I would love to invite the young people with whom my colleague and I work. The invitation speaks to what a youngster need to be a part of the Junior counsel but does not discuss what a young person might gain from such an experience. Would you send to the email address listed below a listing of the activities of a junior council person as well as the benefits of that kind of community involvement. I really want to sell the idea of service to others.

It would be good if this program would explain to the young council people the way to impact policy and how to impact House Bills that affect issues in Norristown. This is a great experience. I know because..Greg Scott was my Jr Councilperson and ended up working as the right hand of a Congressman! Very proud of Greg!

Maybe the teens could run the borough. Couldn't hurt!
