CHICAGO, IL (May 30, 2001) - Adrienne Edlen, a member of Ravenswood Covenant Church, has accepted the position as executive director of the newly formed Ravenswood Community Daycare, Inc. She will begin her duties in June.

Edlen, a director in human services at Harold Washington College in Chicago since 1997, currently manages a grant-funded training and education program for approximately 300 students working in child development. She also lectured on child development for the college while working three years as a site coordinator for Hug-a-Book, Inc., a literacy program.

Ravenswood Community Daycare, Inc. is a partnership between Ravenswood Covenant Church, Amundsen High School and Ravenswood Hospital.
