General
Membership Meeting of the
Lake Gaston
Water Safety Council
May 30th,
2012
Exodus for Youth is an uplifting
experience for young teenagers,
many of whom have never seen
Lake Gaston, let alone play in
the water, fish, and take a boat
ride.
Having a free day on the lake is
one of the mentoring programs
designed to inspire young folks
from a four county area who are
currently going through the
court system.
The Water Safety Council's
membership meeting 6PM,
May 30th at the Kennon
House Restaurant in Gasburg, VA.
will hear Vernon Bryant, the
leader and President of Exodus
for Youth, tell how these
youngsters are encouraged and
motivated by this one day summer
outing in June. This Event is
held at Edward's Beach in
Northampton County.
Vernon Bryant, is a Halifax
County Commissioner and a former
county school board member.
Members of the Water Safety
Council will use the Safety
Trailer to explain the need for
wearing life jackets and other
safety measures around the
water. Hear Vernon's inspiring
story and how several volunteer
organizations around the lake
use Exodus for Youth to steer
young people in the right
direction.
