Community Bulletin Board

The artwork of Carissa Natalewicz of Brick, a student at Lake Riviera Middle School, is featured in The New Jersey Association of Realtors (NJAR) 2004 "Housing for All" calendar. The calendar displays the artwork of 13 students from throughout New Jersey. Students in grades three to six entered the contest by submitting a drawing with a fair housing theme. The intention of the theme is to spread the message that everyone deserves safe, clean and affordable housing, according to 2003 NJAR President Christina Clemans.

The full-color calendar, created by NJAR’s Equal Opportunity/Cultural Diversity Committee, costs $5 including sales tax. All of the proceeds from the calendar will be donated to Habitat for Humanity.
