A few weeks ago I told U. Pres. Robert Bruiniks about the very serious problems
with summer employment and activities. He immediately created the summer
camp opportunity by calling a few key leaders and getting
contributions. It was great action on his part, and a good example
of his goal to have the University play a role in helping the community that
surrounds
it.
The goal of the openings was not to have it open to
just any kid. The goal has been to find kids who could not
otherwise have this opportunity.
Transportation has been a huge
limitation.
So it would be very helpful if people could help
spread the word....AND especially go to families you know of whose kids could
not otherwise do this....and even help find ways to get kids to the site.
Brunicks and the U deserve a lot of credit for
helping...and it was very impressive to see the U. Pres., who has some huge
issues on his plate, make such a personal effort on behalf of kids in
Minneapolis.
