Inner-city youths enjoy simple summer pleasures

This summer, 26 New York City children found out just how special summer is in the northern Monmouth County area. Thanks to the dedication of Fresh Air Fund hosts, volunteers and supporters, inner-city youngsters experienced simple summertime pleasures in your community.

None of this would be possible without Corinne LeBaron, your local Fresh Air Fund volunteer leader who works throughout the year to make sure summer magic happens for host families and children. Corinne's generosity and commitment is an inspiration to us all. I invite you to join Corinne and the local Fresh Air Fund committee next spring and summer to help to spread the word about the wonderful opportunity of hosting.

The Fresh Air Fund, an independent, nonprofit agency, has provided free summer vacations to over 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877. For more information on how you can help to continue this wonderful tradition of volunteering, please call Corinne LeBaron at 732-513-3643 or visit www.freshair.org.
