[Youth-outreach] Background Checks...Oops!

[Thorpe, Mary Jo]

Hi all,
    Sorry for sending that message to the whole list.  But in any case,
it is probably really helpful info for all of you.  Given the fact that
many of you are responsible for different programs with youth, or
starting such programs, it is a really good idea to have background
checks performed on your mentors. You want to make sure you are covered
and have trust-worthy people with your children, especially since a lot
of NFB-related activities tend to involve overnight activities.  So, I
hope maybe that info will be helpful to you.  
Thanks,
 Mary Jo
