the homeless population. HAPPY volunteers are trained to conduct weekly blood pressure screenings in community soup kitchens and centers and refer hypertensive patients for follow-up care.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">We are currently looking for dedicated student volunteers to work with HAPPY during summer. If you are interested, please email <a href="mailto:yale.happy.project@gmail.com">yale.happy.project@gmail.com</a>!</p>]]></description>

<p class="p3"><b>Background: </b>Academics Stand Against Poverty, or ASAP, is a new organization in which academics collaborate in order to have a greater impact on issues of global poverty. Its aim is to help academics leverage their expertise on such issues by making effective interventions in public debates, by supporting good work by international agencies and non-governmental organizations, and by launching real-world projects aimed at realizing positive change.

Help Fund a Student's High School Education.<br /><br />
The Village Education Project Summer Volunteer Program is seeking <br />
motivated college students to teach in rural Ecuador this summer. <br />
Volunteers teach underprivileged seventh graders who cannot afford to <br />
attend high school and who come from impoverished primary schools unable <br />
to provide adequate preparation. Using a curriculum designed by <br />
Ecuadorian teachers and principals and American education students and <br />
professors, volunteers are tasked with helping the seventh grade <br />
students get up to grade level. Those who pass the high school entrance <br />
exam at the end of the summer will receive a full scholarship from The <br />
Village Education Project, including the cost of all school supplies.<br /><br />
All fees paid by volunteers will be used to fund these scholarships, so <br />
participation not only helps kids learn, but provides the financial <br />
means to send the kids from the summer program to high school that year. <br />
Almost every student sponsored by The Village Education Project is the <br />
first in their family to attend high school due to the high cost--about <br />
$200 per year--of secondary education in Ecuador. Our past volunteers <br />
have come from colleges all over the country including Swarthmore, UNC <br />
Chapel Hill, Dartmouth Harvard, Stanford, UC Berkeley, Yale, Duke, Oxford, <br />
Amherst, Williams, and many others.<br /><br />
The Summer 2011 program lasts from June 19th till August 5th and the<br />
exact program dates are flexible according to applicant's schedule.<br /><br />
For details on the program; pictures, videos and narratives from past <br />
volunteers; costs; and an official application,  please ...</span></span></p>]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal">The Yale Sight Savers Program (YSSP) is a collaboration between the faculty and students of Yale College, the Yale School of Medicine and the Yale Medical Group, united by the common goal of reducing the burden of glaucoma-related vision loss in the community. With generous funding and logistical support provided by the Yale Department of Ophthalmology and the Friends of the Congressional Glaucoma Caucus Foundation, we have been organizing and conducting vision screenings since 2005, catering specifically to the at-risk and underserved populations of New Haven and Fairfield Counties. This year, Yale Sight Savers Program is pursuing many exciting new initiatives that bring together undergraduates, medical students and ophthalmology residents to work together towards making a tangible impact on the vision health of the residents living in our local communities.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The underserved communities which we are dedicated to serve experience serious barriers to care and are often disenfranchised from the health care system. YSSP is dedicated to creating cost-effective, community-based approaches to connect the underserved community members with the health care system through medical service, education, advocacy, and research. Our ultimate aim is to reduce patient barriers to care and improve patient adherence to treatment.</p>

            <title>PUBLIC HEARING ON ABOLITION OF CT DEATH PENALTY: MARCH 7 RSVPS NEEDED!</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/15670/PUBLIC_HEARING_ON_ABOLITION_OF_CT_DEATH_PENALTY_MARCH_7_RSVPS_NEEDED</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>In 2009, Connecticut came very close to abolishing the death penalty when we passed an anti-death penalty bill by wide margins in the house and senate. That year, Gov. Jodi Rell vetoed the bill. But in 2011, with a new anti-death penalty governor, we have the power to pass abolition again and give CT a criminal justice system without executions.</p>
<p>On Monday, March 7, abolition supporters from across CT will converge on Hartford for the state legislature's public hearing on the 2011 abolition bill. We are working hard to build a loud, powerful pro-repeal crowd at the hearing and show legislators that the people of CT are ready to end the death penalty now! You can vote with your feet by coming to the public hearing - every person in the room on the 7th will make a difference.</p>
<p>If you will be in CT on the 7th, which is the first day of Yale's spring break, student organizers will bring you to Hartford for the hearing. CNADP (Connecticut Network to Abolish the Death Penalty) is arranging free transportation for all students and college-age youth.</p>
<p>Can you sign up to attend the hearing now? YES! Contact CNADP youth organizer Amalia Skilton (<a href="mailto:amalia.skilton@yale.edu">amalia.skilton@yale.edu</a>, 480-246-9749) for more information.</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p class="ecxMsoNormal"><span style="font-family:Arial;font-size:10pt;">FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE: 21st February 2011<br /><br />
ANGEL JUST-RIGHTS, Rebecca Parker (Publication date: 13 Feb 11; Biography &amp; Autobiography, Psychology, Social Sciences, Anorexia, Mental Health).<br /><br />
Talented new author exposes exhilarating epic of endurance: beautifully candid, bravely sincere, witty, compelling, and astute. Launched in conjunction with NEDAwareness Week (20th  26th February 2011) and adeptly reflecting this years theme  Its Time to Talk about It  the World excitedly receives exclusive, highly original work of fiction. Based on a true story of one childs lost voice in Angel Just-Rights lays an astonishing story of strength: easy-to-read (far from superficial), a thought-provoking motivator, and an insightful presage for all...<br /><br />
Evolution of the book  realisation into the debilitating extent at which broken down channels of communication, life experiences, and ingrained individualistic personality traits, have been allowed in full strength and power to render one so weak  are explained by Parker in her beginning Preface. Book 1 delves into issues relating to everyday living such as dealing with strict family values, loyalty and devotion while intermittently riddling with her reader in efforts to gain the yearned-for rationality and reassurance so desperately sought. At the height of deathly battles, harrowing happenings of Book 2 raise one simple question: how can implicitly pure intentions precipitate such devastating results? A plethora of mortifyingly unhealthy, demoralising and ritualistic behaviours manifesting deeply in a single fragile life so touched by the world around her are showered, shatteringly, over the reader.<br /><br />
Gradually learning how coping in silence can cruelly fester, devastating consequences are hastened: eating disorders (Anorexia Nervosa and Bulimia), post-traumatic stresses and flash-backs, self-harm, psychosis, suicidal desires, over-exercise, increasing obsessions, extreme rituals, distorted beliefs leading to incredibly debilitating afflictions to low self-esteem, mood swings, depression, hospitalisations, sectioning under Mental ...</span></p>]]></description>

The Reblaw &amp; Human Rights in Academia Conferences are coming up - sign up links are below. You have a couple of chances to do some quick advocacy work by discussing antiwar strategy at the People's Center or by picketing with the New Haven Worker's Association. Remember to submit your own advocacy actions to<a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(102,153,204);" href="http://advocacyminute.wordpress.com/">Advocacy Minute</a>! The Public Health Film Festival and Global Health Incubator Workshop are coming up soon in March. There are still a few summer &amp; spring break options - check out Spring Break in New Haven, and applications for Harvest leaders are due by Friday.  If you're looking for a moment of service this week, be sure to join Habitat for Humanity in a build this Saturday! Finally, be sure to take the Magee Fellows up on their offer for lunch - they're wonderful folks who know a lot about Dwight Hall.</p>

weekly lunches happening <strong>Tuesdays at noon in Trumbull College</strong>. As you<br />
may know, the Magee Fellows are graduate students on the Dwight Hall<br />
staff here to support DH member groups through leadership development,<br />
reflection, and opportunities to combine issues of social action &amp;<br />
service with issues of faith &amp; spirituality. The goal of our lunches<br />
is to have open ended conversations and to facilitate relationships<br />
between DH groups. All are welcome, from Dwight Hall veterans to folks<br />
just checking out what the Hall has to offer. Feel free to join us<br />
from noon onwards--look out for the Dwight Hall sign--that's us!<br /><br />

<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;font-weight:bold;color:rgb(0,0,0);line-height:normal;">Dwight Hall offers funding to member groups through two funds:</span></p>
<p>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial, sans-serif;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;"></span> 
</p><div><b>The Campus and Community Fund</b></div>
<div>Through the Campus and Community Fund, Dwight Hall provides $12,000 in funding to member groups each semester. The application deadline for spring 2011 has passed. Please check back at the end of August 2011 for the application for fall 2011.</div>
<div> </div>
<div><b>The Loving Kindness Fund</b></div>
<div>
<div>The Loving Kindness Fund was established in March 2003 by Fenmore R. Seton 38 and Charles and Dinny Wakerley to honor Phyllis Z. Seton. The purpose of this fund is to enable Dwight Hall member groups and individual Dwight Hall volunteers to engage in small-scale outings with project participants and enhance existing Dwight Hall projects through small acts of kindness.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Examples of activities that might be made possible by the Fund include taking your mentee or tutee out for lunch or purchasing art supplies for a student you think would really appreciate it, etc.  Money from the Fund cannot be used on Yale volunteers, and in the spirit in which the Fund was established, the limit for funding requests is $75 or less.  This does not substitute Campus and Community funding or UOFC funding. This Fund is for spontaneous, smaller scale activities and ideas.</div>
<div style="font-weight:bold;"> </div>
</div>
<div>Applications for the Loving Kindness fund are accepted on a rolling basis through <strong>Friday, April 1, 2011</strong>. <a href="http://imgdr.massmind.com/uploads/dh/file/Loving Kindness Fund application spring 11.doc">Click here for the application.</a></div>

<p><span style="font-size:smaller;"></span> 
<span style="font-family:Arial;"><span style="font-size:smaller;"></span>Join Neighborhood Housing Services and work alongside young adults from New Haven. The goal of the program is to empower and educate future community leaders. In order to accomplish this, we have enlisted the help of current community leaders, public speakers, politicians, businesspeople, and other experts. They will offer their knowledge and expertise to program participants in evening seminars, organized by topic (see below). These five topics are crucial areas for the development of skills that will help turn participants into effective, distinguished leaders. Classes will be organized in a way that best helps the participants to acquire these skills, which includes brief lectures, discussion, and related activities.

These classes will be held at our lab at 333 Sherman Avenue.  We also have a field trip planned to the CT Rock Climbing Gym on #91 Shelton Avenue in Newhallville on February 23<sup>rd</sup>.  There is no cost for the program but it is expected that people commit to at least five of the six classes.  This is a great opportunity for Yale students to sit side by side, and work side by side, with New Haven residents and co-learn with each other and with an excellent set of facilitators.</span></span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Arial;"> </span></p>

I write to inform you of some exciting initiatives focused on the intersection of human rights as an academic field of study and the comprehensive development and implementation of human rights principles.<br /><br />
Confronting enduring problems of political repression, social inequality, inter-ethnic violence, and other human rights abuses demands substantive academic inquiry, as well as the education of a new generation of leaders sensitive to the complexity and interrelated dimensions of these problems. This will require systematic, sustained pedagogy in the field of human rights studies at both undergraduate and graduate levels. Join with us to bring a disciplined academic perspective to the definition, analysis, and implementation of human rights agendas.<br /><br /></span><a href="https://spreadsheets.google.com/viewform?formkey=dF9ZZ0hGVVlraXAyQUFvdkdmN3dlSVE6MQ">Click Here</a> to Reserve your Place at the Human Rights in Academia Conference <span style="font-size:large;">(Saturday, April 2 from 9:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Linsly-Chittenden Hall (LC), Room 102)</span></p>
<div><span style="font-size:large;"><br /></span>
<div>At the conference you will meet prominent academics, practitioners, and world leaders working on human rights issues. Advancing the status of human rights studies while generating energy, collaboration, and action is the larger objective of the conference.

During the week of <b>February 21-27</b>, YHHAP will be hosting 12 homeless men in the parish house of Center Church on the Green, as part of a larger New Haven project, Abraham's Tent, designed to offer an intimate and positive shelter opportunity for its participants. Participants typically experience greater rates of success in finding housing following the program (of last year's 12 men, 10 are currently housed), and it's a very powerful, gratifying, and fun experience for volunteers.<br /><br />
Since the week will be entirely organized/staffed by student volunteers, we need YOU! There will be two shifts a day, requiring at least 7 volunteers in total: a dinner shift (preparing and serving) from 4-7 pm, and a night shift from 6 pm-6 am. Both offer a great opportunity to interact in really direct way and unique setting with the community that so many YHHAP projects serve. You can indicate all your availability the week of Feb 21-26, as well as the group with whom you'd like to volunteer, and we will try to set you up in the same shift. <br /><br />
The sign-up takes less than a minute, and can be found at the bottom of this page:<br /><br /><a href="http://www.yale.edu/yhhap/Abrahams_Tent.html" style="color:rgb(6,88,181);">http://www.yale.edu/yhhap/Abrahams_Tent.html</a> <br /><br />
Holler if you have any questions (<a href="mailto:jeannette.penniman@yale.edu" style="color:rgb(6,88,181);">jeannette.penniman@yale.edu</a>, <a href="mailto:andrea.white@yale.edu" style="color:rgb(6,88,181);">andrea.white@yale.edu</a>, or <a href="mailto:nathaniel.zelinsky@yale.edu" style="color:rgb(6,88,181);">nathaniel.zelinsky@yale.edu</a>), and get your friends to sign up as well! and keep your feet out of all these puddles.</span></p>]]></description>

<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse;">The Summer Enrichment Program (SEP), founded in 1986 in the Department of Health Management and Policy at the University of Michigan's School of Public Health, is designed to familiarize undergraduate students with inequalities in health and health care that confront low-income communities across the United<br />
States.<br /><br />
Many hospitals, health centers, and other health and health care organizations in the Detroit-Ann Arbor-Flint area have agreed to provide paid ($3,000 for the summer) eight-week summer internships to qualified undergraduate students from across the country who demonstrate an interest in the elimination of racial/ethnic health disparities.<br /><br />
These internships are great opportunities for students interested in health policy, health management (including finance and health information systems), the health professions, or any career which will enable them to use their skills in a socially meaningful way. Accepted students also receive, at no cost to them, on-campus housing, a food allowance and travel expenses to and from Ann Arbor. We also provide transportation to and from the internship sites.<br /><br />
The application is available at: <a style="color:rgb(6,88,181);" href="http://www.sph.umich.edu/sep/">http://www.sph.umich.edu/sep/</a>.<br />
The application deadline is February 4, 2011.<br /><br />
Please contact Charlita Daniels, Program Coordinator, or </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:arial, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse;">Richard Lichtenstein</span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse;"> if you would like to </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:arial, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:13px;border-collapse:collapse;">discuss the Summer Enrichment Program further.

<ul>
    <li><b>&quot;Unique Opened&quot;</b> and <b>&quot;Open Rate&quot;</b> under represent the number of unique recipients because they count only successful pings to our servers.  Blackberries, text only readers and all mail readers where the user does not select &quot;download pictures&quot; are not counted.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
    <li>Total opened includes every time the email is opened and read.  Our experience is the actual  number of  readers is somewhere between<b> &quot;Unique&quot; </b>and <b>&quot;Total&quot;</b> and the actual open rate is at least 50% higher than the reported <b>&quot;Open Rate&quot;</b>. </li>

<p style="text-align:left;">Dear Yalies in New York! </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Many thanks to all of you who joined us recently at some of our fabulous events.  YAAMNY's mission is to connect Yalies in New York and in the past two years we organized or collaborated on 140+ events, which is more than in the preceding 15 years combined!  In fact, we just won <a href="http://www.aya.yale.edu/content/aya-board-governors-excellence-awards">the first AYA Board of Governors Award for Excellence</a> in the category of <a href="http://www.aya.yale.edu/content/aya-board-governors-excellence-awards">Outstanding Major Cities</a> for our leadership in alumni outreach and community impact. </p>
<p style="text-align:left;">We are writing to ask for your help today.  YAAMNY is all-volunteer, does not charge any membership fees and welcomes all Yale alumni to its programs.  We hope you will consider a tax-deductible donation so that we can continue to produce <a href="http://yaamny.net/14915">an innovative array of activities and opportunities</a> for alumni to connect not only with one another, but also with the vast resources of New York City and Yale in a way that makes a real impact in the local community.  Click ...]]></description>

<p><br />
Hope that your reading weeks are going well! We have some phenomenal events in this last week, many of which are TODAY  so please check them out!</p>
<p><br />
Your checklist for holiday-related service:<br />
1.    Habitat for Humanity Gingerbread House Decorating Fundraiser TODAY!<br />
2.    Before you leave, donate your extra clothes to the No Freeze Clothing Drive!<br />
3.    Dont throw away that textbook! Donate it to the Book Exchange!</p>
<p><br />
But if youd rather think about warm weather and spring or summer breaks, we already have some spring/summer opportunities listed below. Peru! Bosnia! New Haven! I can personally vouch for the Spring Break in New Haven program  its the best way to get to know your city!</p>
<p>This is the last D-Holla of the semester! Thank you to those of you who have submitted events, looked through this newsletter, and to those of you who replied every once in a while (looking at you Marina Keegan and Diana Saverin). I hope that it has been helpful! If you ever have a question about service or social justice at Yale or in New ...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Dwight Hall!</p>
<p><br />
Hope you all had restful and productive Thanksgiving breaks, because weve got a lot for you to do this week!</p>
<p><br />
Please see below for all the information about <b>AIDS Week</b>, the <b>Alternative Gift Market</b>, the <b>Bone Marrow Dive</b> and ongoing <b>Clothing Drive</b>.</p>
<p><br />
There are also two very exciting new opportunities from the Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action Project. 1. You can be a part of the first effort of Yale students to house the homeless. 2. You can help provide maximum tax refunds to low-income New Haven families. See below for more information about both opportunities!</p>
<p><br />
Id also like to make a final pitch for the <b>New Haven Tree Lighting Celebration</b> which will be tomorrow, Thursday December 2, from 4:00  8:00PM on the New Haven Green. A jem of the city, this holiday event is always filled with cheer! This is not a service event, but a time to join in celebration with the community we serve. Santa will be there, and so will I!</p>

There will be one more issue of the D-Holla before Winter Break  so if you have any ...]]></description>

The Ulysses S. Grant Foundation is seeking qualified applicants for the position of Co-Director for US Grant Summer Program 2011.  US Grant Summer Program is a six-week academic enrichment program for middle school students from New Haven Public Schools.

We have a one-hour meeting every week where we are planning exciting events in December for World AIDS Day, as well as planning the annual walk in April 2011. AIDS Walk New Haven is a great way to learn about HIV/AIDS in New Haven and to develop skills in non-profit work, event planning, and public health awareness.

            <title>Help Yale Sutdents Provide Shelter to the Homeless</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/14933/Help_Yale_Sutdents_Provide_Shelter_to_the_Homeless</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<div>The Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action Project invites you to join us in our exciting project that you and you Dwight Hall group may be interested in being involved with. New Haven homeless shelters do not have the capacity to admit all of the homeless seeking shelter during the winter. Even with shelters operating above capacity, men are still turned away. To alleviate this problem, sixteen religious congregations united last year and volunteered to provide temporary shelters for twelve homeless men. Each congregation was responsible for feeding and housing the men for their assigned week, with community members willing to connect with their guests and understand the issue of homelessness in our city on a closer level. A number of Yale students also volunteered to be a part of this program and all reported it to be a fantastic experience that they would definitely like to be a part of again. </div>
<div> </div>
<div>This winter, the Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action Project will be responsible for hosting its own week. We will be hosting twelve men in Center Church's parish hall at 311 Temple Street (a 3-4 minute walk from Old Campus) from February 21-27. YHHAP will be organizing all of the logistics, but volunteer shifts during the week will be shared with individuals from the greater Yale College community. This is an excellent opportunity to provide a concrete service to New Haven and to take part in the return of a program that has proven to be extremely successful in its first implementation.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>If you are at all interested, YHHAP would love to tell you more about this project. Please contact: chelsea.andreozzi@yale.edu or amalia.skilton@yale.edu. </div>

<p class="MsoNormal">In response to the withdrawal of New Havens No Freeze Policy and a lack of community closets for homeless individuals, the Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action Project (YHHAP) and the Muslim Students Association (MSA) will be sponsoring the <b>NO FREEZE PROJECT</b>- a clothing drive for New Havens homeless population at the most crucial time of the year.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b>Blue collection drums will be located in all the colleges from November 17--December 17</b> for students to leave shirts/pants/sweaters/hats/coats, to be donated through Columbus House homeless shelter and the Social Integration Program. Please consider giving away any article of clothing you no longer wear but is still in relatively good conditionits an excellent way to reduce waste in addition to providing a critical community service during the winter months.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Members of the Yale community are also encouraged to give monetary donations, through YHHAPs fundraising website, to ensure that homeless individuals receive more essential, less common articles of clothing. Just $8 will support a hat and gloves, $12 a sweatshirt, and $35 a jacket. </p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>The Dwight Hall College Service Representative program is a new effort, begun in Spring 2010, to institutionalize accessible pathways to service experiences in New Haven through the Yale residential college system.  While some colleges have had official or unofficial representatives in the past, this past year we have been excited to institute this new structure to ensure all the necessary support and resources for those taking on the positions.  There are now representatives in nine of the colleges. Starting in 2011, the program will be run by a new position, the College Service Representative Coordinator, or CSRC.</p>

AIDS Walk New Haven is a great way to learn about HIV/AIDS in New Haven and to develop skills in non-profit work, event planning, and public health awareness. If you are interested, please contact <a href="mailto:hilary.rogers@yale.edu" style="color:rgb(6,88,181);">hilary.rogers@yale.edu</a>.</span></p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><font size="2" style="font-family:arial, helvetica, sans-serif;">The Hill Neighborhood Mentoring Program is currently looking for students who are interested in mentoring/tutoring.  The program matches mentors with elementary and middle school aged kids who are primarily from the Hill Neighborhood behind the medical school. Mentoring involves a one-hour per week time commitment, although the timing and scheduling is up to you.  This is a relatively low time-commitment group, which is great for graduate students!  Mentors need to have a car to pick up their mentee at the arranged time.  We also have several fun events throughout the year as a group.  Questions?  Want to volunteer?  E-mail: <a href="mailto:hill.mentors@gmail.com">hill.mentors@gmail.com</a> or <a href="mailto:barbara.schmidt@yale.edu">barbara.schmidt@yale.edu</a> (president).<b><br /></b></font></p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Dwight Hall!</p>
<p>You may have already seen this information, but I wanted to make sure you all were aware of our upcoming elections!</p>
<p>Cabinet will vote to elect a new ExComm on Monday, November 9 at 7 pm, to serve for the 2011 calendar year. Any sophomore or junior who has been an active member of a Dwight Hall group for at least one semester may run for a position.</p>
<p>We hope you will consider joining this team! The &quot;Old&quot; ExComm will be having an information session about our roles in running Dwight Hall on <b>Wednesday, October 27th <span style="color:rgb(255,0,0);">TODAY</span> at 9:00pm</b>. We encourage all students interested in applying to attend this session. We will discuss what it's like to run a non-profit (Dwight Hall is a student-run institution), as well as what each position entails.<br /><br />
From there, applicants have a week to meet with current ExCommers holding their positions of interest (mandatory, but we are very flexible in our meeting availability), fill out their applications, and submit them to jill.hagey@yale.edu and thomas.meyer@yale.edu by 11:59 PM on Thursday, November 4th.<br /><br />

            <title>DMF - India: Community-level health interventions in Andhra Pradesh, India</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/14579/DMF_India_Community_level_health_interventions_in_Andhra_Pradesh_India</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>DMF - India (Developmental Medical Foundation) consists of a handful     of Indian physicians who, despite little funding and organizational     structure, are drawing on their professional networks to carry out     low-cost, small-scale interventions in Andhra Pradesh, India.<br /><br />
Yale students could fill a crucial void for DMF - a nascent NGO     where vital organizational support functions - strategy, research,     M&amp;E, publicity, development, etc. - are lacking. Meanwhile,     students would get valuable exposure to the day-to-day operations of     a global health NGO.<br /><br />
If you're interested in getting involved in our DMF campus chapter,     read below and see <a href="http://dmfindia.org/">dmfindia.org</a>.  Contact brian.wayda@yale.edu for more information. <br /><br /><b>What is DMF?</b><br /><br />
Rather than focus on a specific disease area or package of     interventions, the aim is to develop projects that<br />
·    Fill a specific unmet need<br />
·    Develop innovative, low-cost models of service delivery<br /><br />
This model has been piloted in the form of two projects thus far: 1)     A diabetes self-management education program (SuGhar) 2) an urban     immunization project (TIKA).<br /><br /><b>How can I get involved?</b><br /><br />
Here are a few examples of how our chapter might get involved:<br /><br />
    * Refine DMF mission statement and promotional literature<br />
    * Generate and discuss ideas for new initiatives and research     best practices<br />
    * Develop M&amp;E plans for DMF projects, analyze data collected     by program staff<br />
    * Travel to Andhra Pradesh in the summer to manage initial phase     of new projects.<br />
    * Coordinate fundraising activities and grant proposals<br />
    * Recruit professional-level volunteers (i.e.     <a href="http://volunteermatch.com/">volunteermatch.com</a>, <a href="http://probonopartnership.org/">probonopartnership.org</a>)<br />
    * Manage incorporation of 501c3 status</p>]]></description>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/14669/ReachOut_Applications_Due_NOV_5</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Applications for spring semester's Reach Out service trips are due November 5th.  They can be found at http://www.yale.edu/reachout/ </p>
<p>A bit about Reach Out:</p>
<p>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(0,0,0);font-family:Calibri, Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;line-height:normal;font-size:12px;font-weight:bold;">Reach Out is an undergraduate organization at whose mission is to foster a sense of global responsibility and increase awareness of the struggles faced by citizens of developing countries around the world. Reach Out fulfills this mission by organizing international service trips, follow-up projects and events related to international development. <br /><br />
Reach Out is based on the belief that education about the challenges faced by the developing world, along with direct participation in service projects abroad can empower Yale students to work toward international political, economic, and environmental justice in the future. We hope to build a community of students committed to playing an active role in international sustainable development efforts. Whenever possible, we attempt to involve Yale students in hands-on work in the countries we visit, such as building a house, collaborating in research, restoring old books, or working on an organic farm. We believe one of the best ways to increase understanding across cultures is through personal ties. We thus strive to create personal ties between Yale students and people from other countries through our programs.</span></p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>For an application, email: yang.tang@yale.edu</p>
<p>Dear Dwight Hall Cabinet Members and Group Treasurers:<br /><br />
To keep up with changes in the Dwight Hall Cabinet in recent years, the Financial Coordinator of the Student Executive Committee has adjusted the funding process in order to maximize the impact of our limited resources. Specifically, instead of receiving a check for the amount of funding allocated, groups will now be pre-approved for funding and then reimbursed upon submission of receipts to Dwight Hall. Under this system, groups will submit funding applications and first receive from the Financial Coordinator the amount of funding to be awarded, but only receive a check for the money up to the pre-approved amount based on the sum of the receipts submitted. If this will be difficult for you or your group, please contact the Financial Coordinator.<br /><br />
The $500 maximum on group allocations per semester has also been removed as our member groups differ dramatically in size and activity and therefore may require different levels of financial support. Instead, member groups may now submit an application for each event or project they pursue, though they may still also apply for general operating money. Multiple applications may be submitted by the same group, but each event or project must be submitted as a separate application. The objective of this change is not to create more work for groups, but rather to increase the accountability of the allocation process and to provide more support to our groups activities.<br /><br />
Please keep in mind that this is the first time we are implementing these changes, so your patience and feedback are much appreciated. If you have any comments regarding the new application or the allocation process, please do not hesitate to contact me at yang....</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi Dwight Hall!</p>
<p><br />
The <span style="font-size:large;"><b>YHHAP Shelter Now Campaig</b></span><span style="font-size:large;"><b>n</b></span> is kicking-off in 3 days at the <b>Sleepout on Saturday</b> and will continue with a series of events including the <b>YHHAP FAST </b>on Thursday, October 21st, <b>Family Weekend Professor Lunches</b> and more!</p>
<p><br /><u>Shelter Now</u> is a fundraising campaign of the Yale Hunger and Homelessness Action Project, supporting winter shelters in New Haven. The campaign began in October 2008, when the Cedar St. Overflow Shelter was almost entirely cut from the City budget. Its closure would have forced up to 125 men into freezing temperatures on the streets of our city. Over the next two months, Shelter Now worked with advocates and non-profits throughout the New Haven area, and successfully kept the shelter open. Because the budget crisis continues in New Haven, the Shelter Now campaign continues as well. This year, YHHAP hopes to raise $25,000 to alleviate severe cuts to women's and children's shelters: Life Haven and New Haven Home Recovery.</p>

Please consider showing your support at one of YHHAPs upcoming events. See below for more information!</p>

<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://www.uniteforsight.org/volunteer-abroad">http://www.uniteforsight.org/volunteer-abroad</a></p>
<p>Unite  For Sight's Global Impact Corps is an immersive global health  experience for students and for professionals.  All volunteers  participating in Unite For Sight's international programs are Global  Impact Fellows. </p>
<p><strong>What do students, public health professionals, educators, and others do?</strong>   Global Impact Fellows support and learn from the partner clinics'  talented medical professionals who are social entrepreneurs addressing  complex global health issues. Through hands-on, structured training,  Global Impact Fellows gain a comprehensive understanding about best  practices in global health and social entrepreneurship.  Global Impact  Fellows gain skills and are nurtured to become new leaders in global  health, and they receive a Certificate in Global Health &amp; Program  Delivery.  </p>
<p>Global Impact Fellows participate daily with local  doctors to eliminate patient barriers to care and to facilitate  comprehensive year-round eye care for patients living in extreme  poverty.  They assist with patient education, visual acuity screening,  patient intake, distributing the glasses and medication prescribed by  the local eye doctors, and other important support tasks.  They also  have the opportunity to observe the surgeries provided by the local  doctors. Additionally, Global Impact Fellows may participate in the  Global Impact Lab, an optional program for those interested in pursuing  global health research. For example, current Global Impact Fellows are  pursuing research studies about medication management, the use of visual  resources for patient education, traditional medicine practices, and  patient barriers to care.</p>
<p><strong>What do Global Impact Fellows say?</strong>  &quot;Unite For Sights voluntary program is not one that glosses over the  veracity and urgency of global health and gives volunteers a false idea  of how working in developing countries is like.

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Unite For Sight® is a 501(c)(3) non-profit global health delivery organization that empowers communities worldwide to improve eye health and eliminate preventable blindness. Since its inception at Yale 10 years ago, Unite For Sight has served 1,000,000 patients, sponsored over 35,000 sight-restoring surgeries, and trained 7,100 fellows worldwide. Unite For Sight's chapter at Yale looks forward to the opportunity to work with you.  Unite For Sight's chapter at Yale is one of more than 50 university chapters of Unite For Sight. Unite For Sight's chapter implements public health programs to eliminate preventable blindness locally and globally.  We train school teachers and community center staff to connect their students and clients with free health coverage programs so that they can receive a complete eye exam by an eye doctor.  Additionally, we fundraise to provide eye care to patients living in extreme poverty in Ghana, Honduras, and India.</p>
<p>This year, Unite For Sight's Yale Chapter will embark on multiple new, exciting projects. We will hold community outreach programs in order to increase awareness and promote eye health and the elimination of preventable eye disease among managers and staff at free clinics in the New Haven area. We will work with New Haven local restaurants and businesses on multiple fundraising projects. For pre-medical students, our Chapter has also established a physician shadowing program for undergraduate students to learn medicine firsthand in physicians' clinics. Lastly, we currently have several executive positions available.  To join our Chapter, please contact Tony Su at  tony.su@yale.edu</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p></p><p class="MsoNormal">New Haven Hypertension Initiative (NHHI) is a Yale undergraduate student organization committed to providing hypertension screening services and to linking hypertension patients with local health care for the low-income and homeless populations in New Haven. Chronic hypertension is a significant risk factor for many life-threatening diseases; even moderate hypertension may reduce life expectancies. New Haven has a large homeless population without regular access to health care. Furthermore, local community soup kitchens and homeless shelters lack regular blood pressure screening services. Established 4 years ago, NHHI remains the only service team that offers regular hypertension monitoring in New Haven soup kitchens. More problematically, the homeless population faces severe perceptual and educational barriers to care, as many make minimum efforts to seek or do not know where and how to seek follow-up cares after failed screenings. Consequently, many with chronic hypertension remain untreated.</p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">With the departure of most members due to graduation, NHHI is looking for dedicated students to continue our weekly 1-hour blood pressure screening services. Interested students should contact Tony Su ( <a href="mailto:tony.su@yale.edu">tony.su@yale.edu</a>)</p>

<p><font size="+0" face="avantgarde bk bt"><i>This camp was started in 1950 by the Humes Family.  It was the first multi-racial and religious camp in New York State.  It has always fostered and encouraged a spirit of community for all.  Campers come from around the world.  There is a strong scholarship fund each year as well to ensure economic diversity at the camp.</i></font></p>
<p><font size="+0" face="avantgarde bk bt"><i></i></font></p>
<p><font size="+0" face="avantgarde bk bt"><i></i></font>Campers live in rustic lodges with living rooms and fireplaces overlooking a majestic Adirondack lake. The Humes family who have directed the camp since 1946 feel that camping is at its best when it strives for excellence and welcomes children from various religions, races and nationalities.
</p><p>The warm, supportive and relaxed environment provides a meaningful and exciting experience that each camper will remember and cherish for years to come.</p>

<p>Secondly, take a look at the Responsible Endowment Project's presentation and speakers on the ethical oversight of the Yale Endowment, particularly its relationship with the Advisory Committee on Investor Relations.&nbsp; REP has been working with the ACIR and the University over the past year to see how ethical investment standards can be adopted in the investment.&nbsp; The Report Card on Yale Sustainability got A's or B's in nearly every category for years in nearly every category, except for its investment which got an F. </p>

This certification normally costs between $55 - $65, but during this one-time event, the class will be available for only $12.50 a person. <b>The class will be offered on April 28th</b> (the day after Spring Fling) in the Dwight Hall common room and will last approximately 3 hours. It will be offered at 10am and 2pm, so you can choose your time as long as there's availability. </span></p>

To participate, you must register and pay the $12.50 before the class date. Since space is limited, only the first 50 students to register will be guaranteed spots in the class. To register, bring either check or cash to <b>WLH 014 between 9-11 pm on Monday April 19 or Tuesday April 20. </b>We will stop taking registrations once all 50 spots have been filled.

With over 1.8 million non-profit organizations, knowing how to maximize impact with your donation is nearly impossible. <span style="color:#000000;">Charity Metrics seeks to address this issue by moving beyond administrative expense ratios as the primary measuring stick of performance. Donors need operational data such as cost per pound for local food banks or cost per operation for cleft pallet organizations to evaluate effectiveness. </span></font></font></p>

(IM) is a non-profit performance collaborative founded in 2002 and dedicated to building a community of artists through the creation of works of art utilizing live performance and multimedia. We seek to challenge formal distinctions between performance, dance, film, sculpture and architecture in order to create new works of experiential art that engage and provoke creators and audience alike.</span></span></p>

<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica, Arial;font-size:14px;color:rgb(221,221,221);"></span>IM is comprised of artists with diverse ethnic, economic and geographic backgrounds, each working in disparate artistic disciplines (theater, dance, film, fine art). Since our inception, we have endeavored to create dynamic, highly collaborative performance pieces that draw from our diverse backgrounds. Performances vary in length and artistic discipline and are usually non-narrative and always interdisciplinary.

            <description><![CDATA[<p> Jaradoa Theater, co-founded by Anika Larsen, YC'95, is seeking board members to help take the company to the next level.  This innovative, up and coming, 3-year-old organization is dedicated to promoting mercy, beauty and truth through performance and service.  Jaradoa is a membership company of successful Broadway and Off-Broadway theater artists who are committed not only to producing theater that uplifts and inspires, but to using theater to serve the community.  Jaradoa does outreach in public schools, nursing homes, community centers, shelters, and alternative-to-incarceration programs.</p>
<p>Potential board members need not be in the entertainment industry (in fact, board members with other areas of expertise, such as law, finance, accounting, fundraising, PR, etc, would be quite helpful!), only have a love for theater and a heart to serve!  Please check out Jaradoa's website (www.jaradoatheater.org) to learn more, or email Anika Larsen (shafrika@earthink.net) with questions!</p>

The end goal of our mission is to provide international medical relief while reducing solid medical waste from US hospitals. In the United States, medical supplies and equipments prepared but not used during a medical procedure are discarded because they are considered &quot;un-sterile&quot; even if there has been no contact at all with the patient. However, in the developing world, these supplies are desperately needed. First started in Yale-New Haven Hospital in 1991 by Dr. William H. Rosenblatt of Yale School of Medicine, REMEDY has expanded to hundreds of hospitals across the country. This year alone, REMEDY at Yale-New Haven Hospital recovered and donated tons of equipments for Haiti earthquake relief. REMEDY has enjoyed dedicated volunteers from Yale College. Now we are looking to recruit more responsible Yalies who are interested in contributing to our mission and volunteer with REMEDY in summer and/or academic year.

 Please consider attending the LatPro job fair taking place in NYC on Thursday, April 15, 2010.  YALE will be there recruiting LATINO professionals.  
 
 

 

Yale is a great place to work, offers great benefits, and is situated in a wonderful community. In a time of economic instability, Yale has weathered far better than many other top-notch institutions. There are a number of positions available, in everything from Finance to Research. Please attend the fair, meet the recruiters, and make a special stop at the Yale booth.

            <description><![CDATA[<p>We have many events planned for the early spring, including a discussion on the future of social entrepreneurship, two benefits, social mixers, a Broadway show outing, and more! YAAMNY is pleased to support the Yale Entrepreneurial Institute's panel discussion and reception on social entrepreneurship on March 31.  This week, we are co-sponsoring a banquet fundraiser in honor of the Lunar New Year and, on April 14, a concert in memory of Annie Le. </p>
<p>Like fine food? Join us for an international extravaganza at the Yale Club on March 23.  This special event, open to all Yalies, will feature a showcase of foods from some of New Haven's finest restaurants and a presentation by AYA Executive Director Mark Dollhopf '77 on AYA's recent global initiatives.</p>
<p>It's also not too early to start thinking about the Yale Day of Service. This world-wide event brings Yalies together every May for community service projects in their communities.  Like to do art with kids? To garden? To help with job interview and career planning? These are just a few possibilities.  Last year, over 500 Yale alumni, family and friends volunteered at some 20 locations in and around NYC.   ...]]></description>

~~Come to MEChA 101~~
Monday, Sept 21st 8pm @ La Casa (301 Crown St)



Join the MEChista for the first (official) MEChA Meeting. If you've ever wanted<br />
to check out M.E.Ch.A (Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan), but have yet<br />
to attend a MEChA meeting, this is the perfect time to come out. As MEChA's<br />
first meeting of the year, MEChA 101 serves as an introductory note to the<br />
group. Come learn about what MEChA de Yale Stands for and what we do on campus<br />
and within the New Haven area. If you like what you see, then we'd love to have<br />
to you back next week (and any week after that)! Also, I should mention, free<br />

 </p>
<p>NEW YORK (AP/ 1010 WINS) -- Budget cuts have a major animal care organization begging for donations.</p>
<p>New York City Animal Care and Control says it needs money to buy pet food. It also is accepting donated blankets, towels, rubber toys and kitty litter.</p>
<p>The not-for-profit organization runs shelters under a contract with the city Health Department. It has to cut $300,000 from its budget by June and another $400,000 in the next fiscal year.</p>
<p>Good Samaritans are asked to call 718-788-4000 or go to the Web site.</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Arial;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:12px;">Sudan Sham 2010 is a coordinated effort of regular citizens across all 50 states and DC who stand with the people of Sudanthe marginalized, the disenfranchised, and the brutally oppressedin demanding free and fair elections. In a climate of violent political intimidation and with millions disenfranchised in camps, there cannot be credible elections in Sudan. US support gives the government of Sudanese President Omar al-Bashir, indicted on war crimes and crimes against humanity, legitimacy it does not deserve. It is a waste of American taxpayer money, and non-credible elections will fuel violence and divisions in a country that is already on the brink.</span></span></p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Interested in city politics? Want to get more involved? Join New Haven Action and Ward 1 Alderman Mike Jones for the launch of New Havens first <b>Legislative Aide </b>program! </font> </p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">As a legislative aide, students will be paired with a New Haven alder or legislative committee to assist them in their political responsibilities, conduct policy research, and coordinated community service activities. Working closely with city officials, legislative aides will gain access to community and ward committee meetings, getting a comprehensive inside look into the inner workings of City Hall. This is not an administrative post designed to have aides to sort mail and answer telephones. Instead, legislative aides will be entrusted with major legislative projects, having the opportunity to enact substantive change in their wards. </font> <br />
 </p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Legislative aides will be expected to work five to ten hours per week during the academic year, and will collect a $200 stipend upon the satisfactory completion of their responsibilities each semester. </font> <br />
 </p>
<p><font size="3" face="Times New Roman">Interested in learning more? Join us for an information session at Dwight Hall Common Room on Wednesday, February 17 at 8pm. Please contact <a href="mailto:charles.zhu@yale.edu">charles.zhu@yale.edu</a> for more info.</font></p>]]></description>

We need your help in making the New York City Science and Engineering Fair memorable for some of the brightest high school investigators in the five boroughs. Each year, we receive hundreds of applications from public and private high school students throughout the five boroughs. From this submission pool, 550 students will display and demonstrate their science and technology projects in a preliminary round of competition, and about 150 at the final round. Approximately 20 students are selected to represent New York City at the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in May.<br />
We need more than 300 volunteer judges (scientists, engineers, teachers, and other professionals) to evaluate the presentation of the exhibits and the scientific or engineering processes at NYCSEF Your time commitment would only be a few ...</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:10pt;">At just 26 years old, <b><span style="color:#ff0000;">Seun Adeb</span><span style="color:#ff0000;">iyi</span> </b>is one of the most driven individuals you will ever meet. Seun has achieved nearly every life goal he has set for himself. He has a couple big ones left and sadly not a lot of time. A 2009 graduate of Yale Law who was born in Nigeria and raised in Alabama, Seun was diagnosed with both leukemia and lymphoma while training for the 2014 Olympic Winter Games just days after his graduation. Now his <b>goal is to register 10,000 people</b> <b>as bone marrow donors </b>with <span style="color:#ff0000;"><span><a href="http://www.dkmsamericas.org"><span style="color:#ff0000;"><b>DKMS</b></span></a></span></span>, the largest bone marrow donor center in the world. His mission is to not only save his own life, but to save thousands of others, like himself <b>in need of a life-saving transplant</b>.</span></p>
<p> </p>
<p><b><u><span style="font-size:10pt;">Statistics</span></u></b><span style="font-size:10pt;">: </span><span style="font-size:10pt;">The likelihood of finding a match is much higher within a person's own ethnic group. However, due to a <b>significant under-representation of minorities in the National Bone Marrow Registry</b>, Seun is facing grim odds. Only about 515,000 of the potential donors about 8% of the registry are African-Americans. As a result, 83% African-American patients do not receive the life saving transplants they need. Overall, only 3 out of 10 patients will receive the transplant that can save their life.*</span></p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear fellow alumni:</p>
<p>Happy autumn!</p>
<p>As YAAMNY continues to provide a variety of events -- from educational programs to career networking opportunities to public service/volunteer activities to artistic/cultural and social events -- we welcome your ideas and suggestions. For example, in response to alumni expressing interest in more sporting events, we will add more of these in coming months.</p>
<p>One new event we're planning is an NYC Marathon Watching Party on November 1st to support Yalies who will be running in the race. If you or an alumnus/a you know (whether based in NYC or coming from elsewhere) will be running in the race this year, please email me (<a href="mailto:my@yaamny.net">my@yaamny.net</a>) with your/his/her name and contact information so that we can plan an event to support you. Alternatively, if you won't be running in the race but have a place to host the party (preferably located near the course path), let me know. It'd be fun to cheer for fellow alumni as they run through the race course!</p>
<p>On the topic of marathons, the group of Yale alumni who went to Iceland in August to run in the marathon, half marathon and 10K races had ...]]></description>

Start a Yale Chapter for &quot;Give an Education by Andino International&quot; dedicated to overcoming barriers preventing children in the Andean region from getting a proper education. 100% of fundraised money goes directly to school development projects.    This non-profit was started by a friend of mine and I believe Yalies can do a great job raising awareness and funds for this worthwhile cause. The application process is very simple. Just fill out the online application here: http://www.andinointernational.org/chapters.php.htm. Check out the rest of the website for additional information. Email me at yoona.t.kim@gmail.com.  Thanks for your consideration, Yoona Kim (Yale '08)</p>]]></description>

<p><b>Unite For Sight is the world's leader in socially responsible, effective volunteering abroad.</b> Unite For Sight's Global Impact Corps is an <b>immersive global health experience</b> for students and for professionals.  <strong><span style="font-weight:normal;">All volunteers participating in Unite For Sight's international programs are Global Impact Fellows.</span>  </strong></p>
<p><strong>What do students do?</strong> <strong><span style="font-weight:normal;">They</span></strong> participate daily with local ophthalmic nurses, local optometrists, and local ophthalmologists to eliminate patient barriers to care and to facilitate comprehensive year-round eye care for patients living in extreme poverty.  They assist with patient education, visual acuity screening, patient intake, distributing the glasses and medication prescribed by the local eye doctors, data compilation and analysis, and other necessary support tasks. Through hands-on, structured training, volunteers gain a comprehensive understanding about best practices in community eye health, global health, and international development.  Global Impact Fellows gain skills and are nurtured to become new leaders in global health, and they receive a Certificate in Global Health &amp; Program Delivery.  Many students also receive academic credit through their universities for their participation with Unite For Sight.  Additionally, Global Impact Fellows may participate in the Global Impact Lab, an optional program for students interested in pursuing global health research. </p>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/13367/New_Year_s_Greetings_from_YAAMNY</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Happy new year! We hope you had a wonderful holiday season and that your 2010 is off to a great start.</p>
<p>As the YAAMNY Board started planning for this year, we reviewed the events of 2009 and realized how much we accomplished. Did you know that last year YAAMNY sponsored/organized (either solely or in partnership with other organizations) more than 70 events, including 17 activities on Yale Day of Service? In comparison to previous years, <b>YAAMNY organized more events in 2009 than in the past 10 years combined.</b></p>
<p>More important than the number of events is the *variety* -- educational speakers &amp; panel discussions, volunteer opportunities, career networking events, family-friendly activities, art gallery tours, informal happy hours, and so on -- all in an effort to address the diverse interests of our broad constituent base.</p>
<p>Many thanks to the dedicated YAAMNY board and committee members who have contributed a tremendous amount of time, talent, and energy to provide opportunities for alumni to gather. YAAMNY has also made a concerted effort to improve alumni outreach, through focus group sessions, more frequent newsletters, and interactive online outlets such as the YAAMNY Facebook group -- see <a mce_href="http://www.facebook.com/group....]]></description>

Despite its open borders and markets, Vietnam still remains plagued  by several issues in public health, human rights, and social development.   Despite such issues, the Vietnamese people are optimistic in their approach  to life and are determined to enhance their lives and country. </font></p>

<p align="center" style="text-align:center;"><i>Unite For Sight has been featured weekly on CNN International and in The New York Times</i></p>
<p><b>Unite For Sight is the world's leader in socially responsible, effective volunteering abroad.</b> Unite For Sight's Global Impact Corps is an <b>immersive global health experience</b> for students and for professionals.  <strong><span style="font-weight:normal;">All volunteers participating in Unite For Sight's international programs are Global Impact Fellows.</span>  </strong></p>
<p><strong>What do students do as Global Impact Fellows?</strong> <strong><span style="font-weight:normal;">They</span></strong> participate daily with local ophthalmic nurses, local optometrists, and local ophthalmologists to eliminate patient barriers to care and to facilitate comprehensive year-round eye care for patients living in extreme poverty.  They assist with patient education, visual acuity screening, patient intake, distributing the glasses and medication prescribed by the local eye doctors, data compilation and analysis, and other necessary support tasks. Through hands-on, structured training, volunteers gain a comprehensive understanding about best practices in community eye health, global health, and international development.  Global Impact Fellows gain skills and are nurtured to become new leaders in global health, and they receive a Certificate in Global Health &amp; Program Delivery.  Additionally, Global Impact Fellows may participate in the Global Impact Lab, an optional program for volunteers interested in pursuing global health research.</p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p class="MsoNormal"><b>The New Haven Science Fair Program needs you!</b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><b> </b></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The New Haven Science Fair Program is dedicated to improving the quality of education, and particularly science education in the New Haven Public Schools for grades pre-K through 12.  It began in 1995 with seven test schools but has grown to include more than 7,000 New Haven students in 33 schools.  In 2009 the Science Fair Program utilized more than 160 volunteers to mentor students and judge projects.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">How can you help?  Mentors work with teachers and students to guide them in exploring science questions and designing experiments to test their hypotheses.  Last year approximately 40 of the 65 Science Fair mentors were from Yale and we are hoping to provide the same level of commitment this year! </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Mentors are matched based on location, preferred age group, availability and area of expertise.  They commit to working with students for about an hour-an-a-half per week (typically in the afternoons) over a period of several months between October and May.  There are also a few volunteer opportunities for those who cannot make a weekly commitment and I encourage you to contact me or Cathy (info below) about them.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">To learn more about the New Haven Science Fair Program and how you can get involved, read the attached information and visit our website at: <a href="http://www.nhsciencefair.org/">www.nhsciencefair.org</a>.  You can register to be a mentor online.  If you have additional questions, contact Cathy Van Dyke, Mentor Coordinator, at 203-432-7630 or <a href="mailto:cvandyke@gnhcc.com">cvandyke@gnhcc.com</a>.</p>

<p><br />
Sign the petition at <a href="http://www.yalehasadrugproblem.com">www.yalehasadrugproblem.com</a><br />
(it only takes 10 seconds)</p>
<p><br />
The WHO estimates that ~10 million people die each year because they do not have access to existing medicines. While this is a huge and complex problem, students can make an impact by asking our university to make a change.</p>
<p>Universities are increasingly important sources of important medicines, for example, over a third of HIV drugs introduced between 2002 and 2006 involve a university patent. American universities heavily dominate the top-twenty list of biotech patenting organizations.<br />
University action has the potential to make an enormous impact on global health by making sure that drugs developed at universities are accessible in developing countries.<br />
There are two great ways to involved:<br />
1) Sign the petition <br />
2) Come to a meeting! email <a href="mailto:madison.rose@yale.edu">madison.rose@yale.edu</a> for details.</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><font class="text"><font size="-1">Come be our IT/Comms Advisor, on a historic ship in a container port in exciting Red Hook, Brooklyn! <br /><br />
The young, innovative, waterfront-themed non-profit PortSide NewYork needs help with the IT challenges created by having offices on a 170 ship on the end of a long pier. PortSide currently relies on laptop broadband card for internet access and seeks a high speed connection to support several workstations and internet phone. We need help creating an internal network, website maintenance and data storage and backup in a physical structure that makes the usual WiFi environment challenging (the ship has steel walls and steel+cement floors). <br /><br />
Primary Needs <br /><br />
	Assessing and improving cellphone access in a steel ship on a pier that is not well covered by cellphone antennae.  <br />
 Assessing the best method for establishing internet access in a location that is not fixed (ships move up and down and back and forth with tides and waves) and is several hundred feet away from the nearest phone line <br />
	Assessing methods for internet access that can move when the ship moves to other piers  <br />
	Recommending and taking steps to address internal networking needs, both for internet and for file sharing.  <br />
	Recommending and taking steps to address internal data management needs, including redundant backup.  <br />
	Recommending and performing software upgrades and addressing spyware/adware/malware problems   <br />
 Provide advice on how to improve website maintenance so that we can have multiple users and have off-site users maintain the site. (Site is currently built and managed with FrontPage). <br />
	Liaising with outside IT vendors and identifying sources of inexpensive/donated equipment  </font></font></p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">One-on-One Conversations is sponsored by the Office of International Students and Scholars at Yale. The program matches international students, scholars and their spouses/partners with volunteers from the New Haven and Yale communities for language and culture exchange. The time commitment is minimal and for the participants of this program the possible benefits include:</span></p>
<ul><li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Sharing your  culture with others</span></li>
    <li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Expanding your understanding of people, the world and cross-cultural communication</span></li>
    <li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Practicing teaching skills</span></li>
    <li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Offering friendship across cultures </span></li>
    <li><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Language exchange: practice a second language with a native speaker</span></li>
</ul><p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">Meetings are scheduled for one hour per week at any mutually agreed upon on or off campus location. Minimum commitment is four weeks, with the aim to continue for at least one semester (12 weeks). The topic and format of the meetings is up to the participants. Most often, participants engage in informal conversation; however guidelines and suggestions for topics if desired are available through the OISS. Meetings are usually conducted in English and no knowledge of a second language is required or even necessary.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Verdana;">To volunteer as an English Conversation Partner, please register online at: http://www.yale.edu/oiss/programs/volunteer/english/index.html. </span></p>

<div>Do you care about the achievement gap?  Are you interested in service learning?</div>
<div><br />
Amistad-Elm City High School (AECHS), an Achievement First High School aimed at closing the achievement gap between poorer inner city students and their suburban counterparts, recently created a service learning program.  The goals of the service learning program are to help students build awareness of their community, develop and create a sense of value in serving their community, and generate students agency to impact their own community in a positive manner.  Currently, the 9th grade curriculum and structure has been planned, but work still is a need to create and refine the program.  AECHS seeks one or two volunteer service-learning program assistants to develop and refine the service learning program.  This is a great opportunity to work in a school, develop planning skills, and learn about service learning and the achievement gap first hand.  Tasks could include:</div>
<div><br />
1.    Refining the 9th grade service learning program<br />
2.    Developing and refining the structure for the after school service club<br />
3.    Planning for the implementation of the 10th grade service learning program next year<br />
4.    Big picture planning of the 11th and 12th grade service program<br />
5.    Assisting with running the club or working at service sites</div>
<div><br />
The program assistants would work directly with Aaron Stelson, the Service Learning Coordinator at AECHS.  There is flexibility within the position to tailor it to meet the needs of interested students.   The ideal service-learning program assistant would have some experience with service or experiential learning, an interest in service learning or the achievement gap, and the ability to commit to at least two hours a week.<br />

            <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:12pt;line-height:115%;font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;"><b>Volunteer at Connecticut Hospice</b><br />
<br />
</span>Yale Undergraduates at Connecticut Hospice (YUCH) is an organization that provides a unique opportunity to volunteer at a palliative care facility in Branford, CT. Volunteers provide a service that is crucial to the Connecticut Hospice organization and uplifting to the patients. In addition, they get real patient care experience that is invaluable and hard to find elsewhere. You will work hands-on with nurses and families to improve the end-of-life experiences for patients. The commitment is 3 hours at a set time each week. Transportation to and from the hospice is provided by a fleet of Dwight Hall cars. <br />
<br />
If interested, please email Brian Fidali at <a href="mailto:brian.fidali@yale.edu">brian.fidali@yale.edu</a> to request an application. These are due by 5 PM on Friday, September 25th in the YUCH mailbox in Dwight Hall. Interviews will be held the morning of Saturday, October 3rd; volunteer training will be held throughout the day on Saturday, October 10th. Please keep these dates open if interested in volunteering. If you have any questions or concerns, please contact Brian Boyle at <a href="mailto:brian.boyle@yale.edu">brian.boyle@yale.edu</a>. </p>]]></description>

We are delighted to have on board both Anne and Pam, who have already been active in organizing activities for alumni this summer. Anne has also taken on an additional role as editor of the YAAMNY.net website.</p>
<p>Speaking of volunteer leaders, we are also looking for an energetic and tech-savvy Yalie to help run the YAAMNY.net website.

            <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica;">Elm City College Prep Middle School needs a   yearbook co-instructor to work with students during the College Prep period.   The co-instructor would focus on developing student skills in layout design   (Sept-Jan) and oversee applying those skills to create the yearbook   (Feb-May). Ideally, the applicant will already have a background in graphic   design or a strong knack for it.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica;">We have the students working on Pagemaker (PC),   a pretty easy program to pick-up. The co-instructor should be comfortable   training students on basic picture adjustment (<a href="http://picnik.com/"><span style="color:rgb(31,78,178);">picnik.com</span></a>), page layout, etc.  The   co-instructor should also be comfortable pushing students to meet deadlines.   This year, we are trying to work on strengthening student skills to push more   heavy-lifting in their direction.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica;">The applicant must be available two days a week   (Mon. and Wed. OR Tues. and Thurs.) from 3-4:15pm. Understandably, additional   paid time would be considered for work outside of this time (cleaning up   student work, preparing lessons, etc.) Compensation is available and discussed   upon skill-level and availability.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica;">Interested parties should email a brief   statement and a resume to <span style="color:rgb(31,78,178);"><u><a href="mailto:minhtran@aya.yale.edu">minhtran@aya.yale.edu</a> .</u></span>   Interviews will take place as soon as applications are received.</span></p>]]></description>

<p>Also, a shout out to all the people who participated in the Freshmen Day of Service, organized by the Yale College Council and other individuals.&nbsp; It wouldn't have been the same without the volunteers.&nbsp; Well I guess that's obvious but seriously, way to go on waking up at 9 on a Saturday morning and braving gloomy New Haven weather.</p>
<p>Finally, the dissappearance of Annie Le is a tragedy and both frightening and worrisome.&nbsp; A vigil will be held this week.</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Dear Dwight Hall Residents,</p>
<p>Haven Free Clinic is student-run organization that provides free health care to patients in New Haven, most of whom are Spanish-speaking.    </p>
<p>We are in search of Spanish-speaking volunteers to help with the clinic during the Fall  9/26/09- 12/19/09. We need volunteers with different degrees of Spanish fluency to interact and/or interpret for our patients. The clinic would serve as an excellent exposure for students interested in medicine and service in underprivileged neighborhoods.    </p>
<p>This Fall Haven Free Clinic will operate every Saturday morning. We provide training for the different volunteer posts and rides to and from the clinic. We are looking for students who can volunteer once or more times during the Fall.</p>
<p>If  interested please contact me (abel.alcazar@yale.edu) or Rachel Jamison (rachel.jamison@yale.edu).    </p>
<p>Thank you so much in advance.    </p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial;font-size:13px;"><span style="border-collapse:collapse;">A friend has just launched a free site that may have solved the rental equation in NYC -- <a href="http://www.nakedapartments.com/" style="color:rgb(42,93,176);">www.nakedapartments.com</a><br /><br />
As a renter, you create an anonymous profile, which includes a free credit score range. <br /><br />
Brokers who want to work with you then send you Offers. An Offer consists of a promised commission rate, listings that match your search and reviews of that broker. <br /><br />
As a renter, you accept the Offers you want and decline the ones you dont. When you accept an Offer, you exchange contact information with that broker and start working with them. <br /><br />
Renters review brokers, so you have sense of who you will be working with if you accept an Offer.<br /><br />
Anyway, I wanted to share the site with the list in case any folks are looking for apartments or will be in the near future.</span><br /></span>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/12847/Class_on_quot_Novels_with_a_Social_Conscience_quot_this_fall</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Bob Lamm, 1969, will be teaching a course on &quot;Novels with a Social Conscience&quot; this fall at NYU's School of Continuing and Professional Studies. We will examine five well-known novels--among them, Chinua Achebe's THINGS FALL APART, Carson McCullers' THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER, and Alice Walker's THE COLOR PURPLE. These works richly illuminate the injustices evident in cultures and communities--including injustices related to gender, race, and class--while telling memorable, moving stories.</p>
<p>Bob has taught at Yale (two college seminars in Ezra Stiles), Queens College, the New School, and the City University of New York Graduate Center. His writings have appeared in the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, Ms. Magazine, the Village Voice, nytheatre.com, and many other periodicals, websites, and anthologies.</p>
<p>&quot;Novels with a Social Conscience&quot; will meet on five Tuesdays, 1:00 to 2:40 P.M., Oct. 6th through Nov. 3rd. For our first class, students should read John Steinbeck's THE PEARL. For more information, go to  www.scps.nyu.edu then hit the links to Continuing Education, to Humanities and Performing Arts, and to Literature. Or contact Bob at  blamm@blamm.cnc.net   </p>]]></description>

From that success, they continued to work together forming the West River Neighborhood Association in 1986, which finally morphed into the West River Neighborhood Services Corporation (501c3) in 2005.

            <title>Judges Needed for New York City Science and Engineering Fair</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/12702/Judges_Needed_for_New_York_City_Science_and_Engineering_Fair</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>The New York City Science and Engineering Fair for NYC High School students is, for the first year, sponsored by the City University of New York under the auspices of the CUNY College Now Program (which I work for).<br />
<br />
The Science Fair is looking for judges in fourteen areas, including social and behavioral sciences. Judges can be practicing scientists, doctoral students or other professionals in their fields in the New York City area (unfortunately the program cannot provide accommodations or funding for people coming from outside the area).<br />
<br />
It's an excellent volunteer opportunity and a chance to meet talented students from throughout New York City and become involved in fostering and promoting science education.<br />
<br />
You can find more information on qualifications for judges as well as the fair in general on the website:<br />
http://collegenow.cuny.edu/sciencefair/<br />
<br />
I can answer some questions as well, or at least direct you to someone who definitely can.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much!<br />

Thanks to those of you who volunteered for the inaugural Yale Day of Service. About 600 alumni (and guests) participated in one of the 17 volunteer activities in New York City.

An extra big thanks to Ceu Martinez and Amanda Taffy, co-chairs of YAAMNY's Public Service and Social Justice Committee, for their leadership pulling together all the pieces. And congratulations to the following winners of the prize drawing:</p>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="border-collapse:collapse;font-family:arial;font-size:13px;line-height:normal;">Your Place Youth Center was started by an association of local churches and youth in the Newhallville neighborhood as a response to the gang violence that had disrupted lives and families as several young teenagers were killed. Volunteers are needed to assist in mentoring New Haven youths who seek to respond peacefully and also creative ways to channel their time and energy --- music, sports, academics -- what programs you want to start and participate in are flexible!

            <description><![CDATA[<p>Camp Carefree is a free summer camp in North Carolina that gives kids with chronic illnesses a chance to have the outdoorsy summer camp experience, including horseback riding, archery, fishing, swimming, etc.  The camp is operated on a not-for-profit basis, employs an all-volunteer staff, and is set on hundreds of acres of donated farmland outside of Greensboro.  There are week-long camp sessions for kids with Spina Bifida, Cancer, Epilepsy and other Neurological disorders, Hemophilia &amp; Turner Syndrome, Siblings of chronically ill children, and children of chronically ill parents.  Applying for this summer may still be possible, depending on your week of interest, and is definitely possible for next summer.  Please contact Adam Green (Adam.Green@Yale.edu) for information and applications.</p>]]></description>

<div style="margin:0in 0in 6pt;line-height:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#262626;">Today almost everyone has a friend or family member affected by cancer. <span style="background:#ffff00;">Mark your calendar</span></span><span style="background-color:#ffff00;"><b><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#262626;">Saturday, July 25th </span></b></span><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#262626;">and start making plans for the CT Challenge 5th anniversary ride.  Become a rider with the Yale Development Office team on that day. Call a friend/family member to help you raise $350, your <i>special student amount </i>toward this goal. If you register before May 1st you will receive a CT Challenge cycling jersey for free. Email </span><a href="mailto:peter.lamothe@yale.edu"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#6699cc;">peter.lamothe@yale.edu</span></a><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#262626;"> or </span><a href="mailto:chip.edmonds@yale.edu"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#6699cc;">chip.edmonds@yale.edu</span></a><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#262626;"> for more information. You could help save a life.   Look what has been accomplished in four short years:</span></div>
<ul type="disc">
    <li style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;color:#000000;line-height:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">1,400 cyclists of all ages and skill levels </span></li>
    <li style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;color:#000000;line-height:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">76,000 miles pedaled 575 volunteers making it all happen </span></li>
    <li style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;color:#000000;line-height:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;">$1.9 million raised by our cyclists and volunteers!</span></li>
</ul>
<div style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;line-height:12pt;"><span style="font-size:11.5pt;color:#262626;">Cyclists and volunteers are the engines driving the Connecticut Challenge forward. The money they raised started Connecticut's only adult survivorship clinic and now funds two more for survivors of childhood cancers. The impact is simple: these clinics have helped thousands of cancer survivors. Without the CT Challenge, the clinics would not exist. Together, we are changing the way cancer survivors are cared for across Connecticut and beyond. <br />

Come Join the Challenge!  Ride with us in 2009.</span></div>]]></description>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/12511/Great_Summer_Opportunity_to_Engage_with_Homelessness_Issues</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>The <b>Wednesday Lunchtime Summer Soup Kitchen</b> is looking to recruit two <b>project co-coordinators</b>. The Wednesday Lunchtime Summer Soup Kitchen was started last summer. During the normal school year, the Saint Thomas More center provides lunch to the homeless and those in need on Wednesdays, but this much-appreciated service closes for the summer. However, the Wednesday Summer Soup Kitchen project team plans to continue to <b>bring back Wednesday summer lunch for the homeless this year. </b><br /><br />
The project consists of two components: a) bag Lunch making on Tuesday afternoons (approx 5.15-6.30) and b) serving these lunches to the homeless on the New Haven Green on Wednesday afternoons (approximately 12.30-1.30). Yale summer session students and other interested individuals will assist with both of these efforts, and those involved last summer found it to be an engaging and exciting experience. <br /><br />
Currently, we are looking for one Yale student to lead the bag lunch making, and another to lead the sandwich distribution. <b>Both of these positions are a great opportunity to engage with others and to lead. </b>You will be working with the project director (Julia Knight, DC'11). The summer soup kitchen project will involve little time commitment on your part, and is very compatible with whatever else you may be doing (job, internship, classes, lab, etc.) <br /><br />
If...<br />
-you think that this project interests you <br />
-you will be in New Haven this summer from about June 1 to August 7 (alternatively, if you are here for just one summer session and are interested, let me know--it may be possible to work something out)<br />
-you are organized and responsible <br /><br /><b>Please contact Julia Knight (julia.knight@yale.edu) for more information on how to apply for a ...</b></p>]]></description>

Spanish School <i>¡Arriba San Pancho!</i> runs two 6-week sessions from June-July and from July-August. During the six weeks students live in a home of a village family. Students will spend 25 hours a week attending individual and group Spanish classes at CAFAMI. Spanish teachers at CAFAMI are themselves community members, and are chosen because of their professional degrees as well as their interest in working in their community. Important themes in the curriculum are social justice, local customs, and the preservation of indigenous heritage. </font></span></span><span><br />
<br />
<font size="3"><font face="Times New Roman"><span>In addition to language classes, the volunteers and families who run CAFAMI are waiting to share their village and customs with you. Included are weekly classes in Nahuatl, the indigenous language of the region, excursions to local farms, markets, archeological sites, and well as hikes up the volcano La Malinche. Important festivals will also be celebrated in highest regard. </span><br />
<br />
<span>The program costs $175 a week (for 6 weeks, or $150 a week for the full 12 weeks). Of your weekly tuition, half will go to pay the Spanish teacher, and the remaining half will go to pay your host family and the group of young people who run CAFAMI. </span><br />

<span>Your support as Spanish language students directly benefits the community San Francisco Tetlanohcan in its resistance to the negative effects of migration.

            <description><![CDATA[<p>I'm an attorney who loves literature.  Looking to form a monthly book group of fiction lovers.  8-11 people, monthly date to be decided and won't move (e.g. the last Tuesday of every month).  First book up will be Joyce Carol Oates, Dear Husband.  After that, each month's &quot;host&quot; will choose the book- the only requirements to be in this group are a love of fiction, a willingness to read whatever your fellow reader may select, and making the commitment to show up every month.  Email me a sentence or two about who you are and why you're interested (aisha.gayle@aya.yale.edu) and I'll send on more details.  Please feel free to pass this message along to anyone you think may be interested!<br /><br />
Cheers,<br />

Day 3: Gaining Momentum - Tasting habits<br /><br />
    The jovial Yale group of volunteers gathered again for the bus ride to the dusty districts of Alianza Real for our second day of our work in the region. Everything was running smoother now in the second day of the program, since we were not belated significantly (except for the bus drivers that seem to be in habit of losing themselves around Monterrey).<br />
    On the construction site, the team was finally having their lumber supply and the playground started taking shape on the ground with Connie, our master architect to constantly cut wood, aided by David and the rest of us, assembling, following her directions, all during familiarizing ourselves with the art of drilling and digging.<br />
    On the doctors tent, things seem to have been busier today, since the medical team was more confident that they could see more people, based on the previous days turnout and so they allocated more timeslots that were filled by the population (mostly women and children) of Allianza Real.<br />
    The dust of the first day having settled, the public health team came on the field with a new modus operandi that meant to prove greatly successful. Consistent with Deboraghs meticulous regime of finding the questions first, and then the answers they went out to look at some houses (and latrines) the previous day, so that to assess the situation, before making suggestions about cleanliness that they didn't have the resources to implement. Meanwhile, Victor helped adapt the Peer Health Educators course to come up with some yummy tips on nutrition that the women around Alianza Real seemed to be particularly interested in. No wonder then why ...</p>]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal">Day 4: Mid-week memoires</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>More activities seem to be happening around the neighborhood that I can catch with my own eyes, and I was told that Jer was leading an incredible cooking class inside a nearby house of the community. Yummy!</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>Robs singing class was gaining momentum too and a couple of more guitars and smiles appeared today among the locals.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>In the teaching tents I had the joy to participate in teaching and see Peter and Ariel doing an incredible job in teaching math and English respectively. Peter was fully geared with his sweet pencil sharpener and his warm way of talking and Ariel was jovial and efficient as a real teacher, which would have her classmates cringe, I am sure.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>At the Painting venture right next door, drawings of hearts and other expressions of love were prepared for the volunteers by the children of Alianza Real which was very touching for all of us. Tannis, Phyllis, Sarah and Bekah were doing a great job in setting up and helping the children make paintings of a different artist every day following a program Tannis and Sarah came up with. I was fortunate to help with translation for the Van Gogh theme of the day.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>The glum grey walls of the nearby basketball court were to finally embellished by the children of Alianza Real, who thanks to our program, had access to paint and spray-paint they lacked before and they did more than the usual graffiti you would expect; the created art and the results can be seen in the pictures here.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">Day 2: First dusty footsteps and a ceremony</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"></p><p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>The Yale alumni encountered the downtrodden areas of Alianza Real, full of makeshift houses made of raw material in an isolated area, so close yet so far away from the commercial center of Monterrey. A beautiful and functional setup was made by the <i>Consejo de Desarrollo Social </i>(Council of Social Development) consisting of several tents each of which would host a different educational or other activity. There was a medical area, a tent of yoga with special mattress, a dance stage, tables for math, English and arts courses and of course, a martial arts tent.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The people of Alianza Real welcomed us with great anticipation that was especially evident during the opening welcome ceremony in honor of our university and our volunteer efforts. Several speeches were offered that aimed to celebrate the partnership and lots of locals were present there to participate in the act of receiving, expressing their gratitude for our act of giving.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">All the groups had to adapt to the challenge of contributing in this community but they succeeded in finding the right way to do so, first by identifying the needs of Alianza Real. I assure you all of them did splendidly so I decided to record in media their work and its outcome but I will offer you some sound-bites and highlights of each day in this blog.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Sexual Education team had a hard time finding teenagers to talk to among our tabletents so the had to outreach in the houses around the community. In Trips words, those teens are too cool for school and the Banana Brigade, as ...</p>]]></description>

<p class="MsoNormal">Day 1: Orientation</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>A colorful and far from homogeneous group of Yale Alumni, their families and friends as well as current students gathered in Monterrey this week to contribute their time and knowledge to make a change in Monterrey.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>Our beautiful service trip started in a beautiful, one could say isolated, place out of the city of Monterrey. We were fortunate enough to enjoy the natural surroundings and the hospitality of the facilities of the <u>Chipinque National Park</u>, a beautiful mountainous area that overlooks the vast city of Monterrey. On Chipinque, there is a very convenient conference center that served as the setting of the service teams teambuilding. Several speeches were offered to set the setting of the trip mission and the expectations of the participants as well as a round of introductions by the participants that meant to be very insightful of the diversity and the humanitarian motives of the whole group.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><u>The speeches</u></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span>            </span>AYAs President, Mark Dollhopf, lead the orientation workshop and began by presenting the present of AYA. The Service Trip in 2008 in Dominican Republic being successful, gave rise to a new trip this year in Monterrey and gave more leeway to AYA and to Mark Dollhopf to envisage a new dimension of AYA and an alternative way of connecting alumni through philanthropy. Overall, according to Mr. Dollhopf AYAs new direction will be to connect alumni according their location, their vocation as well as their interests. Mr. Dollhopf made note of plans to connect the alumni of the 300+ Yale undergraduate organizations which have contributed through the years in the activities of the institution. The reason that the Yale Alumni were ...</p>]]></description>

Call a friend/family member to help you raise $350, your special student amount toward this goal. If you register before May 1st you will receive a CT Challenge cycling jersey for free. Email <a href="mailto:peter.lamothe@yale.edu">peter.lamothe@yale.edu</a> or <a href="mailto:chip.edmonds@yale.edu">chip.edmonds@yale.edu</a> for more information. You could help save a life.   Look what has been accomplished in four short years:</font></p>
<ul><li>1,400 cyclists of all ages and skill levels</li>
    <li>76,000 miles pedaled 575 volunteers making it all happen</li>
    <li>$1.9 million raised by our cyclists and volunteers!</li>
</ul><p style="margin:0in 0in 0pt;" align="left">Cyclists and volunteers are the engines driving the Connecticut Challenge forward. The money they raised started Connecticuts only adult survivorship clinic and now funds two more for survivors of childhood cancers. The impact is simple: these clinics have helped thousands of cancer survivors. Without the CT Challenge, the clinics would not exist. Together, we are changing the way cancer survivors are cared for across Connecticut and beyond. <br /><br />

            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family:Helvetica;">The new Obama administration's exciting focus on community service and social responsibility is inspiring many across the country. In recognition of decades of work in this area, Dwight Hall is faced with the possibility of being showcased by the administration as a national model for student service organizations. In response to this exciting opportunity, we are creating a series of publicity materials including a five-minute video and a shortened one-minute version that would be appropriate to communicate the mission and character of Dwight Hall to a very large number of people nationwide. To complete this project as soon as possible and no later than the end of the semester, we are looking for motivated students, especially those with specific skills in filmmaking, graphic design, and writing.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-family:Helvetica, 'sans-serif';color:#000000;">If you are interested in this opportunity or would like to learn more, please e-mail </span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Helvetica, 'sans-serif';color:#000000;"><a href="mailto:christopher.lewine@yale.edu"><span style="font-size:12pt;color:#1534D7;">christopher.lewine@yale.edu</span></a></span><span style="font-family:Helvetica, 'sans-serif';color:#000000;"> right away. In your e-mail, please include your interest in the project, the specific skills and qualifications you would bring to the project along with relevant prior experience, and your other commitments for the rest of the semester. Thank you!</span><span style="font-size:10pt;font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';color:#000000;"></span></p>]]></description>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/11935/Yale_Latino_Alumni_Reunion_Make_Plans_Now</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span style="font-size:larger;">Dear Fellow Alums, <br /><br />
We hope to see many of you at our first ever Yale Latino Alumni Reunion (YLAA), which will be held April 3 - 5! A team of dozens of Latino alumni have volunteered their time to organize this exciting event, which is the first national event being organized by YLAA. <br /><br />
At the Reunion, we will provide an update on YLAA's organizational development and results from the AYA/YLAA survey that was sent out in the Fall, hold a brainstorming session on future YLAA's future, and announce the nominations and elections process for the first elected Board. We hope to have a new Board installed later this year and encourage you to think about nominating your friends or YOURSELF! For now, we wanted to provide the attached overview of the organization. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact us.<br /><br />
We are certain that tons of energy will be created from the exciting program that the Reunion Committee Co-Chairs, Araceli Campos and Sara Salvide, have been working with their team on. We truly believe that the Reunion will fulfill the message of its theme, <span style="font-style:italic;"><span style="font-weight:bold;">Uniting ...]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>The <span style="color:#000080;">Public Service/Social Justice Committee </span>of the <span style="color:#003366;"><b>Yale Alumni Association of Metropolitan New York </b></span>is honored to partner with the Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ), in its quest to end poverty in Harlem and the United States. </p>
<p>On March 7, 2009, select volunteers will read to toddlers (ages 1-3) and their families and also assist in devising lesson plans at the Baby College of the HCZ (lessons and books to be selected by the HCZ).  Volunteers may choose between 2 shifts (morning shift from 9:15-12:00 and afternoon shift from 12:00-3:00).</p>
<p>Team Leader for this Project is Ms. Rana Emerson.  Please contact Rana at <a href="mailto:ranaemerson@gmail.com">ranaemerson@gmail.com</a>.</p>
<p>Alternatively, feel free to contact Amanda Taffy with any questions at <a href="mailto:amandataffy@hotmail.com">amandataffy@hotmail.com</a>.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Below is an excerpt copied  from wikipedia.com re the HCZ:</p>
<p>&quot;The Harlem Children's Zone (HCZ) is a non-profit organization that targets poverty-stricken children and families living in Harlem, providing free support for the children and families in the form of parenting workshops, a pre-school program, three public charter schools, and child-oriented health programs for thousands of children and families. The HCZ is &quot;aimed at doing nothing less than breaking the cycle of generational poverty for the thousands of children and families it serves.&quot; [2]</p>
<p>The ambitous Harlem Children's Zone Project has expanded the HCZ's comprehensive system of programs to nearly 100 blocks of Central Harlem and aims to keep children on track through college and into the job market. [3]</p>
<p>Quoting from the HCZ Project web page: &quot;The HCZ Project began as a one-block pilot in the 1990s, then following a 10-year business plan, it expanded to 24 blocks and then 60 blocks. The goal is to serve 15,000 children and 7,000 adults by 2011. The budget for the HCZ Project for fiscal year ...</p>]]></description>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/11687/Why_and_how_is_it_I_m_logged_in_insecurely</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>This site has two ways of recognizing members, with email/name insecure authentication and stronger email/password authentication.</p>
<p>Any time you make a new post or click on the &quot;manage my subscriptions&quot; from an email, you are logged into this website insecurely, by using your email and full name only.</p>
<p>This easy and insecure way of logging in is available to let users post easily, without setting a password and also to allow a user to easily manage subscriptions from email newsletters without requiring a complicated password setup process.</p>
<p>Email/name combinations for many people are easy to guess, however, such as John Doe and john.doe@xyzcompany.com.</p>
<p>We therefore  restrict what can be done with this insecure authentication.</p>
<p>To <a href="/11706/How_do_I_login_securely_using_a_password">login securely</a> you will need to relogin using a secret password in addition to your email address.  This password can only be discovered by using the main email address we have on file with your user account.</p>
<p>Instructions login securely and to set or reset your password can be found <a href="/11706/How_do_I_login_securely_using_a_password">here.</a></p>
<p> </p>
<ol>
    <li>logout by pressing logout in the top left of the screen next to your name (or press login securely once this is implemented)</li>
    <li>Press login in the top left once the page reloads</li>
    <li>in the dialog that pops up enter you user name and password*</li>
    <li>you will now be logged in securely and can change view and change all your personal profile information including <a href="/11705">change your email address</a> for newsletters and for your login ID </li>
</ol>
<p> </p>
<p> *If you have not set a password, or need a new password, instructions to set or reset your password in are as follows:</p>
<ol>
    <li>Press login in the top left of the page</li>
    <li>in the dialog that pops up press &quot;need password?&quot;</li></ol>]]></description>

<div> </div>
<div>Do you sit glazed at the computer when you have to write a project description, a proposal or an announcement about your business or upcoming show?  Would you rather eat worms than confront the manuscript dying of neglect in your computer or desk?  Do you freeze with self-doubt and anxiety when you have to write <u>anything</u>?</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Don't despair.  Help cometh.  YOU WRITE IT, I FIX IT!</div>
<div> </div>
<div>As some of you know, I'm a playwright and novelist but I also work as a manuscript consultant and free-lance editor.  I have experience and expertise in the editing, critiquing, proofreading, and 'renovation' of books and books-in-progress, proposals of any kind, web site text, advertisements and promotional (or self-promotional) materials, speeches -- even copy for restaurant menus!  When words are your enemy, I am your best friend.</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Two recent clients have written even more immodest praise.  (And I can offer additional testimonials, if desired.)</div>
<div> </div>
<div><font color="#ff0000"><strong>Susan Yankowitz is a terrific and magical writer.  She turned my dross into beautiful, meaningful prose. Also she is to be highly praised for her invaluable contributions to my two plays. <br /><br />
With endless gratitude, thanks and love,<br />

            <title>Become a Public School Intern</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/10987/Become_a_Public_School_Intern</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Interested in education?  Would you like to become a more involved volunteer in New Haven Public Schools?  We are currently accepting applications for the Dwight Hall Public School Intern Program.<br /><br />
The role of the Dwight Hall Public School Intern (PSI) is to serve as a liaison between a New Haven public school and the Yale community by strengthening current volunteer efforts in the schools and by finding new ways to match resources at Yale with the needs of the school.  Interns might provide the school with individual tutors, professional development for teachers, or special one-time programs to enrich current lessons.  Interns work closely with contacts at the school to discuss the role of Yale volunteers and ways that they may extend and enrich opportunities for New Haven students.<br />
 </p>
<div>Previous interns have found volunteers fluent in Urdu for elementary school students from Pakistan, arranged performances by an African dance troupe for a middle school African history class, advised the production of a school play, and planned a college application information panel and campus field trip for high school juniors<br />
The internship is a two year commitment, and interns are paid hourly (if work study eligible) or given a stipend at the end of the semester (if non-workstudy).  The requirements of the job include at least four hours of work in the school a week, and mandatory monthly meetings.</div>
<p><br />
We currently have 16 interns participating in local elementary, middle, and high schools and are looking to hire more for the upcoming year.  Please email <a href="mailto:sor.piawah@yale.edu">sor.piawah@yale.edu</a> for an application or if you have any questions.</p>]]></description>

            <title>NYC: Judges Needed for 2009 New York City Science and Engineering Fair</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/10725/NYC_Judges_Needed_for_2009_New_York_City_Science_and_Engineering_Fair</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<pre>
Hello Everyone,

The program I work for, College Now at City University of New
York, is looking for people to volunteer as judges for the New York City
Science and Engineering Fair. 
 
The New York City Science and Engineering Fair (NYCSEF), sponsored by
the New York City Department of Education (NYCDOE) and The City
University of New York, is the area's largest science, math,
engineering, and technology research competition for high school
students. NYCSEF provides a venue for the city's top young scientists
and engineers to present their projects to a panel of judges and
compete for a variety of prizes.
 
The Science Fair is looking for judges in fourteen areas, including
social and behavioral sciences. Judges can be practicing scientists,
doctoral students or other professionals in their fields in the New
York City area (unfortunately the program cannot provide accommodations
or funding for people coming from outside the area). I emphasize that
you do NOT have to be an academic to judge, if you are a professional
in a relevant field you can participate as well. We especially need
people in the social and behavioral sciences as that is the largest
category represented. 
 
Judging for this year's Preliminary Round will be held on Sunday, March
1, 2009 at the City College of New York (Manhattan). The top 25% of
student researchers from each subject category will be invited to
participate in the Finals Round in early April (date and location TBD).
Twenty students will ultimately be selected to represent NYC in May at
the Intel International Science and Engineering Fair in Reno, NV. 
 
It's an excellent volunteer opportunity and a chance to meet talented
students from throughout New York City and become involved in fostering
and promoting science education. I was a social and behavioral sciences
judge last ...</pre>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size:13px;"><br />
I've been working on this start up website called Mapcidy.com. It's basically a user-generated site about NY culture, similar to Zagats or Citysearch, except the reviews are coming from your most trusted source - your friends. The reviews are then mapped on 3-d maps, so you have your own personal maps which you can then share.<br /><br />
We are having our launch this winter at Milk Gallery, sponsored by HBO, and we hope to make it a pretty cool event. I am reaching out to you because leading up to the event we are trying to build a base of in-house <span class="nfakPe">writers</span> who are keyed into one of the categories we focus on to feature on the site. Those categories are art, food, music, news, entertainment, design, technology, and nightlife. If you think you have a unique perspective to offer in any of these categories please get in touch.<br /><br />
We are starting to raise capital and would pay you if you came on as a writer - the amount you make would correspond to how much you write and the traffic you are able to bring to the site.  Overall you would have the potential to make several hundred dollars a month, just by writing about stuff that you're interested in around the city.  So if you feel like coming on as a writer let me know and I'd love to discuss further.  -- Please get back to me and I will connect you with our Editor-in-Chief </span></p>]]></description>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/9085/Miss_Subways_exhibition_coming_to_New_York</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The Miss Subways beauty contest held by New York City's transit system between 1941 and 1976 was wildly popular in its day, even inspiring a character in Leonard Bernstein's &quot;On the Town, but the contests significance as a pop cultural and perhaps proto-feminist phenomenon has been largely overlooked. Writer Amy Zimmer (MC 98) and artist Fiona Gardner are tracking down former Miss Subways for an exhibition scheduled for the New York Transit Museum in 2010. By focusing on the personal stories of former winners as well as the contest's wider historical and social context we are looking at the shifting attitudes of women, work and beauty since World War II.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p><p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If you know of any Miss Subways, please let us know. We are also in the midst of a fundraising effort for the show, which is a sponsored project of the New York Foundation for the Arts. NYFA is a 501(c)3, tax exempt organization founded in 1971 to work with the arts community throughout New York State to develop and facilitate programs in all disciplines. NYFA will receive grants on behalf of the Miss Subways Project, ensure the use of grant funds in accordance with the grant agreements and will provide program or financial reports as required. Checks can be made payable to the New York Foundation for the Arts and sent to Amy Zimmer, 65 Ludlow Street, Suite 9, New York, New York 10002.

            <title>Response Needed to Changes to Yale Freshman/Ethnic Counselor Program</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/9061/Response_Needed_to_Changes_to_Yale_Freshman_Ethnic_Counselor_Program</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Hi,</p>
<p>My name is Robert Sanchez (SY '08) and I am writing to ask for your help in responding to changes being implemented to Yale  College's counseling program. In the upcoming weeks, the Yale administration plans to make changes to its freshman counselor program. As former students who benefited from the EC program, past ECs, and concerned alumni, we feel that the proposed changes would be detrimental to the counselor program and would have a negative impact on future students of color entering Yale. Unless we respond quickly, these new changes will begin to take place in the next week.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The proposed changes are outlined below, as well as a list of some of the problems we feel exist with the new plans. We ask that you please read through these changes, our concerns, and respond by writing an email to Dean Mary Miller, Dean of Yale College (<a href="mailto:mary.miller@yale.edu">mary.miller@yale.edu</a>) and Dean Marichal Gentry, Dean of Student Affairs (<a href="mailto:marichal.gentry@yale.edu">marichal.gentry@yale.edu</a>).  <b><u>Please respond ASAP this week</u></b> as these changes will begin to be implemented in the upcoming days. The email should only take a few minutes.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In your response, we encourage you to elaborate as much as you would like, sharing your own experiences with the counselor program and why you feel it is important to preserve. It is very important to share our viewpoints as alums to the administration, to demonstrate why they need to change their approach to the counselor program. Also, <b><i>please pass this along to other alums</i></b> who would be interested in helping to respond.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Thank you for your help with this issue.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Sincerely,</p>
<p> </p>

*And get paid. <br /><br />
Community-based Learning (CBL) is a program that provides students with the opportunity to complete academic projects that address the needs of community nonprofits and government organizations. Organizations identify research, analysis, or evaluation needs and propose them as CBL projects. Projects are matched to Yale courses and students complete them in an academic context with complimenting coursework. The final project meets academic requirements of the students' course while serving as a resource for the organization. <br /><br />
We are currently seeking a new student co-coordinator for Community-Based Learning. This will be the first year that two students will be working as co-coordinators (in place of a single student coordinator). The student coordinators will work with the community, students, administrators and professors to create and facilitate CBL projects, track classes and progress throughout the semester, and work on outreach and evaluation of the program for the future. Spring semester 2009, the new co-coordinator will focus on working with the current coordinator to develop a sustainable program and advocate for the institutionalization of CBL within Yale College. Student coordinators work closely with CBL teaching assistants, supportive faculty, Dwight Hall staff, and Dwight Hall student leadership. <br /><br />
This is a minimum two-semester commitment, with opportunity for extension, requiring about 8 hours a week. Work-study or stipend is provided through Dwight ...</span></font></div></div>]]></description>

<p><br />
Dear Friends,<br /><br />
Do I have a tutor for you!!! <br />
Here's an altogether too familiar scenario. Your child struggle for hours <br />
to make sense of assigned reading in a history or literature class. She <br />
would rather undergo root canal than write a paper. Her self-esteem is plummeting each test and report card. You are tearing out your remaining tufts of <br />
hair. <br />
If so, I suggest you get Francesca on the case. Young people adore her and <br />
she is not only smart, experienced and rigorous but full of fun and <br />
creativity. She is also an expert in guiding students through the process of writing <br />
the crucial college essay.<br /><br />
At the moment she has room in her schedule for a few more. Please see <br />
below for a description of her services and respond to her directly at <br />
__francescarifka@_francesc_ (mailto:<a title="mailto:_francescarifka@gmail.com" href="mailto:_francescarifka%40gmail.com"><u><font color="#0000ff">_francescarifka@gmail.com</font></u></a>) or <br />
917 304 3800.<br /><br />
Good luck to all, parents and kids!<br />
Susan<br />
_www.susanyankowitz.com_ (<a title="http://www.susanyankowitz.com/" href="http://www.susanyankowitz.com/"><u><font color="#810081">http://www.susanyankowitz.com</font></u></a>) <br /><br />
FROM FRANCESCA MORDINI LEIBOWITZ<br />
After many years of private tutoring and teaching in English and Social <br />
Studies classrooms, I am convinced, to put it simply, that its almost impossible <br />
for kids to go wrong if they can read and write well. The pen may very well <br />
be mightier than the sword, but only if one knows how to wield it! <br />
I specialize in tutoring middle and high school students in reading and <br />
writing skills, social studies, AP English ...</p></div></div></div>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>If you had the opportunity to reignite your <span>Yale </span>passion, reconnect with old classmates, and meet the next generation of <span>Yale</span> students, would you take it? If you could be a part of the next chapter in the historic Ivy League rivalry by participating in the single largest competitive event ever held between Ivy universities, would you join? If thousands of undergraduates, graduate students, and fellow alumni called upon you to help them propel Yale to victory in the name of school pride and honor, would you answer?<br /><br />
Now you have the chance. Go to <a href="http://ivy.gocrosscampus.com/">ivy.gocrosscampus.com</a> and sign up for the 2008 Ivy League Championship. It's a fun territorial conquest game (similar to the board game Risk) that only takes two minutes a day to play and is easy to learn. Last year, over two thousand alumni fell in love with the game and now you have the chance to find out why. Check out <a href="http://ivy.gocrosscampus.com/">ivy.gocrosscampus.com</a> and help your <span>Yale</span> brethren out-strategize their Ivy rivals and claim victory.<br /><br />
You can read the NY Times article about last year's game <a href="http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/21/technology/21ivygame.html?_r=1&amp;oref=slogin">here</a>.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Home Environment for rural street children in Bani, DR - Support Volunteers Wanted</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/8168/Home_Environment_for_rural_street_children_in_Bani_DR_Support_Volunteers_Wanted</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>We are creating a house and environment for 15 street boys (1st Stage - girls expected later) -ages 9-12- near Bani, Dominican Republic (Bani is about an hour south of Santo Domingo). 1st Stage is getting food for the kids and basic education. Also, basic health support (there is a great group of professionals there working on health issues) and a home. Basically the kids are very polite and funny but have been living at the local park shining shoes and begging. Later, we expect to have chickens and livestock for them to learn to care for, some plantings and mechanical activities.</p>
<p>We need some people who may do support from New York and the States as we will be mostly in DR and some in South Florida. We do not know how to do anything in the area of getting grants, support and volunteers. More than money, we need and think there can be a lot of interest in people coming down there to do volunteer work, teaching what they know how to do, cooking and cleaning, organizing sports and all kinds of outdoor activities. Something like Peace Corps for grown-ups.</p>
<p>If you want to get involved, or have suggestions of any type, please email me your info and I will answer whether I am here or down there. Guillermo_gleizer@aya.yale.edu Thanks.</p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p> <span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(38,38,38);line-height:16px;">If you follow development in emerging markets, or even World Cup Soccer, you are aware of the amazing development of South Africa since apartheid ended in 1994. There is still tremendous inequity though; And it threatens to stall progress. A new non-profit, Amandla, works for a South Africa in which everyone can access <b>empowering</b><span style="font-weight:normal;"> education opportunities leading to equitable development. We do this by supporting successful grassroots organizations, </span><b>connecting</b><span style="font-weight:normal;"> them with donors of all giving abilities and </span><b>partnering</b><span style="font-weight:normal;"> with them to build their capacity and maximize impact. Amandla is currently seeking five individuals inspired by its mission who want to become members of its founding board. The board will spearhead organizational development and initial fundraising. For more information, contact Scott Clarke directly at scott.clarke@aya.yale.edu.</span></span></p>]]></description>

            <description><![CDATA[<p style="text-align:center;"><img style="width:409px;height:284px;" height="150" width="250" alt="" src="http://imgdr.massmind.com/uploads/yalenet/__subsites/YAAMNY/images/v1.abeonboat.jpg" /></p>
<p>Abraham Morrison August 18 1967 -  August 18, 2008<br />
With love, generosity, and a great deal of wit, Abe shared his spirit with the world. He climbed ruins in Pompeii and Ephesus, rode camels and explored pyramids in Egypt, took a balloon ride across the Serengeti, explored catacombs of Rome and Turkey and the largest cemetery in Paris, and played Baccarat in Monte Carlo in full tux and tail. <br />
<br />
Abe toured every corner of America with different Broadway shows before settling in NYC as a Broadway stagehand.  His career allowed him to work alongside the likes of Dame JudI Dench, Linda Lavin, Valerie Harper, Brian Dennahy, Christopher Plumber, Julienne Moore, Rosie ODonnell, Alan Alda, and Julia Roberts in both successes and flops.<br />
<br />
But the highlight of his life was the friendships he made along the way, and Abes love of family and kids.  He has left indelible memories for all who have been lucky enough to be warmed by his charm, his wonderful sense of humor, and free spirit.  Abraham Morrison is survived by his mother, father, brother, cousins, and many amazing friends he would prefer to call family.<br />
<br />
A MEMORIAL SERVICE FOR HIS NEW YORK FRIENDS WILL TAKE PLACE ON SUNDAY, OCTOBER 12 AT 6:30PM AT THE SAJ AT 15 WEST 86TH STREET. Donations in Abe¹s honor can be made to  Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS or The Shira Ruskay Center</p>]]></description>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/7588/Union_Leaders_of_the_Future_Scholarship</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Embracing its mission to enhance the value of union membership and <br />
support a stronger labor movement, Union Privilege has developed a <br />
scholarship program to help more women and people of color become <br />
union leaders. The program provides annual awards up to $3,000 to <br />
help future leaders with the cost of continuing their education or <br />
training in order to pursue their union career goals and leadership <br />
skills.<br /><br />
How to Apply<br />
Visit the Union Plus site for more information and to download an <br />
application. The application deadline is September 29, 2007.<br /><br />
Eligibility<br />
A current union member from the U.S., Puerto Rico, Canada, Guam and <br />
the Virgin Islands of a union participating in any Union Plus <br />
program. <br /><br />
Completed application form with a recommendation letter from a union <br />
leader who has knowledge of the applicant's leadership potential. <br /><br />
Applicant must be female and/or a member of a racial/ethnic <br />
minority, defined as American Indian or Alaskan, Asian or Pacific <br />
Islander, African American, Hispanic, or multi-racial.<br /><br />
Award Usage<br />
Applied toward the completion of an accredited degree, coursework or <br />
seminar at an accredited educational institution (college, <br />
university, community college, recognized technical or trade <br />
school). Important note: Not all union-sponsored leadership training <br />
courses are accredited. This program is offered under the Union Plus <br />
Education Foundation Trust, which means the program is restricted to <br />
granting awards for degrees/courses/seminars that are accredited. <br /><br />
Financial need includes the cost of tuition/seminar fees, and <br />
related travel and expenses.<br /><br />

<p>Well, we've reached the height of summer, and rather than have you in front of a computer reading this, we'll keep the intro to this month's newsletter short and sweet and simply highlight a few of the noteworthy happenings of July.&nbsp;</p>
<p>There's no better time for a park outing, and we're especially excited about the Beautify Prospect Park Service Event on July 26. (YAAMNY is providing complimentary food and recreational sports.) &nbsp;The event is sponsored by the Public Service and Social Justice Group, which is actively seeking suggestions for future projects.&nbsp;</p>
<p>For those looking to improve their indoor living situations, there are some great&nbsp;<a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(26,97,177);" href="http://yaamny.net/Browse_Housing">real estate steals and deals&nbsp;</a>as well as a happy hour at the end of the month sponsored by the Yale Alumni Real Estate Association.&nbsp;And don't forget about the Yale Club's weekly Happy Hour, now in full swing.&nbsp;</p>
<p>As always, the quality and breadth of the activities here depend on YOU.&nbsp; Continue to check out&nbsp;<a style="background-color:transparent;color:rgb(26,97,177);" href="http://YAAMNY.net">YAAMNY.net&nbsp;</a>and tell us what's happening!</p>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/7232/IMPROV_and_POLITICAL_NOVELS_classes_by_Bob_Lamm</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color:rgb(34,34,34);font-family:'Trebuchet MS';font-size:14px;font-weight:bold;line-height:normal;">Classes on THE JOY OF IMPROV and on CLASSIC POLITICAL NOVELS taught by Bob Lamm.</span></p>
<p> Bob Lamm--a member of the class of 1969 and a Visiting Lecturer at Yale in 1978 and 1980--will be offering two classes this fall and winter at the City University of New York Graduate Center (34th St. and 5th Ave.)</p>
<p>THE JOY OF IMPROV: Join in the fun of doing improvisational comedy in a relaxed, supportive atmosphere. No performing experience is necessary--just a willingness to experiment, play, and laugh with others! No student is forced to do an exercise or game, but everyone is encouraged to participate. (Four Thursday nights, September through December. You can attend on a single-session basis. This class ran at the Grad Center for 13 semesters from 2001 through 2007.)</p>
<p>CLASSIC POLITICAL NOVELS: We will read and discuss five political novels--among them, John Steinbeck's THE PEARL (which students must read for the first session), Chinua Achebe's THINGS FALL APART, and Carson McCullers' THE HEART IS A LONELY HUNTER. These works are &quot;political&quot; not because they examine politics or government but because they richly illuminate power relations--including dynamics of gender, race, and class--while telling memorable, moving stories. Students will be expected to read each novel and participate actively in class discussions. (Five Tuesday nights, September through January.)</p>
<p>INSTRUCTOR: Bob Lamm's political articles, personal essays, interviews, and profiles have appeared in more than 40 periodicals--among them, the New York Times, Publishers Weekly, and Ms. Magazine--and in six anthologies. He has taught &quot;serious&quot; classes at Yale, Queens College, and the New School. He has run improv classes and workshops for the CUNY Grad Center, the HOPE Program, the Jewish Theological Seminary, the NYSTEA Drama Power Conferences, Friends in Deed, the Vampire Cowboys Theatre Company, and ...</p>]]></description>

<p>But all we're going to tell you in this YAAMNY newsletter is the 15 things your friends are doing in Arts and Entertainment (plus one picnic).</p>
<p>YAAMNY has recently hosted some terrific social events, and this month we have truly extraordinary Arts and Entertainment events brought to you by our incredibly talented, energetic and generous fellow alums.</p>
<p>I've always felt that the arts were one of the most special parts of the Yale experience that tended to get under supported in the alumni community. &nbsp;I hope this month marks a milestone in YAAMNY's small part to make that less so.</p>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/7171/Yale_Athletics_Leads_Nation_with_28_NCAA_Public_Recognition_Awards_Again</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>Yale had 28 teams honored by the NCAA with Public Recognition Awards for high Academic Progress Rate scores Thursday, four more than any other school in the country. This is the third year in a row Yale has led the nation in teams recognized for high APR scores.</p>
<p>Last year Yale also led the nation with 28 Public Recognition Awards, four more than any other school. In 2006 26 of Yale's 29 teams that were eligible to be rated had APR scores in the top 10 percent.</p>
<p>This year a total of 712 teams across 192 Division I institutions were honored with the awards, which are given to those teams whose multi-year APR scores are in the top 10 percent of all squads in their respective sports. The Ivy League was the Division I conference with the largest number of high-performing squads, with 150 teams receiving awards this year. Yale (28 teams) was followed by Dartmouth (24), Brown (21), Penn (20), Princeton (19), Harvard (18), Cornell (11) and Columbia (9).</p>
<p>The Academic Progress Rate measures semester-by-semester progress toward graduation of every individual team in Division I and includes eligibility, retention and graduation as factors. The APR awards two points each term to student-athletes who meet academic eligibility standards and who remain with the institution. A team's APR is the total points earned by the team at a given time divided by the total points possible, multiplied by 1,000. It includes four years. Multi-year APR scores for all Division I sports teams, including the teams receiving public recognition awards, will be announced May 6.</p>
<p>Yale's 28 Public Recognition Award recipients are:</p>
<p> </p>
<p> </p>
<ul><li>Baseball</li>
    <li>Men's Basketball</li>
    <li>Men's Cross Country</li>

            <description><![CDATA[<p>My first feature, a psychological thriller called You Belong to Me, will be released on DVD by Wolfe Releasing and on Warner Pay Per View on June 10. The film stars Daniel Sauli (The Sopranos, United 93) as a New York architect who is obsessed with René, a hot young French guy, and moves into his building, only to become the object of obsession for his eccentric landlady, Patti D'Arbanville (Rescue Me, The Sopranos, My So Called Life). The film won the Audience Award for Best First Feature at San Diego FilmOut and <i>Variety</i> calls it: &quot;<b>A nifty little suspenser bordering on horror, Sam Zalutsky's first feature puts a gay spin on creepy-apartment-building-entrapment scenarios a la Polanski's &quot;The Tenant&quot; and &quot;Rosemarys Baby.&quot; Go to wolfevideo.com for more information.

JUNTA FOR PROGRESSIVE ACTION, INC.<br />

JOB OPENING<br />
POSITION: WORKER CENTER ORGANIZER<br /><br />
JUNTA for Progressive Action, Inc. is the oldest New Haven non-profit serving the low-income and Latino community.  JUNTA combines advocacy, direct assistance, and community organizing in meeting the needs of the community.<br /><br />
THE WORKER CENTER AT JUNTA<br /><br />
The Worker Center at JUNTA aims to provide workers with a place to strategically think about ways to 1.) collectively identify and grapple with workplace justice issues in their community and beyond; 2.) determine appropriate priorities and agendas for addressing workplace issues; and 3.) actively develop leadership/organizing skills that can lead to a more civically engaged community. Ultimately, the Worker Center at JUNTA will allow workers affected by abuses such as nonpayment of wages, discrimination, and unsafe working conditions to emerge as core leaders and stakeholders in the much needed responses to those problems.<br /><br />
The work behind the project began with JUNTAs Workplace Justice Initiative(WJI) in 2005. The Workplace Justice Initiative organized worker rights workshops for the community and mediated between employees and employers to resolve work related conflicts. Currently, the Worker Centers vision involves structured and continued training for workers and emerging Center leaders on worker rights and organizing; plans for broad dissemination of worker rights information to the community; recruitment of Center members; collaboration with pro-bono lawyers that will allow the Center to develop effective grassroots organizing campaigns around specific workplace justice cases; and extensive use of the immigrant and English-speaking press to promote dialogue on worker rights.<br /><br /><br />

The Dwight Hall Board is extremely gratified to find in Alex Knopp a new leader who brings a lifelong career in public service, a deep moral and intellectual commitment to social justice and the hands-on experience of a big city mayor able to manage the daily operations of Dwight Hall, said Deborah Rose, Chair of the Board of Directors of Dwight Hall. We are indebted to Kathrine Burdick for her many years of extremely able leadership. <br />

The Social Justice Network Organizing Fund is designed to support projects that may not otherwise obtain funding from other campus sources.  By securing financial resources for social justice projects, the organizing fund makes a profound impact upon the social justice community at Yale.</p>]]></description>

<center><strong>Origins of Activism</strong></center>
<p><br /><img width="1" hspace="15" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.yale.edu/images/dot_clear.gif" /> Dwight Hall was founded in 1886 as the Yale University Christian Association. It was incorporated twelve years later as an independent, non-profit educational and religious organization. Throughout its history, Dwight Hall has been a student-run organi zation. Students form the Cabinet and Executive Committee. Dwight Hall staff support and advise students and act as liaisons between the Dwight Hallers and Yale. Dwight Hall provides students with resources, the support, and the space necessary to part icipate in social justice and public service work. Although many Dwight Hallers and Dwight Hall organizations take political stands and participate in controversial actions, Dwight Hall as an organization is neutral, which means that it often criticized by the &quot;radicals&quot; and &quot;establishment&quot; alike. However, without neutrality, Dwight Hall students would not have the freedom to develop their own projects, organizations, or moral values.<br /><br /><img width="1" hspace="15" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.yale.edu/images/dot_clear.gif" /> In the beginning, there were three types of activities in the Hall: religious work, social action/justice, and public service. At Dwight Hall, students met for discussion, Bible study, and worship. These Christian activities motivated Yale students' in volvement in the public service and social justice work. Throughout the Christian Gospels, Jesus taught through word and example that it is the duty of Christians to serve other people in need and to create a more just society on Earth. Since the 1970s, Dwight Hall has not been an explicitly Christian organization, although Dwight Hall has continued to be a place where students develop and explore their own moral and religious convictions.<br /><br /><img width="1" hspace="15" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.yale.edu/images/dot_clear.gif" /> Since the 1800s, Dwight Hallers have participated in various kinds of public ...</p>]]></description>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/6980/The_Great_Inclusion_Politicians_Doers_and_Bureaucrats</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<h2>Do-ocracy</h2>
<p>Nicole Possin '94 attended a reception last March 31 where we were discussing some of the ideas of what YAAMNY should be and she stood up and described YAAMNY as a potential &quot;Do-ocracy.&quot;  An institution, I gathered, dedicated to enabling other people to &quot;DO&quot; and organize around whatever came to mind.</p>
<p>Her example was Burning Man New York, an offshoot of the famous Burning Man new day hippie style creative arts party desert love fest that comes together every year.</p>
<p>The Do-ocracy theme made sense to me.  I'm a fan of desert love festing generally, I am by nature a doer and most importantly I've seen this very website filled to brimming with the amazing doings of Yalies for several years.</p>
<h2>Retreats, Plans and Strategies</h2>
<p>Which admiration for &quot;Doing&quot; makes me instinctively skeptical of the Politicians and Bureaucrats that often come together to run institutions and end up defending old and tired structures to the exclusion of the very doers who want to participate and could refresh those institutions.</p>
<p>I certainly do not want to be a calcified old president atop a guilt old club catering to tired old members reminiscing of long gone old spring days.  But the truth is no one ever sets out to be calcified and irrelevant. </p>
<p>I've found time and again, that individuals make great parties and events.  And can even do so for extended periods.  But it is Politicians and Bureaucrats that make organizations that outlast individuals.</p>
<p>The beauty of great political savvy in my mind is the politics of inclusion.  If we start with the premise that our community is smart and worthy then the goal of managing the group is always improved by the participation of the group and ...</p>]]></description>

            <title>YAAMNY 2008 Strategic Planning Retreat Reflections by Nicole Rose</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/6978/YAAMNY_2008_Strategic_Planning_Retreat_Reflections_by_Nicole_Rose</link>
            <description><![CDATA[This weekend I am having the experience of coming together with diverse members of the Yale Alumni community of New York in a discussion that is encouraging the expansion of ideas through an all day strategic planning session directed at developing a scope of vision and objectives for YAAMNY. The group is comprised of about 30 Yale Alumni leaders under the direction of Mark Dollhopf '77 (Executive Director-AYA) and Jenny Chavira '89 (Director for Major Cities-AYA).

The retreat started last night with a wonderful cocktail hour and dinner at the Tarrytown House and Estate, during which all of the retreat members had a chance to get to know each other, share what the Yale experience meant to each of us and communicate our vision of involvement with YAAMNY and New York's Shared Interest Groups (SIGs).

Some of the questions/thoughts that have been coming up during today's discussion are:
How is New York a better place because there are leaders here? How is the Yale leadership made manifest in New York? How are we able to simultaneously define ourselves is individuals within the Yale family (Shared Interest Groups &amp; YAMMNY), AND make a difference in the world at large? How do we continue the Yale value of 'life long learning and service' through the alumni association? How do we leverage the talents of our Yale community to achieve our collective goals? 

Mark Dollhopf, Executive Director of the AYA, presented the concepts of powerful experiences promote serial reciprocity, and that the combination of 1) Vision and 2) Leadership were integral and crucial components to the sucess of a non-profit structure. He explained that the relationship between the AYA and the different alumni associations and SIGs has changed, that the AYA is here to support the different groups the way that a professional ...]]></description>

<p>At the AYA reception two weeks ago, apart from the free drinks and treats, we had almost 100 Yalies join us upstairs for an energetic discussion about the future of YAAMNY.&nbsp;</p>
<p>And so you know its not all just talk, please see the great event supporting Best Buddies below, and we'll have another inter club alumni mixer May 13 at the Taj, organized by the indefatigable My Luu (details coming in May).</p>

Hope you're doing well. Please consider signing this petition to urge President Levin to speak up for human rights in Tibet, and send it to others as well. Because of <span class="nfakPe">Yale</span>'s long-standing ties with China we think this is a pretty good pressure point for activism.

<p> </p>
<p>We at Dwight Hall believe in collaborating with similar organizations at different universities throughout the country. While our structures may be more or less similar, we share the same underlying values and commitment to community service and social justice. Through regular communication, we hope to achieve better solutions to the institutional and operational challenges that face us all.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In March of 2008, five representatives from Dwight Hall travelled to Cambridge for an evening of productive dialogue with our peers from <a href="http://www.pbha.org/">Phillips Brooks House Association</a> (PBHA) at Harvard and <a href="http://www.madisonhouse.org/">Madison House</a> at University of Virginia. A photo from the event, generously hosted by PBHA, is included to the right.</p>]]></description>

<p><img width="250" height="348" align="right" src="http://imgdr.massmind.com/media/uploads/yalenet/__subsites/base/rahwatercolor.jpg" alt="" />Often, the first couple of months of a new year prove to be a time of reflection and plan making.

<p><span style="font-size:small;">We designed this website so <span style="font-size:larger;"><b>Yale Club leaders</b></span> and their members could collaborate on common goals.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">For this reason, we made the majority of the website accessible to everyone.  We hope that members and leaders will take the additional step of posting what they believe will be useful information to other members and leaders.  </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:small;">Keeping in mind that some information (e.g. vendor pricing, leader contact information) may be personal or proprietary in nature, we decided to include the ability for pre-approved posters (generally Club Leaders) to post information that only other pre-approved Club Leaders may view.  Please contact XX to request pre-approved status.  Thank you for helping us build a website to help us all.</span></p>]]></description>

            <title>04/20/07 - Historic donation to Latino Alumni Fund</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/6420/04_20_07_Historic_donation_to_Latino_Alumni_Fund</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p>At last weeks event, the interim working group also announced a  				goal of raising $2,500 to benefit the Latino Alumni Fund and the  				Latino Alumni Prize.  The group believed the goal was attainable  				but could not have anticipated that it would be surpassed almost  				as quickly as it was announced.  Carlos M. Morales, class of  				75, Senior Vice President and Associate General Counsel at  				Merrill Lynch, pledged a $10,000  challenge grant that very  				evening.  His generous contribution will not only support the  				Latino Alumni Prize, it will help provide for the immediate,  				emergency needs for many of our current students.  The 				<span class="st">Board</span> and I will work  				with Carlos and all our other donors to make sure these funds  				are used wisely and effectively. <br />
 <br />
We are extremely appreciative of Carlos' support and have no  				doubt that his gift will inspire other alumni to make meaningful  				contributions.  I also anticipate that his challenge will be  				met. Indeed, we collected almost $1,000 at last weeks event to  				start that effort. Given what Ive learned in my work with  				Latino alumni from other regions, Im guessing they will be  				looking to embellish on the job that Carlos and the other  				Tri-State area alumni already started.  If you are interested in  				making a tax-deductible contribution to the Latino Alumni Fund, 				<a href="http://www.yalelatinos.com/Pledge%20Card%20Latino%20Alumni%20Fund.doc">please  				see the attached pledge form</a>.</p>]]></description>

            <title>Judges Needed for New York City Science and Engineering Fair</title>
            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/6350/Judges_Needed_for_New_York_City_Science_and_Engineering_Fair</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>The New York City Science and Engineering Fair for NYC High School students is, for the first year, sponsored by the City University of New York under the auspices of the CUNY College Now Program (which I work for).<br />
<br />
The Science Fair is looking for judges in fourteen areas, including social and behavioral sciences. Judges can be practicing scientists, doctoral students or other professionals in their fields in the New York City area (unfortunately the program cannot provide accommodations or funding for people coming from outside the area).<br />
<br />
It's an excellent volunteer opportunity and a chance to meet talented students from throughout New York City and become involved in fostering and promoting science education.<br />
<br />
You can find more information on qualifications for judges as well as the fair in general on the website:<br />
http://collegenow.cuny.edu/sciencefair/<br />
<br />
I can answer some questions as well, or at least direct you to someone who definitely can.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much!<br />

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/6278/Judges_Needed_for_New_York_City_Science_and_Engineering_Fair</link>
            <description><![CDATA[<p> </p>
<p>The New York City Science and Engineering Fair for NYC High School students is, for the first year, sponsored by the City University of New York under the auspices of the CUNY College Now Program (which I work for).<br />
<br />
The Science Fair is looking for judges in fourteen areas, including social and behavioral sciences. Judges can be practicing scientists, doctoral students or other professionals in their fields in the New York City area (unfortunately the program cannot provide accommodations or funding for people coming from outside the area).<br />
<br />
It's an excellent volunteer opportunity and a chance to meet talented students from throughout New York City and become involved in fostering and promoting science education.<br />
<br />
You can find more information on qualifications for judges as well as the fair in general on the website:<br />
http://collegenow.cuny.edu/sciencefair/<br />
<br />
I can answer some questions as well, or at least direct you to someone who definitely can.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much!<br />

<p>After 30 years of development, the Latino community at Yale is reaching a major milestone this weekend with a move toward organizing <b><a href="http://www.yaledailynews.com/tags/view/Alumni">alumni</a></b> on a national scale.</p>
<p>An interim National Latino Alumni Board, consisting of 12 former Yale undergraduates from around the country, will be meeting in New Haven on Saturday to discuss the organization of the growing Yale Latino alumni community. At the meeting, the interim board members hope to establish the ground work for a national association of Yale Latino alumni. Assistant Dean of Yale College Rosalinda Garcia, director of La Casa Cultural, said in addition to uniting the more than 3,000 Latino graduates, such an organization would provide tangible benefits for Latinos on campus.</p>
<p>Garcia said in speaking to alumni, it is apparent to her that one of their biggest interests is to connect to the undergraduates  they remember it being tough, and now that they are in a position to help, they want to know what they can do.</p>
<p>The structure and size of the Latino community at Yale have changed significantly over the past 30 years, she said. The first two Latino organizations founded at Yale were Movimiento Estudiantil Chicano de Aztlan, or MeChA, in 1969 and Despierta Boricua in 1972, which are Mexican-American and Puerto Rican student organizations, respectively.</p>
<p>Development in the early years of the Latino community was centered almost solely on these two ethnic groups. La Casa Boricua, a Puerto Rican cultural center, was founded in 1974. In the 1980s another building was dedicated to serve the Chicano cultural center, ...</p>]]></description>

            <link>http://www.yalenet.org/6157/Judges_Needed_for_New_York_City_Science_and_Engineering_Fair</link>

<p>The New York City Science and Engineering Fair for NYC High School students is, for the first year, sponsored by the City University of New York under the auspices of the CUNY College Now Program (which I work for).<br />
<br />
The Science Fair is looking for judges in fourteen areas, including social and behavioral sciences. Judges can be practicing scientists, doctoral students or other professionals in their fields in the New York City area (unfortunately the program cannot provide accommodations or funding for people coming from outside the area).<br />
<br />
It's an excellent volunteer opportunity and a chance to meet talented students from throughout New York City and become involved in fostering and promoting science education.<br />
<br />
You can find more information on qualifications for judges as well as the fair in general on the website:<br />
http://collegenow.cuny.edu/sciencefair/<br />
<br />
I can answer some questions as well, or at least direct you to someone who definitely can.<br />
<br />
Thanks so much!<br />

TOTAL UNDULATORY EXPERIENCE</h4>
<p><br />
<i><b>Tuesday January 22nd, 8:00-9:30pm</b></i><br />
<b>Guest instructor THALIA</b> (Jennifer Sears)</p>
<p>We welcome back Thalia and her deeply rooted approach to the art and science of undulations and belly rolls. This workshop will focus on subtle technique for full body and isolated undulations including the spine, arms, hands, and abdomen. A technique discussion and combinations will familiarize students with the muscle groups and breath patterns that make undulations exciting for both dancer and audience. And if everyone is very very well behaved, Thalia will show you how to flip quarters using just your abs!  Come see Thalia perform at Figaro on Sun. Jan. 20!</p>

A wonderful opportunity to study with this great teacher (one of Ranya's mentors), who rarely teaches in Manhattan. Shoshana will teach elegant, exciting choreography to the classic Egyptian opening piece &quot;Nebtedi (minein el hekaya)&quot;. She'll offer combinations that work nicely for the different musical changes in the beginning part of this piece: hipwork, traveling steps and veil work, focusing on dramatic presentation. Thorough warm up and preparation ...</p>]]></description>
