The Echoheads rock the high school auditorium

The staff of the Runaway and Homeless Youth program organized an event for teens here in Parkersburg that was held last evening. They are holding (at least) monthly positive youth activities (mostly here at our facility), but last night they branched out and had an event at the Parkersburg High School auditorium. A local band (which happens to be made up of 3 out of 4 of its members being Gustke Shelter employees!) performed their original songs in the "heavy metal/ rock" genre. It was a smallish crowd, but enthusiastic none the less. They have some great musical talent. We keep encouraging Jim and Lisa that they are on the right track, building up this concept of positive youth alternatives.
