As director of Youth In Crisis, I would like to inform
you about my organization and ask for your support for our upcoming
special event. The 3rd Annual Food for Thought Cookout will be held at
Walker’s Park
Youth In Crisis is a non-profit organization dedicated
to help youth who are in danger of becoming victims to violence and the
other pitfalls that often confront them. Many of our young people,
particularly the young men, are at the point of becoming an endangered
species. Youth In Crisis has worked hard to help de-escalate gang
violence, misdemeanor crime, drug abuse and domestic violence through
intervention and prevention. We are also advocates for troubled youth
in the schools and court system. Current work focuses on increased
neighborhood safety, outreach to youth, street patrols to talk to youth
who are hanging out and invite them into youth groups, and identifying
funding to increase our impact.
Youth In Crisis needs donations, resources and your
support to help make the 3rd Annual Food for Thought Cookout a
success. The Food for Thought Cookout has always been a day of fun,
games and togetherness for our surrouding communities and a opporunity
to promote unity and the concept that we really are all one big
family. As a supporter of this vital mission you will have signed on
to help shape and mold the minds of many young people who need our
help. We have considerable success up to this point but know that we
can extend our reach and do more if we are able to reach out to people
who want to help us make a positive cjange in our neighborhoods and
save our children

We want to tell you about a big event upcoming this summer, and to ask for your help in promoting it.
Our neighborhood will host a Music
Concert in Dorchester Park, featuring Boston's Landmarks Orchestra
under the direction of conductor Charles Ansbacher. The Boston
Landmarks Orchestra is one of only two professional orchestras in the
country whose mission is to perform all free concerts. Over 160,000
people have attended more than 125 concerts during the past seven years. The Landmarks Orchestra utilizes some of the finest
musicians in Boston to help create a vibrant cultural scene all summer
long, including summer-long Wednesday night concerts at the Hatch Shell
on the Charles River. Now that we have arranged to have our own local
performance in Dot Park, it surely will add to the seasons enjoyment
for scores of local residents. We are proud to serve as co-chair of the Dorchester Host
Committee, and it is my hope that upwards of a thousand neighbors will
join us in Dot Park for the concert, which will begin at 6:30 p.m. We
are hoping that you will agree to join with us in hosting this event. As a member of the Host committee, we ask two simple steps:
1.- tell your employees and customers about this wonderful event, and encourage them to attend;
2.- sponsor the concert, it is that easy- no meetings to attend, just help us promote this unique attraction for the community. Sponsors are asked to contribute amounts of $500 or
$1000, and we are seeking just 20 local businesses to join us in
support. All donations are fully tax deductible.
For questions or comments, please call Ed
at 617-834-7577 or Bill at 617-851-9630.

Dog owners from Dorchester will appear before
the Commissioners of the Boston Parks Department. As many of you know, we have been working on this effort
tirelessly for over two years and have received an enormous amount of
support. We believe that a dog recreation space not only benefits the
dogs of our community by providing a space for exercise and
socialization, but it also provides an incredible opportunity to bring
the human members of our neighborhood together in camaraderie and
unity. If this is approved, it will be the second city sanctioned
fenced dog recreation space in the City of Boston.
The full proposal is available at www.rodogrun.org for those
of you who wish to read it in advance of the hearing. We encourage
people to attend the hearing, and there will be an opportunity to speak
on our behalf. Feel free to contact me with any questions.
Start: 7:00 pm
End: 8:00 pm
The focus of this meeting will be to address the recent shootings in the area and maybe some prevention.

Human rights has emerged as a language and an organizing strategy for activists and advocates around the globe to challenge inequalities and propel social change. The assertion of human rights often serves as an alternative to rights grounded in nationality, gender, or social idnetity. Yet human rights as a framework, particularly as embodied
in international documents, has not always provided an effective
organizing tool for grassroots efforts and progressive organizers on
the ground. Some feel it is too rooted in technocratic approaches to
social change, some that it does not effectively capture grassroots
communities' struggles to gain power.
"Boston Human Rights: Ideas and Action" will bring together academics
and activists to explore the current state of human rfihts activism,
to push the boundraires of the human rights tradition, and to move
forward a human rights campaign in Boston that will actually work for
our communities. The conference is open to academics, activists,
boston-area organizers, and the general public.
Sponsors include: Mass Global Action, Mass-Care, Boston College
Sociology Dept., BC Center for Human Rights and International Justice,
Sociologists Without Borders, the Society for the Study of Social
Problems, and Mass Jobs With Justice

Performances and workshops from 2pm - 6pm
on Boston Common, with As You Like It at 8pm.
Celebrate Shakespeare Day is a free event presented by Citi
Performing Arts Center's Education Department.
Throughout July, community partner organizations in Cambridge,
Dorchester, Jamaica Plain and the South End held workshops
where participants discovered how enjoyable the world of theatre
can be. Through performing art skills building including theater
games, ensemble building, and original scene development,
participants became familiar with the story line and universal
themes of As You Like It. On Saturday, August 2nd, representatives
from each neighborhood along with area theatre companies such
as Huntington Theatre, will perform a showcase on the Boston
Common as part of Celebrate Shakespeare Day.
Celebrate Shakespeare Day includes fun for all ages, interests and activity levels. All are welcome to an afternoon
of free workshops, readings, and interactive games and activities culminating in an evening performance of
Commonwealth Shakespeare Company's As You Like It at 8pm at the Parkman Bandstand. Try your hand at
Shakespearaoke, die your most dramatic death, explore Elizabethan dance, use your best Shakespearean insult,
or simply watch our performances and enjoy a visit to the Town Square.

A Word about Winestein...
Say the words "wine expert" and the average person might think of someone snobbish, like television's Frasier Crane. But Albert Winestein owner Sean Martin, a down-to-earth son of Southie, is a million miles from Frasier and Niles.
The self-proclaimed home of "smart wine, simple cheese," Albert Winestein opened in December 2007. A. W. offers more than 150 different wine labels, along with several domestic and imported craft-brewed beers offered on a rotating basis. The shop also sells several rotating varieties of cheese, as well as fine chocolate bars.
Martin has a refreshing approach to the wine business: "I don't want to make it seem like I know more about wine than everybody else. We're not trying to intimidate anybody." But he does know his stuff, based on years of experience as a bartender, restaurateur, and wine broker (as well as science and phys. ed. teacher and fitness center owner).
Albert Winestein is located at 84 Fairmount Ave. in Hyde Park. They're open Tuesday - Saturday, 4:00 - 9:00 PM - tel. 617-333-6777.
