Winning Choices 2002, Pamela Cooperman of Grassroots and Lisa Hurka Covington of SPEAK held a session for teens called, What Would You Do? Close to forty teens attended and were very vocal during the presentation... Some were having conversations with their friends while others were listening. After the session was over Mrs. Hurka Covington was handed a note from one of the girls in the class and was almost in tears when reading it. She would never see this teen again, but her note touched Mrs. Hurka Covington giving her the strength to continue on reaching
out to young people....
