“It is a game of chess with this city. We'll have to see how it is going to play out. The city goes back and forth trying to figure out what programs to cut and what they have funding for. What I would love to see is for the city to step up and run the rink 10 months out of the year so kids can play in the summer and we can have camps here in Glenwood.” TryingYearsPlayRunningKidsGamesCitiesStepsCuttingFiguresMonthsSummerProgramChessHaving FunCampsFundingBack And ForthStep Up Author:Bill Vaughan

“Organizer is kind of a grand term for what I was doing. I answered an ad that the Presbyterian Church of Chicago put up on college campuses. I was at the University of Kansas, and it's somewhat relevant to my life and work that I'm a Jew. But they weren't doing a religious litmus test. They wanted energetic, civil-rights-committed college students to come help them run some summer programs.” KindHelpingRunningWantedTermChurchReligiousRightsStudentsCollegeSummerProgramTestsUniversityCommittedJewCivil RightsChicagoRelevantAdsEnergeticCampusKansasOrganizerCollege StudentsPresbyteriansCollege Campus Author:Sara Paretsky
“I went away to this summer program after my junior year of high school. They used to have this thing called the Governor's School, and they had it for different disciplines - science, math, performing arts. I auditioned and I got accepted, and it was an eight-week program away from home. I went for acting. I was 15, and I turned 16 while I was there, so that was a seminal moment for me. It made me realize the life of it, the discipline of it, and the joy of that discipline, where it was all we did.” YearsArtMadeDifferentMomentsHomeSchoolUsedJoyRealizingActingWeekDisciplineSummerHigh SchoolProgramEightMathAcceptedPerformingGovernorsJuniorsAway From HomePerforming ArtsJunior YearJunior Year Of High School Author:Zachary Quinto

“I was a creative kid; I wasn't really into sports, and sports in the South are a pretty big deal. It's like a religion down there. It was tough to find my footing, but thankfully, my parents discovered, through a neighbor, this theater called Young Actors Theater and signed me up for the summer program. It really was a gift. Even if a kid doesn't go into acting or the arts like I did, some kids need that environment to find themselves and find what they love to do. I'm so thankful for that theater; it was a big gift to me.” ArtKidsSportsParentActingCreativeEnvironmentSummerToughProgramNeighbor Author:Tony Hale
“By refocusing our space program on Mars for America's future, we can restore the sense of wonder and adventure in space exploration that we knew in the summer of 1969.
