Here's Sue Catroppa, executive director of CAPTAIN Youth and Family Services, speaking at our meeting on Thursday. As Barb Conner says on our Facebook page: "Much of their work is done by volunteers, and they could always use YOUR help."
Update: Sue's talk was sobering, helping us realize the urgent needs and problems affecting many young people in Saratoga County. While this is often thought of as a prosperous area, there is a lot of poverty here.
