			<description><![CDATA[Following our enormous last daystravaganza this past Aug. 15, Summer in the City has officially gone into hibernation until 2009.

			<description><![CDATA[I have been working with Summer in the City throughout the whole summer.  Most days the work itself is rewarding, like seeing real progress in building a bench or bonding with a little kid.

			<description><![CDATA[Hi.  I'm Angela Maue.  I learned about Summer in the City through my mom.  She saw a write up in the newspaper about it and thought I would enjoy it.  Boy was she right! I really enjoy going to Summer in the City during the week.  It gives me something worthwhile to do.  I have had so much fun!
