Volunteers sought for Thresholds program
Volunteers are being recruited for the Thresholds program that begins in

Thresholds is taught by volunteers on a one-to-one basis over a period of
nine weeks. The program, although non-religious, is based on Christian
principles and teachings. The only prerequisite is to be a caring person who
desires to reach out to inmates about to take on a new beginning.
To become involved, or to learn more, contact Maureen Stoodley at 287-4896,
