North Star still publishes a printed newsletter to share the stories of our members, and this month we are featuring the story of Emile Marti. Emile has been a very active member of North Star over the past few years: hiking, cooking, the Ozzy Klate Memorial Fund Award, and many classes. You have likely seen his photo in our weekly emails. Here is a chance to learn a bit more of Emile’s back story, and to hear from a staff member, Anne Vanderburgh, about her work as a volunteer tutor and teacher at North Star. Thank you, Anne!
Happy Thanksgiving! Best wishes for a day with family and friends, and time for fun and reflection.
Post-Thanksgiving brings Giving Tuesday, our major Alumni Fund Drive and general Donor Appeal. For those of you who plan to support North Star with an annual gift, now is the time! We appreciate your generosity and support for making North Star available to all interested families regardless of their finances. Offering all young people an alternative continues to be a central mission of our program.
