Volunteers for Young Life of Logan County recently offered Indian Lake High School fall activity participants relief from the heat.
They distributed some 250 bottles of Gatorade to members of the high school football, soccer, cross country, golf and volleyball teams, as well as the cheereladers and marching band and color guard members.
Young Life Logan County Committee Chairman Dan Young says volunteer Renee Metzger came up with idea to reach out to students on the first official day of fall sports practices.
“We thought the kids practicing on a hot day would appreciate the gesture and they really did. It was also an opportunity for our volunteer leaders to start getting to know the kids,” he said.
Young Life of Logan County is a group of local individuals who hope to bring young people in the area closer to God outside of a traditional church. The effort is based on the global Young Life program. The Young Life of Logan County Committee formed in the spring. Young says there are already 15 volunteers and 4 leaders.
This fall they plan to work on building relationships with Indian Lake students by attending several sporting and music events.
