Dei Quoted in Article about Proposed Sanford Center

Marshall County Family Resource Network executive director (and member of the Marshall County Anti-Drug Coalition) was quoted extensively in an article in Monday's Wheeling News-Register about the proposed Sanford Center.

The Marshall County Board of Education could give the former Sanford School, which closed in June, to the City of Moundsville so that a community center could be located there. It's up for a vote in the City Council later this month. If it is approved, then a nonprofit board could be assembled to run the center.

"There is a lot of benefit to this. It could be used for so many things: Senior sewing lessons, after-school programs and many other activities," Dei told News-Register reporter Art Limann. "Right now there is no other place for people to go in this city for these types of activities."

She added: "This is a situation the city will not have again. I think you have to take a chance sometimes."
