***This is a message from a member of Friends of Students for 60,000***
dear friends,
at last night's meeting, it was disclosed that the northport little league
has donated equipment for nicaragua. the stuff is being stored at the high
school awaiting shipment. also, millie willen reported that a local little
league team wants to pair with a team in nicaragua, perhaps exchanging
photos and letters. a rhode island school also donated equipment and gave
$1,100 for water.
two fund-raising ideas were presented. the first would involve little league
parents and players in a baseball benefit that might be held this fall. a
major league player might be the draw, and interaction on a ballfield or a
brunch are possibilities. joann moran, millie and shari kornblatt are
committee members. the other suggestion came from shari, and would be a
get-together for alumni of students for 60,000. the event would be a chance
to renew friendships, catch up on each other's post-high school stories, and
inform everyone of what friends is up to and how people can participate.
shari will check with her buddies to see what kind of event would bring the
biggest crowd.
the report by mike cipoletti and others on the comedor escolar (school
dining room) project was discussed. the breakfast program is currently only
30 percent self-sustaining, so boosting participation is the main concern.
instead of working the land to raise crops, some schools are renting land
and using the proceeds to help funding. another problem is that utensils and
other items are being pilfered from some schools. the rooms need to be
secured, and david lagermann offered to make recommendations. another
positive step could be to have children work in gardens at the schools to
raise food.
shari also reported that the community garden in huntington station is off
to a good start. local residents have been given plots on town-owned land
near the big h shopping center to raise vegetables. the family service
league is involved, and friends donated $1,000 several months ago to buy
tools and other materials to get the gardens started.
