Who's a Hero?

• A person who has contributed "over and above" to the community, overcome a significant hardship or attained an important goal
• A person somewhat "unsung" or not usually in the limelight
• A person with a compelling story to tell.
  

Because the winners' interviews will be televised, it's especially important that there's a compelling story to tell. We are hoping to find heroes who are also articulate and engaging!

Send email to...

lupita@communitymediacenter.net

...and include

• Your name and contact information
• The name and contact information of the person you are nominating
• A brief description of why your nominee should be selected.

Reminder: Youth Open House THIS SATURDAY, 1-4pm

Hey everyone,

This is just a reminder to join us at the first Youth Open House, this Saturday from 1-4pm. Students, parents and teachers can learn about opportunities for youth at the Media Center, such as the Youth Advisory Council, Internships, and volunteering. You can also enjoy performances by JeFFHH, who is releasing his first hip hop CD. Proceeds will benefit Hurricane Katrina victims. Also, enjoy music by Hella Original and The Contras. For those who like to sing and be a star, we'll have karaoke. And for those who are hungry, we'll have food.

So come join us and introduce yourself. Hope to see you there!
