or our Executive Director, Joanne Stewart at director@unpa.net.
We appreciate your input.
THE PLAY IS THE THING…
You are cordially welcome to join your University Neighbors for an evening
of desserts and theatre in support of UNPA. The next annual UNPA Dessert
Theatre Benefit is planned to be held at Syracuse Stage, Thursday, April
24, 2003. The Dessert Social Hour begins at 7PM. Show time is 8PM. The
play "…Into the Woods" will be performed by the Syracuse
University Drama Department. "…Into the Woods" is a continuation
of the story of Red Riding Hood. It is for general audiences… so bring
your children.
Please contact UNPA for more information, or send us your e-mail and
home address, and we will be sure to get more information to you as
it becomes available.
FREE ENERGY AUDITS AVAILABLE…
Free Energy Audits are available to University Neighbors through Entherm.
Entherm is a local weatherization company that performs home energy
audits under the New York State Energy Star Program. In addition to
climbing in and out of attics, certified energy auditors can help homeowners
prioritize their home improvement needs. Low 5% loans are also available
through this program to finance energy-related work using Fannie Mae
and NYSERDA funding. Grants are also available for people whose household
income is 60% of the NYS Median Income. Eligible energy saving measures
includes: insulation, ventilation, high efficiency heating systems,
energy star appliances, windows and doors, etc.
Bill Meadows, a certified energy auditor of Entherm, resides at 1155
Lancaster Avenue. He and his wife, Jacqueline are UNPA recipients who
welcome this opportunity to give back to our community by performing
energy audits for neighborhood families at no change (thereby saving
you about $107). If you are interested in this program, please contact
Bill at 420-2210.
WESTCOTT COMMUNITY CENTER
PRESENTS…
FOURTH ANNUAL UNIVERSITY NEIGHBORS LECTURE SERIES
The University Neighbors Lecture Series committee is excited to announce
its fourth season. Over $10,000 has been raised through the lecture
series to date. "The lecture series enhances the ability of the
Center to provide community programing for the 25,000 people that pass
through the Center’s doors," says Steve Susman, Executive Director
of the WCC.
Proceeds from the lecture series have been used to help purchase a video/data
projector. The after school program was enhanced by funds raised through
the lecture series. Improvements were made to the front lobby and landscaping
plans are in progress. An annual event, the 2002-2003 series covers
a range of topics from the community affairs to politics. Keeping with
our theme of University Neighbors, all of the presenters are from the
University neighborhood.
We encourage people to come and meet their neighbors. We welcome people
from outside the neighborhood to come and hear the presenters; join
us in dialogue and share refreshments after each presentation. Please
visit the Westcott
Community Center web site at http://www.westcottcc.org
for more information and a full listing of topics and presenters.
