YOUTH LEADERSHIP PROGRAM’S AMBITIOUS
PROJECT
It was a
great idea developed by several members of the Logan County Chamber of Commerce
and with the unwavering support of both school system superintendents Youth Leadership Logan was created and
has been an unequivocal success.Still, even with all the accolades so far, the group of sophomores from Logan County and Russellville high schools has gone far above what anyone would have thought with their ambitious project this year.
The Youth
Leadership Program has decided to do a can food drive as their community
project. The drop off locations will be the Family Resource Centers at
Russellville and Logan County high schools.
The drive
will begin in Dec. 1, 2015 through Feb. 5, 2016. There will also be drop
box locations in the lobby of each high school during the Clash of the Cats
games in January and February. Please help these students reach their
goal of 1,500 cans or non-perishable food items. All food collected will
help local food banks restock after the Holiday rush.
Though the
students come from rival schools, in just a few minutes earlier this month they
came together to draft a plan that will help many.
Let’s all
make plans to spread the word about the project and make plans to give to a
cause.
We should
all be proud we belong to a Chamber that supports such a group of teens and be
proud to live in a place with so much potential for our future.

TOURISM NETWORKING LUNCH HAS BIG
CROWD
It was hard

asking yourself, “I don’t live in Russellville and I have no idea what a
