The South Orange/Maplewood Community Coalition on Race announced the return of Barbara Heisler Williams as its Executive Director, effective March 1, 2001.

Over 200 young and adult members of the community will sing classical and spiritual music, including Part One of Haydn's "The Creation," and Leonard Bernstein's choral masterpiece "Chichester Psalms," accompanied by an orchestra.

Committee membership is open to residents of South Orange and Maplewood, as well as to others with a stake in the future of our community. These committees are seeking new members:
- Potential neighbors are invited to visit our towns and receive a tour offered by our Touring Committee. This committee, made up of Coalition members and citizen volunteers, are not Realtors. They have designed a one and a quarter-hour tour that introduces our guests to all areas of our towns. Committee members also follow-up with potential neighbors who have received our packet or tour. New tour committee members are always welcome.
-The Finance/Development Committee works to raise funds through grants and other funding activities. This committee is very much in need of new members willing to develop fundraising events and programs.
- The Neighborhood Association and Civic Life Committee focuses on the development and support of neighborhood associations and specific ways to promote greater participation by all sectors of our community in the general civic life of the Maplewood and South Orange community.
If you are interested in learning more about these or our other committees, or would like to join a committee, please visit our website at www.twotowns.org or call us at 761-6116 and speak to Nancy at ext. 3.
If you have specialty skills, or the ability to make some other type of contribution, please contact our Executive Director at (973) 761-6116, Extension 2. |

Unfortunately Chico, not everything fits neatly in the categories assigned on this board. This seemed like the best fit -- I'm standing on my soapbox and telling folks about the meeting! |
