Sponsor Port City Links Health, Education, Science Fair and Carnival
Dear Friend of the Efamily Blog,
On behalf
of the Port City Chapter, The Links, Inc., we would like to invite you to serve
as a sponsor for our 11th Annual
Health, Education, Science Fair & Carnival
at Sunnyside Park on Saturday, March 5, 2016. Your support is critical to our ability to
touch the lives of children and families in our communities. We continue to receive many positive comments
from parents and community members and leaders about what a meaningful
experience that the Fair is for everyone who has attended over the years,
especially the children.
We are
excited to share that over 500 children and adults attended the Fair at
Sunnyside Park last year and were introduced to valuable community resources
and increasingly important STEM (science, technology, engineering, and math)
education and available careers through interactive exhibits, informational
games, prizes, health screenings, brochures and "hands on”
experiments! Students were exposed to a
petting zoo with farm animals and pony rides, along with science fair exhibits by
student science fair winners—which we hope to continue again this year with
your support. This year’s special focus is Heart Health; as heart disease is
especially hard hitting in minority communities. In addition, we hope to add
additional summer camp vendors and information on free camps to provide parents
more options for their youth during the summer.
Your
generosity will allow us to continue to strengthen our community and work to
eliminate health and education disparities in communities of color. We greatly
appreciate you and look forward to working with you this year.
Donors who
meet the print deadline of February 26,
2016, will receive recognition on fliers, press releases, Fair Blog, social
media site, Port City website, radio announcements, and signage on the day of
the event. We hope that you will utilize this mutually beneficial opportunity
to support and connect with the Third Ward, Sunnyside and surrounding
communities.
Sabrina Loeb, President Port City Chapter
Mary
Auzenne, Event Chairman
Donna
Blackshear-Reynolds, Event Co-Chairman

INTERN AT NASA INFO (even if it delays your college graduation!)
ALERT! Some students don't like to participate in COOP or internships because it will delay getting that diploma! In today's competitive job market it is MUCH better to delay graduation and get an internship that leads to a job than to graduate quickly and not have a job -- it's easier to get a job when you have one than to get a job if unemployed. JUST A FACT! Even if the job you get from the internship is not your dream job, showing you have a track record and were hired or made an offer after your internship is a :PLUS when interviewing for a new job! Companies know that the folks you worked with evaluated your value added and thought enough of your efforts to hire you!
NASA Johnson Space Center
(JSC) will be opening several job announcements in February for our
Pathways Intern Employment Program (a Cooperative Education Program). The

Dad to Joy and Reggie-husband to Cheryl--very involved inside and outside of work...tonight his widow Cheryl, founder and CEO of the Dr. Ronald E. McNair Educational Science Literacy Foundation (DREME) will be featured on many interviews today including you may catch her on CBS Evening News, Saturday there will be an event in Lake City, SC where Joy will be the featured speaker. Keep the family in your thoughts and prayers today - it is the sacrifice of explorers like Ron that help humankind reach its destiny.
