Hot Friday Nights In July Kick-Off Results Announced
Teen Entertainment’s “Hot Fri­

E n tertain m en t P ro d u ctio n s, “ Im ­
ag e” is also essen tial to the s u c ­
cess o f our youth.
"Hot Friday Nights in July” is a
six-phase pilot project put together to
offer teens in grades 9 through 12, the
opportunity to engage in a social ac­
tivity that encourages safety in mak­
ing the right choice of how to spend
their free time. We are promoting
image awareness, enhancing social
grace and just plain strengthening the
hearts and minds o f other youths
through evening events of dancing
and entertainment.
This fundraising event is pur­
posed to raise monies for the Colum­
bia Boys and Girls Club to clothe
disadvantaged youth in our commu­
nity, as well as make a youth feel good
about him/herself. Our goal is to raise
over $3,000 which in our calculation
would enable us to purchase 150 pairs
of shoes.
The primary sponsor of this event
is Minute Maid, a Coca Cola product.
Which by the way, comments regard­
ing the taste of the new product that
was introduced “Fruitopia” which
comes in six different flavors was the
topic of conversation among youth as
well as adults. “This juice is good!”
