In keeping with the Rotary them for September, New Generations, the guest speaker at the club’s weekly meeting held today – 18 September – was Mr. Henderson Tittle, the Youth Minister at the New Life Baptiste Church.  According to Mr. Tittle, his passion is to encourage and empower the youth.

His message titled “Save the Seed” focused on a project he is currently working on to engage at-risk youth in the community, both male and female.  The TV show, “Reaching Out” will target youth between the ages of 12 – 19 and will provide a forum to them to discuss issues they face in today’s rapidly changing society. The show is scheduled to commence broadcasting next month (October) on JTV Channel 55 and is will air on Wednesdays at 8:00 p.m. and re-broadcast on Fridays at 4:00 p.m. and Saturdays at 12:00 p.m.
