They have employees who work in the bigger low-income area high schools keeping track of kids who get lost in the system etc. SOme of my money is also targetted for sending kids to school camps and excursions, because often these kids miss out because their parents can't come up woth the dosh at the time.<br /><br />When I retire I'd like to spend some time volunteering in this organisation.M-Hhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18409916623998907121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-18710479.post-30250143108052460902010-12-21T14:22:51.888-05:002010-12-21T14:22:51.888-05:00Thanks for promoting Summer Search!

I'm going to email them after the holidays and see if they've thought about opening a branch in Sacramento, where I live now. Being at the seat of government provides a lot of opportunities for donors, as well as for kids to meet people they might never otherwise lay eyes on. <br /><br />THANK YOU for posting about this. I have a bee in my bonnet now.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
