Rebecca Ryan Follow-Up Slated for Wednesday, December 10th

IRONWOOD TOWNSHIP, MI - Tuesday, December 2, 2008 - Over 200 community members recently heard nationally known author and speaker Rebecca Ryan discuss how communities can attract and retain more young people. A follow-up to this program will be held on Wednesday, December 10th at 6:00 PM in the Gogebic Community College cafeteria in Ironwood. The purpose of this program will be to learn what young people in our community are looking for in a place to live so that we can create the kind of community that will be attractive to today’s young people and their families. Will Andresen, Iron County UW-Extension’s Community Resource Development Agent, will share the results of a survey taken by over 600 area young people, providing insights into what they want in a place to live and their perceptions of our community. The program is free of charge and everybody is welcome to attend and participate.
