[Fredslist] Dreams Fulfilled Concert at Carnegie Hall

[JanPresent at aol.com]

To all the wonderful angels of Gotham, here, there and everywhere:
 
Following is a letter written by Louis Yungling. Please take the time to  
read it from start to finish.The letter is self-explanatory. Louis is presenting  
a concert at Carnegie Hall on June 2nd, the proceeds of which will directly  
benefit The High School for Leadership & Public Service. Louis has paid all  
the expenses himself. Every penny raised will go to Fred's and my favorite  
charity. I am asking each of you to get behind this project. We need to sell 280  
seats. The details are all outlined below. Please purchase a ticket if  you 
are able, or perhaps send  a contribution. 
 
After all, a $50 contribution can buy two seats for two kids who would  
otherwise not be able to attend. We can achieve $20-$40,000 if we work together.  
It will buy lots of "stuff" to further enrich our school.
 
Please help us to make this Dreams Fulfilled Concert a  reality.
 
Thanks and hugs:
 
JWP

Dear Friend, 
I have recently been inspired by a small New York  City high school and have 
begun a mission to help the young people of this  school attain success, 
happiness and become life-long learners. As an educator,  I know students can 
flourish when given the proper tools. As a pianist, I know  the proper tools extend 
beyond books. Both joy and inspiration can be found  
through music. That is why I have created a special concert on June 2, 2005  
to benefit these very special students. The High School for Leadership and  
Public Service has caught my attention because it employs a variety of unique  
programs to encourage each student to reach his or her potential. As the name  
implies students focus on community, service and leadership- important 
qualities  for our future leaders. Students travel from all five boroughs to the 
school  located in downtown Manhattan and they represent a wide academic range. 
The  High School for Leadership and Public Service was created in 1993 
through a  unique partnership with the renowned Maxwell School of Citizenship and 
Public  Affairs at Syracuse University. While the college helped develop the 
school  curriculum and provides interns, many of the school’s programs come from 
outside  sources. A core group of individuals 
called the Friends of the High School  for Leadership and Public Service do 
much of the work along with the high school  faculty. 
 
 
 

One of the most influential programs to date has been the Syracuse  
University Mentor-Mentee Alliance. It is the first and largest one-to-one mentor  
program of its kind and now serves as a model for other colleges and  universities 
that wish to create mentoring programs. A host of other programs,  
scholarships, and workshops are brought to Leadership with the intent of helping  the 
students grow into well-rounded individuals. Top students have an  opportunity to 
attend Syracuse University Summer College free of charge. Others  are elected 
to attend leadership camps over the summer. The library has been  recently 
overhauled with up-to-date materials. A weekly literacy program tutors  those 
who need assistance. Dictionaries and calculators are given annually.  Beyond 
academics are theatre trips, new clubs and teams, and music classes. The  list 
goes on and on. The results have been huge. Students have attended  prestigious 
colleges and universities such as Cornell, Columbia, Temple, Penn  State, 
Pace, Utica, NYU, and Fordham as well as many other state and city  colleges and 
of course quite a few attend Syracuse University. Many earn  scholarships 
while others have seen a vast improvement in their grades. They  come back to tell 
us what a difference these programs have made. Having a  mentor, receiving 
extra help, exposure to the arts all have made an impact. 

I recognize it takes time, effort and monetary resources to fund these  tools 
and programs. That is why I have arranged a special concert combining two  of 
my passions - helping others and music. This concert is unlike any other.  
I've assembled a roster of talented musicians who have generously and lovingly  
donated their time and talent. Best of all, the concert will take place in the 
 world famous Weil Recital Hall at Carnegie Hall. 

I am expanding my love for people through fund raising for an  institution 
that shares my mission to help children, to help others build lives  they love, 
and to spread love and support to all people. I would like to ask you  to 
support this wonderful institution of learning and attend this extraordinary  
event. All proceeds are tax deductible and will go to The High School for  
Leadership and Public Service. Your donation would mean so much to the students. 

Thank you very much for your time and consideration. 
Sincerely,  
Louis Yungling
