Now, my husband David Hochhauser & I coordinate the stages on Marathon Day at the Family Reunion. We also worked for you at the 1992 Democratic Convention. We went to an event at Madison Square Garden today that could have used some fine tuning in the volunteer department. Suddenly, David and I both said (at almost the same second) "where is Marilyn (HELLO, VOLUNTEERS) Shaw? Glad to hear you are doing well! Way to go Marilyn, I was one of your Marathon volunteers!

]]> Comment on Letter from Executive Director Mary Bleiberg by Susan Marber http://reserveinc.org/blog/2009/01/09/letter-from-executive-director-mary-bleiberg/comment-page-1/#comment-8135 Susan Marber Tue, 11 Aug 2009 19:50:10 +0000 http://reserveinc.org/blog/?p=89#comment-8135 Mary, I am a volunteer at the Hyde Leadership Charter School which opened three years ago in the Hunts Point section of the South Bronx. We are now looking to tell our amazing story to the media. Our school needs a pro bono PR professional to help us, and Marcia Kublanow at UJA recommended that I get in touch with you. The Hyde Leadership Charter School (Hyde-Bronx) is unique both in terms of our focus on parent involvement and our belief that character building is an essential part of what a school needs to teach in order to help students become responsible, happy and contributing adults. Hyde-Bronx emphasizes the critical success factor--the family-- and Hyde's family-based character education program doesn't just engage the student...it engages the whole family. Hyde-Bronx believes that parents/guardians are the primary teachers and home is the primary classroom. This unique approach allows teachers to partner with students' families. Hyde-Bronx is also unique in that it teaches integrity, leadership, curiosity, concern and courage which provides a strong foundation and means for achieving academic excellence. Any help you could provide in helping us find a pro bono PR professional so that we could share our story with the media, would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
