The servers were down from 09/18/04 Sat night 11:30p to this morning (Monday) 09/20/04 at about 10:30am. Now that the network is back up it's on to cleaning up the horrific mess in our building and lot. Good luck to eveyone else who ended up in the river during this flood.

Create Summer Memories: Host a NYC Child |
Summer vacation, that special time of year for all children, is not far away. Thanks to the many families in the New Hope, PA area and throughout 13 Northeastern states and Canada, more than 1.7 million, New York City children from low-income neighborhoods have experienced free summer vacations in suburban and small town communities through The Fresh Air Fund. The Fund is seeking more families in the New Hope, PA area to give inner-city children a two-week vacation this summer. By volunteering as a host family for The Fund's Friendly Town Program, you can help give a child a break from the heat and noise of the crowded city streets. "A lot of what you do for the kids are simple things, the things you do every day in your yard and your neighborhood," says a Fresh Air host. Last summer, 13 Fresh Air children visited volunteer hosts in the New Hope, PA area. This year, The Fund needs more host families to'carry on its 127-year summertime tradition of sharing the joys of suburban and small town life like smelling fresh flowers, casting a fishing pole for the first time, or hearing crickets chirp. The friendships that develop between hosts and their Fresh Air visitors often last a lifetime.
There are no financial requirements for hosting a Fresh Air child. Hosts can select the gender and approximate age of their visitor. First-time visitors are six to 12 years old, and reinvited youngsters may participate in the Friendly Town Program through age 18.
To learn more about hosting a Fresh Air child this summer, please contact Amy Reynolds at 215-862-5675, or call The Fresh Air Fund at (800) 367-0003. You can also visit The Fund's Web site at www. freshair.org. |

As I’m writing this letter it occurs to me this weekend alone
in our community - a Riverboat was launched, an opening was held
at Gratz Gallery, the closing gallery talks took place at our show,
a local opera company performed and New Hope and environs seemed
to find time to support it all. We are an amazing community that
I am so happy to be part of. And on behalf of New Hope Arts, Inc.
I want to offer our heartfelt thanks for all the community has given
to bring the New Hope Sculpture Project to life. Click
