Haze: Documentary Film Screening
Written by EricaG on 04/03/2013
Wednesday, April 3rd from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m.
Produced by the Gordie Foundation, Haze not only tells the tragic story of Greenwich, CT native Lynn Gordon Bailey Jr. ("Gordie") but weaves together a collection of interviews by many national experts on the subject of alcohol abuse. This documentary was created with the intent of placing a focus on the issues of binge drinking, alcohol laden hazing rituals, and rapid fire drinking games -- all common in a campus environment.
Registration is FREE and recommended.
Followed by a short Q&A session featuring three Task Force members:
- Amanda Romaniello, LPC, Family Centers
- Jamie Roach Murray, MD, FAAP, Pediatrician
- James Palmieri, DHS Resource Officer
Email pa@ywcadariennorwalk.org with questions.
Presented by Darien Library Community Room, YWCA Parent Awareness, Darien Library, Thriving Youth and Family Centers.

The Top Ten Secrets Teens Should Know Before Applying for College
Written by EricaG on 01/10/2013
On Thursday, January 24th at 7PM join Annette Bosley-Boyce, author of The College Success Plan for the top ten secrets teens and their parents should know before Applying for college. Did you know only 36% of college students’ graduate from college within four years? Did you know a majority of college students agree to student loan terms that will last for the next 20 to 30 years of their adult lives? In this library discussion, Annette Bosley-Boyce, author of The College Success Plan, will explain unknown facts, tips, and strategies to help teens and their parents develop a realistic and beneficial plan before applying for college--one that inspires teens to set goals for themselves on career planning and college financing. By the end of this class, teens will have developed a new shift in thinking. Instead of feeling honored because they were selected by a college, they will realize that it's the college that should feel honored about being selected. This program is recommended for high school sophomores, juniors, and seniors and their parents. This presentation will take place in the community room of the Library. For more information contact Teen Librarian, Erica Gauquier at egauquier@darienlibrary.org or (203) 669-5225.
*There will be a book signing following the program.
