A forum "Making Ends Meet - What Should We Do To Support Working
Families?" will
be held on Wednesday, February 21 on the second floor of the Calhoun
County
Library. The event will begin with lunch at 11:30 a.m. and the forum
will start at 2:30
p.m., according to Sue Jones, local WVU Extension Agent.
The forum is one of several being held across West Virginia out of
concern for
struggling families, such as lay-offs, low wage jobs, unemployment,
lack of health
insurance or loss of public benefits.
The event, jointly sponsored by the Calhoun County Family Resource
Network and
WVU Extension Service, will bring people together to explore the
problems faced by
working families.
The goals of the forum are to think about what we can do about the
problem in
Calhoun County, according to Jones, including informing our policy
makers.
"We need input from people from various agencies and from all walks of
life. We hope
people will come and participate," she said. You can call 354-6332 to
register.
