Youth Worker Conference

Well with the weekend just about over, with me being as pooped as a hotdog sleeping through the first 1/2 of the conference today (doh!) decided I'd write a little about it.

Speaker: Tony Campollo
Topic: Youth and youth violence

What can I say, Tony was a great speaker to listen to. He is an extremely challenging speaker. Did you know that he's in his 70's!! I actually never knew that. Well other than Tony! (Italian Accent) we had some work shops. I decided to go to the one where they actually put you in the back of a cop car, take you to the police station and take you through the process of being arrested and booked in. It qas quite the interesting experience. They showed us the 911 calls that had come in and the amount of police they had on the roads at that moment in time. For 20, 911 calls that they had to respond to there were only 10 cops out on the road. It's quite incredible the amount of effort those cops have to do.

Anywho, it was short, but so was the weekend. Hope you all had a great weekend, Cya!
