Upcoming 2008 Summer Events

Presbyterian Disaster Assistance has received numerous requests for youth to be involved in the Gulf Coast hurricane response. We are pleased to announce that a special program has been designed especially for youth to participate in the Presbyterian Volunteer Village experience. In addition, Father and Son weeks are being planned for summer 2008. Information is as follows:
