Hi Winger:
The other day I casually mentioned in my "MOS" message about some of
the impressive things that are going on with the Youth MOS (YMOS)
activities, within the MOS. Right now, I believe that most of these
efforts are focused on the Eastern Shore, mostly because that's were
the principal volunteers (George Radcliffe and Wayne Bell) live. The
skills that are being developed, even down into the elementary school
level, are quite impressive.
Did you know that there is an MOS web site for the YMOS activities?
http://www.ymos.org/
Maybe someone who is more familiar with the recent activities can
post an update. What was reported at the most recent MOS Board
meeting really impressed me ...
