LEAD
Story: The Franklin Grand Isle LEAD team waves Red Flags
and Resources
The
2007-08 LEAD Team #1 has just completed a major project,
the publication of a local resource guide geared to
parents of adolescents. This booklet, entitled "Red
Flags & Resources: Northwestern Vermont Edition,"
is modeled on a guide published in Eastern Massachusetts.
This guide promises to be a valued resource for parents,
health and human service professionals, and adolescents
themselves. Thank you, LEAD team members Sally Bortz,
Lori Jordan, Laura Lussier, Sam Stygles, Dee Boudreau,
and Jeff Young. Many thanks also to the LEAD committee
and especially outgoing Franklin Grand Isle United Way
Executive Director Jeff Moreau for their support of
this valuable endeavor. Please contact Sally Bortz at
the United Way (527-7418) or Beth Crane/Cindy Cook (527-5049)
to obtain copies.
