(EDITOR'S NOTE: The following was submitted by Theresa Kane.)

Host family interviews are happening NOW for anyone interested in changing a NYC inner-city child's life through the Fresh Air Fund!

Six thousand city children dream of a vacation, but only 3,500 host families participated last year. Our community needs to make these kids' dreams come true!

Contact Theresa Kane at theresa.kane@friendlytown.org, 978-618-0676 or The Fresh Air Fund New York Office at 800 367-0003, or visit www.freshair.org for more information on this great experience.

Trips dates are July 20-27, 2012 and Aug. 15-22, 2012.

Singles, couples and families can host a child ages 6 to 12. Fresh Air provides for transportation to and from NYC as well as medical and liability insurance. No long-term commitment unless you choose to do so.

Together we can change lives!
