This Week's Program

Ed introduced our quest speaker, Mr Wade Randolph who talked to us about "How do we save our children?". Wade counsels parents and youth who are "At risk" of becoming out of control and headed for didaster. The bottom line is that parents and grandparents need to be loving, caring, role models and spend more time WITH the kids in positive activities.
