We told you about the birthday boy who raised money to send a kid to camp. Now, we learn from Serge the Concierge that host families are desperately needed:
There are trip dates set for August 2008 for over 200 children and they need host families to volunteer to host these inner-city children.Unless all prospective host families are screened and vetted by the end of July these 200 children may miss out on an invaluable experience
One last thing that is actually very important. The Fresh Air Fund is looking for families who want to extend an invitation to a 9-12 year old. We really need more families who want older children and boys.
Interested host families can contact (angie@freshair.org) immediately or call the Fresh Air Fund at 1-800-367-0003 (212.897.8900) and ask for Angie. If you've ever participated in the Fresh Air Fund, tell us about your experience in comments.
