Over 100 young people from
B.M.C. Durfee High School, Bishop Connolly High School, Diman Regional
High School and Kuss, Henry Lord, Morton and Talbot Middle Schools gathered at White's Restaurant for the Sixth
Annual Youth Summit. Mayor Robert Correia and
Cynthia Loesch of Family, Inc. addressed the assembled youth.
Participants then broke into five groups, each taking one of the five
America's Promise issues and talked about what is or is not getting done
in each area. Groups were then challenged to come up with short-term and
long-term action steps and to illustrate them using "Freeze Frames" for
the rest of the group.
