Trofiles’ runs away with style
Good Neighbors flaunt fashion for funds
By Adam Klinker
Staff Reporter
Lincoln’s Good Neighbor
Community Center is getting ready
for a night on the catwalk - and some
UNL students are going to be there
strutting their stuff.
Sunday at 6 p.m., the center will
hold a fund-raising fashion show to
raise money for the center’s improve
ment programs.
“Profiles ’97” will feature a wide
line of vintage clothing from the
l i
1930s and 1940s as well as a variety
of contemporary and cultural
wardrobes, Rita Chen-Brown, the
center’s director, said. Student tickets
range in price from $20 to $25, and
can be bought today and Saturday.
The show will be at the Comhusker
Hotel, 333 S. 13th St.
Taking on the modeling duties
will be six theater arts and dance stu
dents from University of Nebraska
Lincoln’s College of Fine and
Performing Arts. “We’re starting to
get the word out, and interest from
students has been tremendous,”
Chen-Brown said.
In addition to assisting with the
fashion show, UNL students have
also given their time to helping the
center’s tutoring and mentoring pro
gram, Operation Kids. The program
is run by AmeriCorps, a nationwide
service organization.
The center’s program is headed by
Adam Fletcher, a former UNL stu
dent. His work focuses on teaching
English as a second language to
young Arabian immigrants in
Lincoln, most specifically Iraqi and
Kurdish children. He said 15 youths,
from second-graders to high school
freshmen, are taking the course.
The children meet after school
and get a chance to improve their
English reading and speaking skills,
as well as social skills.
Suzanne Prenger, a junior ele
mentary education and ESL major,
served with the center and Operation
Kids last semester as well as this
summer.
“I loved it. I thought it was a great
experience for me because I got to
experience another part of Lincoln’s
culture,” she said.
Although not currently involved,
Prenger hopes to continue her work
with the center soon.
Chen-Brown said the center
always is looking for student volun
teers to help with distribution of food
and clothing. Fletcher added that as
an incentive for student volunteerism,
AmeriCorps offers scholarships. He
said serving 1,700 hours can net a
$5000 scholarship from the company.
He said that about 40 UNL students
are involved with the Center’s
AmeriCorps branch.
“The work is great,” Fletcher said.
“I am in some of the most intensive
work you can have, and working at
the Good Neighbor Center is a great
experience.”
