Dear Friends,
On August 20, 2007 Charter on the Beach opened its doors to 54 middle school children in white and green polo shirts. I was so excited to see this dream of mine become a reality. I can truly say it is incredible to be where I am at today. These 54 children represent every segment of society as it is with the population in Miami Beach. It is interesting and exciting to see them come together as a community and get to know each other and trust each other. That is what we are promoting here, a safe, nurturing learning environment where children can grow and learn.

Our building has not passed inspection, we had some delays and setbacks, these setback have cost us thousands of dollars, time and effort. The children are currently attending class at an alternative site. They are troopers and look forward to having class in their building.
This weekend we will be having another round of clean-up and final touches. Things still needed to be done include:
1. garbage pick up
2. lawn work
3. putting up lights in bathrooms
4, cleaning classrooms
5. cleaning windows
6. cleaning bathrooms
7. some carpentry work on some doors
If anyone is available this weekend at anytime we will be working away to get this place ready for the children.
In addition to helping with your hands, if anyone can contribute any type of monetary donation it would be greatly appreciated. Our expenses have been high and in order to finish this project we are looking at an additional $12,000.00 in expenses. Any amount of money would help, we are a 501c3 tax exempt non-profit corporation. Please this is an amazing place for children to learn for generations to come, if you can help with any type of donation. Pass this on to your friends and ask them to contribute to this cause.
I want to thank you all once again, for your support in the past and know that you are all a part of this.
Thank you,
Gladys Palacio
