<p>Word from Izzi Greenberg, head of the North End Action Team (NEAT) a group of community organizers who work in Middletown's North End, a poorer section of town -- but, also the location of, among other things, O'Rourke's Diner:</p>
<p>"On behalf of the North End Action Team, I also want to thank the many Wesleyan students who worked with our youth leadership group, the Teen Dream Society, to do door knocking and voter registration over the last few months and voter education on Election Day. The students were so inspiring to our North End kids and really helped spread enthusiasm and hope. The North End increased voter registrations from roughly 1200 at the beginning of the year to over 1700 yesterday, thanks in great part to the help of the Wes students. Additionally, the North End voter turnout went from an average of 20-30% to 70%!</p>
<p>Thank you especially to Lily Mandalin (’10) who has been working really hard weekly for the last year. </p>
<p>Congraulations to everyone and thank you so much!!
Izzi Greenberg
Executive Director"</p>
