HISTORIC NEW BRIDGE LANDING FUNDRAISER
Thanks to Kevin Wright at the Steuben House at Historic New Bridge Landing for hosting the current LEADS class, as well as the LEADS Class of 2011, giving them a fascinating look at history during the Opening Retreat.
Relying entirely upon volunteer contributions, the Bergen County Historical Society is currently raising $350,000 to construct a first-rate museum building and library on the Society's property at Historic New Bridge Landing. This museum building will be built to replicate an eighteenth century Dutch barn, so as to visually complement the landmark stone houses while providing a proper museum environment for thousands of irreplaceable artifacts and documents of our past. Each object gives meaning to a memorable moment in Bergen County's remarkable transition from colonial frontier to one of the America's most diverse and prosperous suburban counties.www.bergencountyhistory.org
TEEN LEADERSHIP CONFERENCE
FRIDAY, MARCH 16, 2012
JCC, TENAFLY
On March 16, 2012, the Teen Leadership Conference will be held at the JCC in Tenafly, NJ. Conference planning is supported by the ZONE, Englewood Youth in Action, and the JCC.
The purpose of the conference is to empower young people to take action in their community. Teens will work in collaboration with community leaders to learn and to develop effective strategies for engaging in social change.
The conference is organized like any other professional conference, except that is entirely planned and hosted by local teenagers. Last year 25 teenagers from 7 different area schools organized/facilitated a conference that drew more than 170 area high school students.

Thank you Bergen LEADS! Pat Schuber, Lynne Algrant and Pastor Eric Brewer were among the many local community leaders who helped make our first conference a great success. We are again looking to LEADS graduates and other community stakeholders to help young people reach their full potential as leaders and change makers in the community in 2012.
