Dear Members and Friends,

It may be just the beginning of winter but we are very

excited about our move to Harriman State Park this summer. Mike
Halpern and Lisa Nicotra, our Day Camp Directors, and the rest
of our sta are very busy with some exciting plans for our new
Day Camp facility. We are adding to the dock system at beautiful
Upper Twin Lake to enable us to have five cribs for teaching
beginning swimmers as well as a deep water area for experienced
swimmers. We will have buildings for changing, arts & crafts,
inrmary, drama, dance and more. Our new sports elds are
fantastic and we are very excited about the potential as we
develop our quality Day Camp programs at the new Mosholu
Day Camp at Harriman State Park.
There is also a lot happening at The Center. Our new Rock
Climbing Wall, funded by the LeBron James Family Foundation,
has already started to be enjoyed by some children learning how
to climb and were hoping to start some classes for adults.
Our refurbished Energy Fitness Center is just the place
to work off those extra holiday pounds! Weve made it
bigger to serve more people and our very reasonable
yearly membership fees can now be deducted from your
credit cards each month.
We are also busy registering for Little League.
Boys and girls, 5yrs. to 15yrs., enjoy a fun-filled
spring season of baseball but remember you must reg-
ister now for spring or you will be closed out.
Our FrEE Teen Centers are also in full swing
serving youth, 12 1/2yrs. - 18yrs., at our main building
on Dekalb Ave. and Gun Hill Road, P.S. 8 Beacon on
Briggs Ave. in Bedford Park, P.S. 86 Beacon by the
Armory in Kingsbridge Heights, MS 113 in Williams
Bridge, MS 142 in Baychester, and our Youth Center
at Edenwald Houses. Dont forget our Senior Centers
here at our main building and at Marble Hill Houses,
Monday - Friday 9am-4pm, with great lunches,
classes and friends.
Yours Truly,
Don Bluestone, Executive Director
rita Santelia, Associate Executive Director
