MOUNT VERNON — Cornell College students who spent their spring break helping New Orleans recover from Hurricane Katrina will join youth from Mount Vernon’s First Presbyterian Church who assisted hurricane victims in Mississippi for a presentation about their experiences at 7 p.m. Thursday, May 25, on the Orange Carpet in The Commons at Cornell.
Twenty-two Cornell students were in Chalmette, La., just outside of New Orleans, clearing debris from storm-damaged businesses and working at a relief center distributing food and clothing to local residents.
Nine members of the church’s youth group spent their spring break in Gulfport, Miss., clearing debris from neighborhoods and distributing relief supplies.
Their joint presentation will include a question-and-answer session. Admission is free to the presentation.
