On behalf of our 2006 Gala Chairman, Dr. Peter Slavin, our Board of Directors, Staff and Customers, I sincerely thank you for makin gour 14th Annual Awards Gala a great success! Aproximately 1,000 people attended the gala and were informed about our programs and inspired by our award recipients. Your generous donaton of a $50 Furniture Gift Certificate helped us raise $436,000 for our programs and services!
For 89 years, the Urban League of Eastern Massachusetts (ULEM) has made important connections with children, adults, and seniors in the Greater Boston Area who share our understanding of the importance of education and employment opportunities and how they become critical to a life of self-sufficiency. Currently, the ULEM offers employment and professional skills training; computer testing and training; public access to our technology center and advocacy on social issues affecting public policy. We also offer Parent and Youth Services, Diversity Career Fairs and free access to our BostonWorks Career Center.
Please mark your calendar for our special 90th Anniversary Gala scheduled for April 21, 2007. Again, thank you for your friendship and we hope that you will support us next year.
Sincerely,
Darnell L. Williams
