Heppner Gazette-Times, Heppner, Oregon Wednesday, May 4, 1994 - THREE Tina Kemp attends leadership program Golf tourney raises funds for district Heppner High School sophomore Tina Kemp joined more than 200 sophomore leaders from throughout the state at the Oregon Youth Leadership Hugh O ’Brian Youth Foundation seminar held in Wilsonville, April 14-17. The Oregon Youth Leadership Seminar, HOBY, brings together a select group of high school sophomores so that they can in teract with groups of distinguish ed leaders in business, govern ment, education and the profes sions to discuss present and future issues. The goal is to provide the youths a unique forum for learn ing about the American incentive system and democratic process and for broadening their understanding of their leadership potential and quest for self development. The seminar challenges them to think about the world around them and what they, as the future leaders, have to do to positively influence business, government and society. They also better understand that their goals and dreams are important and that leaders have extreme respon sibility in whatever walk of life they pursue, said a press release. The Hugh O’Brian Youth Foundation was established by actor Hugh O’Brian following a visit to Africa where he was in spired by a meeting with Dr. Albert Schweitzer. “ One of the things Schweitzer said to me was that the most im portant thing in education was to teach young people to think for themselves,” O’Brian says. “ From that inspiration, and with the support of others who believe in youth and the American Dream, I started HOBY to seek out, recognize, develop and reward outstanding leadership potential among our nation’s youth.” Spring concert slated May 5 The spring music program for Heppner Middle School and High School students will be held Thursday, May 5, at 7:30 p.m. at the Heppner Junior High School gym.
