Young Marines

I attended the Round Lake Park District's Fall Festival over the weekend, which was beneficial for signatures (my other project) and of course I always run into people wanting to talk about stuff, and this lady told me about some really interesting stuff!

Denise Jackson is a Round Lake Park resident who is active in an organization called the Young Marines which is a youth education and service program for boys and girls, ages 8 through completion of high school. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral, and physical development of its members. The program focuses on character building, leadership, and promotes a healthy, drug-free lifestyle. The Young Marines is the focal point for the U.S. Marine Corps' youth Drug Demand Reduction efforts.

Denise is available here if you are interested in the joining or helping the local organization which has meetings throughout Lake County.
