Career Day at the Summer Program of the Mid Town Family Resource Center

The second Career Day was held on Friday, July 30th, as part of the Mid Town Family Resource Center’s Summer Youth Program. The program was attended by 18 youth, four from the Gustke Shelter and 14 from the Summer Youth Program. Guest speakers included Jodi Smith, WVU Extension Agent; Sgt. Anthony Spence, U.S. Army; Stacy O’Dell, DHHR Child Protective Service Worker; Eileen Filozof, PhD, Health and Wellness Instructor; Laurie Andell, Teacher; and David Danner, a former Tow Boat worker. Two firemen from the local station also came to speak and show the students the fire truck. Within the first five minutes of their presentation, they were required to answer a call and had to leave. The kids were disappointed to miss the tour of the truck but were thrilled to see the firemen leave with, lights flashing and sirens wailing! Refreshments were served to those attending and the afternoon was enjoyed by all.
