summer sports camp to start in San Leandro
Oakland Tribune, Jun 15, 2007 by Martin Ricard SAN LEANDRO -- Every summer, Randy Olson and Debbie Harris feel a little discomfort when they hear kids say there's nothing to do. The thought of kids lacking places to go because they say they don't feel connected to their community, however, makes them even more determined to do something about it. Late last year, Olson, a campus security guard and girls basketball coach at San Leandro High, and Harris, an aide to severely disabled students at the school, started a foundation to give youths low-cost activities over the summer. The foundation is launching its first sports camp later this month at John Muir Middle School. (more) |
