A day in a soldier’s life
February 25, 2010Radio talk show host Michael Baisden will make a stop in St. Mary Parish on Friday, Feb. 26, to promote his One Million Mentor Campaign to Save Our Kids radio tour. The goal is to inspire 1 million adults to become responsible mentors.
Baisden will hold a town hall meeting Friday evening at the Patterson Civic Center, in conjunction with his radio broadcast on local affiliate KBZE 105.9FM (www.kbze.com). The meeting is at 7 p.m., and is free and open to the public.
“It’s time to step up and save our kids,” Basiden said. “Mentoring is an important tool to help address dropout risk factors and to help ensure that young people are supported in their effort to graduate from high school. Youth mentoring is a simple, yet a powerful concept. An adult provides guidance, support and encouragement to help a young person achieve success in life.
“In short, mentors serve as role models,” he added.
