Ouida F. Dawson, executive director of Head Start of Rockland, and Miriam Kahan, director of Spring Valley Head Start joined Jocelyn F. Ford, store manager of Barnes & Noble in Nanuet in announcing plans for a Holiday Book Drive to share the gift of literacy with low income children who attend Head Start preschool. The drive will be kicked off Saturday, November 1st at 1:00 p.m. with a reading by Jason Edwards, author of Will Allen and the Great Monster Detective, at the Barnes & Noble Bookstore at 140 Rockland Plaza in Nanuet.
Dawson said: “All of us at Head Start appreciate the thoughtfulness and generosity of Barnes & Noble staff in Nanuet picking our agency and our children to benefit from this wonderful holiday tradition. The gift of a book lasts a lifetime and puts a child on the road to love of reading and learning.”
Kahan added: “Spring Valley Head Start children, parents, and staff welcome this opportunity to partner with our neighbor, Barnes & Noble in Nanuet, in strengthening our literacy efforts and bringing each child we serve the gift of a treasured book this holiday season.
Ford noted: “Barnes & Noble distributed 1.16 million books to children nationwide last year and we hope to duplicate that success again this year. Our staff in Nanuet have made selections of books recommended for young children and young readers. We hope the entire community will be involved and make a gift for a child in need, a gift that can change a life.”
Peter Flierl, director of development at Head Start, said: “Having been raised by educators and lifetime readers, giving and receiving books was the highlight, the treasured gift in our home at Christmas and at birthdays. We welcome this generous approach to seasonal giving and sharing the gift of literacy by Barnes & Noble.”

WALK AND ROLL
The Rockland County Department of Health announces that it is not too late for residents to participate in the innovative stroller exercise and socialization program, Walk & Roll, at the Palisades Center that meets each Wednesday morning at 10 a.m.
In partnership with Good Samaritan Hospital and the Palisades Center, the Walk & Roll program is part of the WALK IT! mall walking program. Families with young children, ages birth to four, are invited to join Walk & Roll sessions to ‘Socialcise’ (socialize and exercise) as a key to a healthy lifestyle.
Participants gather each Wednesday morning at 10 a.m. in the H&M Court located on Level 1 of the Palisades Center. The program will continue through Wednesday, August 13, 2008, so there are still five more weekly sessions for interested families. Registration is not required so lace up and join us!
Each week features a mild exercise session involving a one-mile group walk around the mall, during which parents socialize with each other, and relevant nutrition and health information for both parents and their children is discussed. Participants in the program earn prizes just for walking. Attendance and participation at the remaining five weekly Walk & Roll sessions will guarantee parents or guardians one $20 gift card to the Palisades Center or to select stores located there, including Target and Macy’s among others.
Walk & Roll participants also receive access to monthly health and wellness programs offered at the mall, complimentary healthy refreshments for both adults and children, fun activities for children, time to socialize, and free giveaways and goodies. And don’t forget to allow some time for walking the mall, after all, you are already there… just WALK IT!
The Palisades Center offers two miles of an indoor climate-controlled environment, plenty of window shopping, entertainment, child play areas, and more, making the center an excellent place to be physically active. Open for walkers from 6 a.m., Monday – Saturday, and 8 a.m. on Sunday, the Palisades Center is accessible at almost any time of the day, rain or shine.
For more information about the Walk & Roll program or Walk It! call the Department of Health at 845-364-2500 or the Palisades Center at 845-348-1000.

UNITED WAY - YOU'RE THE TOP!
Ouida Dawson and I had the privilege of representing Head Start at You’re the Top!, the United Way of Rockland Recognition Breakfast held at Good Samaritan Hospital. The highlight of the morning was a talk by Pamela Floyd, an English teacher at Rockland Community College and a recipient of services from the Association for Visually Impaired. Pamela is virtually blind and an imposing figure at over six feet tall. Her talk brought back memories of my own study of American and English literature. She is a reminder that any challenge is an opportunity for growth. It is either in Japanese or Chinese that the word for opportunity and disaster are the same. She concluded with a message from James Joyce in Finnegan’s Wake about the power and impact of casual kindness of strangers.
Among the innumerable awards presented were the largest corporate donor won by Orange & Rockland’s 1,100 employees with total giving of $275,000 for an average gift of $250. There were 19 top corporate campaigns, each of which raised $10,000 or more. For Head Start, this would require 100% participation and an average gift of $66.66 or $1.28 a week. If each staff member were to do without a single cup of coffee each week, Head Start could reach that level of giving.
The top nonprofit campaign was won by Meals on Wheels of Rockland, while the highest percentage increase at 30% was won by HSBC. If any of you have participated in team sports, you know you like to win. I hope we will challenge ourselves this Fall and strive to increase our level of giving and our percentage of participation. For example, a 35% increase would make us a contender, if not a winner. If you gave $10 last time around, this is just a $13.50 gift. We can do this!
Among the tips we picked up from those who did well this year were:
* An internal slogan contest for our United Way campaign.
* A breakfast to kick off our drive.
* One-on-One contact by campaign leaders, your colleagues.
* Meetings at each site on the campaign.
* Presentations by other United Way member agencies to our staff.
We are hoping to put together a team to lead our United Way Campaign this Fall. If you’d like to help, please e-mail pflierl@headstartofrockland.org or give me a call at 845-358-2234 or 203-273-5168. Thank you for your support. And do send some suggestions for our slogan!
