Sesame Flyers International Parent Council Program
The Parent Council is made up of parents who volunteer their
time and efforts to provide fundraising activities to
supplement the expenses incurred with the community
activities at the Winthrop Beacon III Community Center. In
addition, the Council also sponsors and support additional
programs and activities suited to the needs of the
community. This year the council is sponsoring four drumming
classes, one dance class, two chorus classes and an intra
league Beacon Basketball and Soccer Tournament.
One of the programs introduced in June 2001, entitled " The
Bridging Of The Gap Between Youths And Seniors In The
Community " was developed to strengthen the generation gap
that exists amongst the two ages groups. The Center for
Nursing and Rehabilitation, located in Crown Heights,
Brooklyn, was the first establishment selected to
participate in the program. At CNR, ten (10) youths, under
the supervision of a member of the Parents Council
volunteered two (2) hours every Saturday for five (5) months
in providing assistance under the direction of the Director
Of Recreational Activities where needed. A on site program
was implemented in July 2001, whereas, fifteen (15) youths
teamed up with parents and seniors on Friday evenings to
participate in a variety of activities with the elderly such
as jewelry making, cake and floral decoration, household
decor and creations with yam and material. The program was a
success. The Awards Dinner compliments the Winthrop Beacon
III youths and seniors for their dedication and commitment
to our program.
The Parent Council would like to extend a special thanks to
everyone that supported our program this year and our warm
felt wishes for years to come. To our guests, we that each
of you for support and presence and we ask for your
continued support to our program throughout the years and
thereafter.

In short, my views of the programs at the Beacons are that they are fun,
