HCHY List: Re: HCHYlist Digest, Vol 89, Issue 1

[Tim Duffey]

Congratulations to everyone in Hampton on the launch of your Teen Center!!
Your years of hard work have paid off. Hampton serves as a "Shining Star
Example" of how to effectively mobilize young people through civic
engagement. Really inspirational to us all!

Thanks, Barbara for passing it along!
