Students to pack lunches while learning leadership
More than 1,500 metro Atlanta high school students will pack an average of nearly 17 meals a piece as part of a leadership experience Saturday in Marietta.
The conference presented by the ADDO Institute (www.AddoInstitute.com) will use stories to teach understanding and compassion and to encourage achievement. Speakers include Vince Dooley, former University of Georgia football coach.
This second annual ADDO Gathering will be from 9:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Piedmont Conference Center, 570 Piedmont Road. The packing of meals for 25,000 in need is at noon.
