Community Service Update

Tuesday, August 19th, 2008

I serve as the “adult sponsor” for the Norfolk (Nebraska) Youth Leadership Council.  This is a youth service organization made up of about 20 high school students representing all three of the high schools in Norfolk.  Sunday evening, the Christian bookstore in Norfolk had a “back to school parking lot event” (sorry, the exact title has dropped from my mind).  There were bands, food, booths and NYLC ran kids games. 

People ask me why I donate my time, when I already have a full plate.  To understand my motivation, all you would have to have done is to be there when the fathers of a “bunch” of kids came up to me and shook my hand and thanked “us” for “being so nice”.  It is such a pleasure to be associated with a fine bunch of young people who want to help the community.

As a sidebar, when was the last time you saw a bunch of teenagers pushing the state legislature for HARSHER penalties for those who supply alcohol to minors?  that is a project NYLC has taken upon its self…. 

Take care one and all.
