Neighborhood Networks Week 2007

The LANCE Center is "Connecting Residents to Opportunities" by celebrating
Neighborhood Networks Week 2007 June 25-30
Every day at Neighborhood Networks centers across the United States, residents are discovering that opportunities surround them. Employment opportunities. Academic opportunities. Life-enriching opportunities.
To pay tribute to the individuals who connect residents with opportunities, and to honor those individuals who have seized the opportunities they have found with the help of a Neighborhood Networks center, Neighborhood Networks Week 2007 will showcase the vital role centers play in connecting residents to opportunities.
