Fresh Air Fund needs volunteers

Summer is just around the corner, but there is still time to register to become a Fresh Air host family during summer 2008. The Fresh Air Fund is looking for host families in the Bath area to open their homes and hearts and to share the everyday joys of summertime with a Fresh Air child. From swimming in a pool, to afternoon bike rides, to exploring the endless night sky, Fresh Air children never forget their experiences.

Moreover, Fresh Air children aren't the only benefactors. The bonds between host families and their Fresh Air children often last a lifetime. Our volunteers demonstrate their commitment to helping New York City children by building and continuing the Fresh Air tradition in the community. With time left to sign up, why shouldn't you be a part of it?

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to more than 1.7 million New York City children since 1877. For more information on how you can become a host family this summer, please call Rachel Beiler at (607)243-8650 or The Fresh Air Fund at 800-367-0003 or visit www.freshair.org.
Sincerely,
Rachel Beiler
