HELP SHAPE A CHILD’S FUTURE by DONATING Books and magazines used and new to the Bridges Juvenile Center. Books should be appropriate for males and females ages 10 up to 16 Bridges Juvenile Center 1221 Spofford Ave Bronx, N.Y. 10474-5802
For pick up of large quantities contact Executive Director: Mr. Dennis Anyata at: (718) 764-2760 Mrs. Linda Nevels is spearheading this project. She is a civilian member of the Guardians Association, and currently a senior attending New York City College of Technology. Her Major is Human Services and her final class project required that she complete a need assessment at her internship site, which is Bridges Juvenile Center. There she noticed a lack of a functioning library and limited funds to purchase books.
Those interested can also subscribe to a teen magazine and have it sent directly to the facility. Linda Nevels can be reached at (718) 764-2753

Cancer Survivors Celebrate Life
At American Cancer Society Relay For Life
The American Cancer Society invites individuals to honor cancer survivors or pay tribute to those who have lost their battles with cancer to join a Relay For Life in your community. Relay For Life is an overnight community celebration where individuals and teams camp out and walk or run around a local track "relay" style to fight cancer. Funds raised support cancer research, education, advocacy and patient services in the community. All cancer survivors are invited to celebrate their triumph over cancer by participating in an inspirational "Survivors' Lap" to open the Relay For Life. A candlelight ceremony at nightfall honors those who have lost their lives to the disease.
Eleven New York City communities will hold Relay for Life events this spring and summer, including the Bronx:
Lehman High School, 3000 East Tremont Avenue
6:00 p.m., Friday, June 04 through 10:00 a.m., Saturday, June 05
The American Cancer Society is dedicated to eliminating cancer as a major health problem by saving lives, diminishing suffering and preventing cancer through research, education, advocacy and service. Founded in 1913, the Society has community-based offices in 3,400 communities, involving millions of volunteers across the United States. For more information anytime, call toll free 1-800-ACS-2345 or visit www.cancer.org.

A RAISIN IN THE SUN
A MUST SEE PLAY
by Ralph E Smith April 25, 2004 NYC: I never knew that Sean Combs could command the stage and bring a tear to my eye! The cast performance was outstanding. The play is about 3 hours but I lost track of time because I was feeling the show. The only thing I can say about it is go buy your ticket and be ready to cry, laugh. Great! Many thanks to Renee E. Smith- Our Community Calendar Editor for getting us great seats!
