Please excuse any cross-postings.

I\x92m posting this on behalf of: Karen Kleppe Lembo, Director Caldwell Public Library:

\x93Our library was one of 3 in NJ to receive a Frontline/WORLD (PBS) Social Entrepreneurship Film Screening/Programming grant. (The other two libraries are Bloomfield Public Library and Fairleigh Dickinson University Library.) While I was very, VERY excited about the partnership with Teach for America - Newark, as well as Caldwell College's Business Division, and our planned panel discussion of October 29th -- now that I received the PBS DVD and started screening the film clips: I am blown away! I am trying to reach out to as many teens and college students, especially, in our North Jersey area -- just because I am so convinced watching these films (especially on the big screen of the Alumni Theatre at Caldwell College!) will SPARK something in these young people. I mean, I am 52 and now ready to sign on for at least 3 of these amazing endeavors.....okay, maybe AFTER our 16 year old graduates college.

Thanks for reading and please spread the word.\x94 \x96
