Teens Honored for Dedication to Special-Needs Peers

Westport News

On June 5, nearly 200 teens from the Fairfield County area will be honored by The Friendship Circle for the dedication they have shown to their peers with special needs throughout this past year.

The Friendship Circle, according to its Web site, www.friendshipct.org, gives “helping hands to families who have children with special needs and involves them in a full range of social and Jewish experiences.”

The program also works in collaboration with its parent organization, Chabad Lubavitch of Fairfield County, which is a Jewish outreach program based out of Stamford and Westport.

A Children’s Museum Grows in Brooklyn

Gothamist

Residents in the heart of Crown Heights are watching Rafael Vinoly’s Brooklyn Children’s Museum renovation take shape one stud at a time. When we visited the construction site at the northwest corner of Brower Park yesterday, the L-shaped steel frame was up and the concrete floor was firmly set.

The $62 million project – to be completed in late 2007 – is also the city’s first green museum. (It was the “first museum designed especially for children”). Think 300-foot-deep geothermal wells (for heating and cooling), photovoltaic panels (for electricity), carbon dioxide and body heat sensors (for monitoring exhibition spaces) and renewable materials like cork, rubber, recycled carpet and, yes, bamboo.
