by the publisher, and may also use a referral service for future employment
opportunities. More than 2,500 colleges and universities nationwide use the
publication to recognize their academically qualified students. To learn

WTSS Volunteer council elects new officers
The West Texas State School volunteer council recently elected new officers
for fiscal year 2002.
Those serving as officers for the West Texas Community Resource Council
for Troubled Youth for FY'2002 are Julian Dawson of Kermit _ chairperson;
Julia Smith of Monahans- vice-chair and Marissa Layton of Monahans _ secretary-treasurer.
The West Texas Council recently voted to change their name from "WTSS
Community Advisory Council" to the "West Texas Community Resource Council
for Troubled Youth." Council members believe the new name more accurately
reflects the council's role at WTSS. The West Texas volunteer council is
a non-profit 501c3 corporation established and dedicated for the sole benefit
of the youth at WTSS. The council consists of a flexible group of community
representatives and interested individuals that represent the community within
the facility and represents the facility in the community.
Council members include a diverse combination of people representing various
community resources, including the fields of law enforcement/judiciary, education,
business, churches and the media.
The WTSS council will celebrate their 18-year anniversary in December
2001.
