Dear Mayor Salci: ~ ~
This year, The Fresh Air Fund is celebrating its 132"d summer of providing free summer vacations in the
country to low-income children from New York City. This summer, close to 5,000 boys and girls between
the ages of six and 18 will participate in the Friendly Town program. They will visit the homes of
volunteer host families living in rural and suburban communities throughout 13 northeastern states and
Canada. Hundreds of New York City youngsters will be visiting volunteer host families in and around the
Niagara Falls, Ontario area.
Since 1877, The Fresh Air Fund has provided free country vacations to more than 1.7 million children
from low-income neighborhoods. Fresh Air Fund children leave hot city streets behind for two weeks of
simple summertime fun -running through grassy yields, swimming in country lakes, catching fireflies at
dusk, and sleeping under skies filled with stars. For many of these children, a free Fresh Air vacation is
their first experience away from the inner-city. More than. 65% of Fresh Air Fund youngsters return to
visit host families year after year.
There are many more New York City youngsters who can benefit from summer days spent in suburban
and small town communities. We would reatly appreciate your help with reaching out to families who
mi hg t enjo h~~Fresh Air Fund children this summer by~proclaimin~ March 20, 2008 "Fresh Air
Fund Day in Niagara Falls." Your participation will be a great help to the host recruitment efforts of our
volunteer leaders in your state.
Enclosed please find a sample proclamation and background materials for your review. Thank you for
your time and consideration.

FACTS ABOUT THE FRESH AIR FUND
THE FRESH AIR FUND, an independent, not-for-profit agency, has provided free summer vacations to
more than 1.7 million New York City children from low-income communities since 1877.
Nearly 10,000 New York City children enjoy free Fresh Air Fund programs annually. In 2006, close to
5,000 children visited volunteer host families in suburbs and small town communities across 13 states
from Virginia to Maine and Canada. 3,000 children also attended five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre
site in Fishkill, New York. The Fund's year-round camping program serves an additiona12,000 young
people each year.
FRESH AIR CHILDREN
Children are selected to participate in The Fresh Air Fund Friendly Town program based on financial
need. Children are from low-income communities, with the majority receiving some form of public
assistance. Fresh Air youngsters are registered by more than 60 social service and community
organizations in all five boroughs of New York City.
FRESH AIR FUND FRIENDLY TOWN PROGRAM
Fresh Air children, boys and girls from six to 18 years old, visit over 300 Fresh Air Friendly Towns in the
summer. Fresh Air children on first-time visits to Friendly Town host families are six to 12 years old and
stay for two weeks. The program also has a special one-week option for New York City families who
would like to host children on their summer vacations in the country. Over 65 percent of all children are
reinvited to stay with host families, year after year. Reinvited youngsters may continue with The Fund
through age 18, and many spend the entire summer in the country. Fresh Air children and volunteer
families often form bonds of friendship that last a lifetime.
FRIENDLY TOWN HOST FAMILIES
Fresh Air Fund volunteer host families open their homes to inner-city children for two weeks or more in
the summertime. Each Friendly Town community is supervised by a committee of volunteers. Committee
members select host families after reviewing their applications, visiting them in their homes and checking
their personal references.
There are no financial requirements for hosting a Fresh Air child. Most hosts simply want to share their
homes with inner-city youngsters. Host families are not paid. The Fund has a.program for placing
children who have special physical or emotional needs.

3,000 New York City youngsters, ages eight to 15, attend five Fresh Air camps on a 2,300-acre site in
Fishkill, New York. Camp Hidden Valley is for boys and girls with and without special needs, eight to 12

weekend camping experiences. Special features shared by all camps include a planetarium, model farm,
wilderness trail and ropes course. Camp Tommy is named in honor of Board member/designer Tommy
Hilfiger for his dedication and support of Fresh Air children.
CAREER AWARENESS PROGRAM
The Fresh Air Fund's innovative Career Awareness Program is designed to help New York City
youngsters understand the relationship between school and work and how to make choices that will
determine their futures. In New York City, 12- to 14-year-olds participate in job shadowings that offer
close-up views of business and a career fair. The year-round program includes weekend camping trips and
an intensive three-and-a-half week summer session at the Career Awareness Camp -Camp Mariah. The
career camp is named in honor of Board member/singer Mariah Carey for her dedication, support and
commitment to Fresh Air youngsters. Career awareness graduates continue to receive support through the
Preoccupations Club and benefit from the guidance of volunteer mentors.
FRESH AIR FUND HISTORY
In 1877, the Reverend Willard Parsons, minister of a small rural parish in Sherman, Pennsylvania, asked
members of his congregation to provide country vacations as volunteer host families for children from
New York City tenements. This was the beginning of The Fresh Air Fund tradition. By 1884, Reverend
Parsons was writing about The Fund for New York's Herald Tribune, and the number of children served
gre~%. lIl 2006, eluse to 10;0uv New York -City childre~i experienced the joys of SutYlnlei"'tii~ile iii Friendiy
Towns and at five Fund camps in upstate New York.

It costs The Fresh Air Fund $678.00 for a visit with a volunteer host family and $1,298.00 to send a child

Dear Lord Mayor and Council:
The month of March marks Epilepsy Awareness Month across Canada. At
Epilepsy Niagara we are honouring this month with several activities and events
planned across the Niagara region. Our showcase event occurs on March 12
when Niagara Falls will be illuminated in lavender light as lavender is the colour
of epilepsy.
Epilepsy Niagara is dedicated to improving the lives of people living with epilepsy
through public awareness and education. We offer counselling, programs and
support services.
We request that council either proclaim or formally recognize the month of March
as Epilepsy Awareness Month.
Thank you for your consideration.
Sincerely,
Kelly Putter
Volunteer Coordinator, Epilepsy Niagara
