From the Director
Dr. Betty McGee

I want to extend my special appreciation to all those who have shared in our vision for the future, especially those who have contributed many volunteer hours and hard work. HERC's Executive Committee has provided outstanding leadership, helping design and implement positive organizational change.

Our vision continues to emerge as we progress. HERC is now networked and provides the availability of Internet services. You may request information, apply for internships, and more through this Web Site. The Resource Center continues to serve the community and has issued field trip invitations to all the schools and childcare centers in Bayview Hunters Point.

I invite you to browse our web site and tell us what you think. We look forward to serving you and our community in the weeks and months to come!
