Listening to the stories of devastation that every Long Beach family had to tell makes the effort by the youth of the NSLC Junior Board a truly heart felt gesture. There is much left to be done to recover fully from this storm, it is our sincere hope that these kids actions will be truly help- ful and maybe spark some other good will gestures to help these people get their lives back.” For information about the NSLC Ju- nior Officer Corp. or the NSLC please contact Matt Nizich at mattniz@opton- line.net.
