MUSIC FUN FEST TO BENEFIT GREATER MEREDITH CAREER PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
The First Annual Music
Fun Fest To Benefit the Ca- reer Partnership Program will be held at Mame’s Restaurant in Meredith, Thursday, May 28th, from 6-10pm. Held in the upstairs
lounge and function room, it will be a great night of music and fun and half the proceeds from meals sold that evening will go to benefit this important program. The Career Partnership Program is a public/pri- vate partnership between the Greater Meredith Pro- gram and The Interlakes School District. “The Partnership Pro-
gram really started as just an idea about six years ago,” said Chris Kelly who sits on the board of the Greater Meredith Program. “We wanted to find a way to make a connection between businesses and students at Interlakes.” The idea has developed
into a very successful pro- gram which provides in- ternships, job shadows, volunteer opportunities and job fairs for summer employment. To date, it is estimated that it has af- fected five hundred or more students. “One of our goals is to
inspire students to go out into the world, get educat- ed and come back to serve the community,” said the Programs Director, Rhonda Hanaway. “Besides the job and intern opportuni- ties, we’ve also had guest speakers, people who left to learn and become suc- cessful in careers and then came back to the area.” “The program was ini-
tially helped off the ground by the Greater Meredith Program,” said Kelly. “To- day it is flourishing on its own with the support of businesses, the town and fundraising.” “We have received great
state accolades,” said Han- away. “The idea has grown to the point where other schools are turning to us

for ideas in helping them start a program of their own like this.” Events like the Music
Fun Fest are also impor- tant in keeping it economi- cally viable. The idea for the Music
Fun Fest first came from musicians who perform at Mame’s. “We wanted to have an
event where we could all perform on the same night so we could showcase our music and also bring peo- ple into Mame’s,” said Ju- lia Velie who is a singer, songwriter and guitarist. “We thought that it would
make for a good fundrais- ing event.” “They kind of came up
with the idea on their own,” said John Cook, owner of Mame’s. “I’m also on the board of the Greater Meredith Program and I thought it would be perfect to have it benefit the Part- nership Program and also help bring more awareness to it.” Cook is going to donate
half of dinner sales for all who attend the Fun Fest to the Partnership Program. Music will, of course, be an integral part of the See FUN FEST on 12
