Prince George. They came to attend an ex- ecutive training session covering things like how to run a meeting properly. Because venturers basically run their own pro- grams, they need to learn what each job consists of from presi- dent to treasurer. Both Ven- turers and Rovers have adult leaders —- called advisors — but they are only there if needed. They. are a great bunch of -guys and gals. Having been with them for the three years since they designed the executive training program, I've seen a lot .of changes and a lot of kids growing up to become very Well, the fall is definitely here ' 7 responsible y young adults. tk tek ke ‘School News Copper Mountain New staff members at Copper Mountain Elementary school are Miss Wandi, Miss Jones, - Miss MacGregor and Mr. Pollard.
