Area Students Attend Summit
Youth With Vision (YWV) members from across the Northland attended the group’s first-ever Root Beer Summit held Aug. 29.
The Summit was held to inform the community about the health, legal and safety consequences related to underage drinking. In addition, the group introduced attendees to some of the related legislation the youth are working to get passed, such as the banning of alcohol in the Missouri State Capitol.
YWV members and high school students (top right, foreground) were Allie Mayes (left), Smithville and Chelsi Welsh, Excelsior Springs, (background) Lindsey Long (left), Liberty and Joey Gorham, Hardin Central.
North Platte High School Students (below) J.D. Hodgson (left) and Abbey McKern were among the Youth With Vision (YWV) members attending the group’s first-ever Root Beer Summit.
