TV Judge Speaks to Parents
CJH was one of several sponsors to host Judge Glenda Hatchett for the 1st annual Parent Summit . The event was held at Halifax Community College in Weldon . NC on Saturday, January 16, 2010. The summit was tailored for parents of children in the school system and local grant programs such as Healthy Marriage MATTERS"'healthy relationships" and ASPIRE "abstinence education". However, the public was welcome. Both grants served teenagers and were funded by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.
