Thanks, Junior League of Syracuse!
The Jenna Foundation for Non-Violence was named, along with the Emergency Shelter and Day Care programs of Salvation Army, and the Somali/Bantu Refugee Community as three local non-profits to benefit from the annual “WHALE” (Women Helping Agencies Locate Essentials) project, sponsored by The Junior League of Syracuse, Inc., an organization committed to promoting voluntarism, developing the potential of women, and to improving the community through the effective action and leadership of trained volunteers.
More than $500 worth of office supplies, items needed for the “Mentors for Jenna” program and gift cards were donated – a significant investment in the Jenna Foundation’s mission to build a safer community for us all.
Many thanks also to First English Church of James Street in Syracuse, for the use of its facilities on the donations pick-up day, Saturday, April 26, 2008.

Mentors for Jenna Sponsorships
Available for 2008-09 School Year
Corcoran High School mentor Julio Chanelo (right) works with 5th grade students during a Spring, 2007 visit to Van Duyn Elementary School.
The Mentors for Jenna program is now embedded within the Syracuse City School District and in need of your support more than ever. We are making a difference. During the 2006-07 school year, two hundred high school mentors connected with more than eight hundred 5th grade students to teach a curriculum in non-violence and serve as role models.
As we continue to grow and touch more lives, support from our community is crucial for the survival of this important program. Beginning with the 2007-08 school year, sponsorships of each elementary school that participates in “Mentors for Jenna” will be available at the $5,000 level, annually.
This significant contribution to our program, and the future of our elementary students, will be publicly recognized in a variety of ways, from media contacts to newsletters and program T-shirts. We want to get the word out about your investment in our mission to build a safer community for us all. Call (315) 422-0339 for more information, or send your email inquiry to info@jennafoundation.org.
Many Thanks to the Businesses & Individuals
who became Sponsors during 2007-08 :
Dr. Robert Druger • Mrs. Faye Panasci
The Galloo Foundation • The Geddes Family

ARTICLE HIGHLIGHT
"Executive Notes" by Janice Grieshaber, Executive Director
It hardly seems possible that, as of November 6th, 2007, Jenna had been gone for ten long years. It seems like yesterday. It seems like a hundred years ago. And now, this year, we realize the tenth year of the mentoring program established in her name and feel the same shock. How can that much time have passed? How can we have seen that many children play our games and learn our lessons – we hope.
We hope. It’s all about hope. There is no way to know how many children and how many mentors actually absorb the messages of the lessons. We can only hope that they do and that we change the thinking and thus the lives of some of the children who are mentors and mentees. That’s our goal, to change everyone involved in this program, even the adults who provide oversight.
