May 02, 2015 News

The Linden Dream Team, the youth arm of the Linden Fund USA, will be staging 10 spontaneous activities in addition to their regular ones as they celebrate ten years of service to the community of Linden.
According to Chairperson, Donette Adams, the Dream team had at one time merged with the parent body, Linden Fund USA, but separated from it four years ago.
Adams said that preparations for the Linden Town Week begin in November with an Essay competition for all public Secondary Schools in Linden. In April the winners are awarded.
Adams noted that the essay competition is to get students active in writing and to help prepare them for their CXC. The first place winner received a laptop, the second place received a tablet and the third place received a bicycle.
Each participant received a certificate and a gift bag. She also mentioned that in August of every year there is a free book fair for the whole community of Linden.
On Thursday the Dream Team will be hosting a Day of Sports for the Disabled at the Christianburg ground so that they can be confident in themselves. One family will also receive a food hamper.
Last Monday, 22 hampers were given away to less fortunate families.
Vice Chairperson, Samantha Austin, said that they have also decided to sponsor the CXC fees for five students next year, and those students names were pulled from a bag.
The Dream Team also will be hosting a senior Citizen’s luncheon for 250 citizens and each will be receiving a gift bag and two hampers will be given away to two lucky senior citizen.
On the list of 10 spontaneous activities is the donation of two baby kits to the first two babies born at the Linden Hospital Complex on Friday. The last two of the ten spontaneous activities are 1) they have sponsored the Linden Track Club and 2) they have chosen a family in Wismar who is without electricity and they have restored electricity to the home and will be paying for it for six months.
Adams noted that to end the list of activities for the Town Week is the Colours Party on Friday night at the Christianburg Ground under the theme ‘Neon bright’ with the slogan ‘Flashing light, what a sight, Rip the one way with your Neon bright.’
