S For Story/10551500
Co-chairs Charlotte Friedman and Andrea Honore, both of Princeton, NJ to lead "exciting era"
LAWRENCEVILLE, N.J. - s4story -- "People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos is entering an exciting era as we ramp up our 50th Anniversary celebrations led by a talented and engaged Board, experienced staff members, and meaningful partnerships," Executive Director Cheyenne B. Wolf said recently. People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos is ushering in new programs including a dynamic series of 50th Anniversary celebrations with community collaborations and partnerships.
Board and Staff Members
People & Stories / Gente y Cuentos' recently installed Board of Trustees include: Charlotte Friedman of Princeton, New Jersey, Co-Chair, Andrea Honore of Princeton, New Jersey, Co-Chair, Michael Aaron, Treasurer, Board Members at Large include: Alex Fajardo of Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Barbara Flythe of Lawrenceville, New Jersey, Bhaveen Jani, Susana Plotquin of Bordentown City, Mimi Schwartz of Princeton, New Jersey, and Keith Wheelock of Skillman, New Jersey
"We are celebrating 50 years since our Founder, Sarah Hirschman, started her program in a low-income housing project in Cambridge, MA with her informal invitation to young Latina women sitting on their stoops minding their children to participate in literary dialogue," Co-Chair Andrea Honore remarked recently. "People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos was founded on the idea of generosity and inclusivity and the legacy of Sarah's initial group is what we celebrate through our upcoming events."
According to Wolf, the organization's 50th anniversary milestone provides a unique opportunity for increased community engagement and relevance to a broader conversation about literature, civic duty, social justice, both past and present. "To aid in achieving these important goals, we are delighted that our staff has increased with the significant additions of Program Manager Maria Saiz and Communications Manager Debra Lampert-Rudman."
MARIA SAIZ, a native of Spain and current resident of Princeton, NJ, has been teaching Spanish in the United States for over twenty years at both the secondary and college levels. María learned about Gente y Cuentos in 2018 while searching for ways to leverage her experience as an educator to facilitate learning beyond the classroom. She has since led programs in both English and Spanish with varied groups in both virtual and in-person format. Her unique insights into the program and her life-long commitment to introducing new audiences to the joy and power of literature promise a bright future for People & Stories/Gente y Cuentos' programming under her leadership.

FALL PROGRAM HIGHLIGHTS & PARTNERSHIPS
"During our anniversary year, it's a thrill and honor to share opportunities for the public to experience the 'magic' behind our method, through collaborations with several local community organizations. In fact, our first anniversary event at the Trenton Public Library is especially fitting since it is the oldest library in New Jersey and situated right in the middle of our longest-served community. Plus, Benjamin Franklin is said to have purchased the library's first 50 books! We're so pleased to kick off our 50th Anniversary events at this historic location," Wolf noted.
