CSU justice studies lecturer 'does time' to help youth
1 JANUARY 2003
A Charles Sturt University (CSU) justice studies lecturer will be locked up in a Bathurst shopping centre as part of the Time 4 Kids campaign to raise awareness and funds for youth intervention programs operated by the local Police-Citizen Youth Club (PCYC). Dr Diane Solomon-Westerhuis from the School of Humanities and Social Sciences in Bathurst will be temporarily detained in the Bathurst City Centre shopping complex from 1pm to 2pm on Thursday 15 April and is seeking donations for her $500 ‘bail’ to assist the Time 4 Kids program as part of National Youth Week, which runs from 10 to 18 April. Dr Solomon-Westerhuis said, “Time 4 Kids and similar programs can be significant turning points in young people's lives, giving them opportunities they may not otherwise experience. The hard-working PCYC volunteers and staff are to be congratulated for putting in the effort to promote Time 4 Kids, so we should give as much as we can to support them - and to get me out on bail!” Contact Dr Solomon-Westerhuis on (02) 6338 4648 to pledge your support to raise her ‘bail’, or contact Bathurst PCYC manager Mr Matt Brealey on (02) 6331 2191 or 0407 226 202. All donations are tax deductible.
