Youth in Action Meeting Reminder

This is a reminder that we will be having our 2nd Youth In Action meeting tomorrow, May 12 at 3:45pm in the conference room of the Historic Federal Building on 7th street in Moundsville. The first meeting was very prodcutive and we look to continue developing ideas for activities and events that will keep young adults busy during the summer. One of the reasons many local youth turn to alcohol and drugs is because they feel there is nothing to do around Marshall County. We hope to address this issue by creating fun things to do for the youth in our community thus making the choice to turn to substance abuse more difficult.

We look forward to seeing many of you at the meeting tomorrow and if you have any questions, please give us a call at 304-845-3300. Thanks, have a great day.
