In preparation for the 3oth anniversary celebration of the Shelter I intend to post a few little bits of history. Here is a list of the original incorporators of the Mid Ohio Valley Regional Youth Services Corporation. This was the organization which operated the shelter from 1979-1992.

Samuel Barron
R.L. Rogers
Scott Durig
Thomas Kulik
William Powell
George W. Burge
Ruth Barry
Lyndall Jones
Genevieve Heermans
Terry Tamburini
Robert Nutter

We will be having some of the original documents of the corporation at the event on Feb. 27th at the Parkersburg Country Club, and encourage folks to spread the word if any of the above people have not heard about the event, to come and reminisce about the founding of the organization.
