Wilderness Crossroads June &
July Courses Successful
Wilderness Crossroads, headquartered
in Midlothian, Virginia, felt their June and July courses were very
successful. As of August, they decided the "best option is to re-group
and re-evaluate our marketing efforts. With this in mind, we have decided
not to hold the courses scheduled for August, September and October.
We will use this time to refine our marketing efforts and to evaluate
the prospects for a program in 1992."

dismissed from their public and private schools.
DeSisto School Has Active Year
The last year has been very active
for The DeSisto School in Massachusetts. The 12 step dorm went to several
meetings and social events off campus, and the Culinary Dorm renovated
Cherry's, the school-owned restaurant, getting ready for their Tanglewood
friends for the summer. Students were involved in Dinner Theatre presentations
of "Broadway In Love" and "New York, New York/And All That Jazz." Also,
"Last Resort," a made-for-television movie filmed on location at DeSisto
was broadcast last January on PBS/WMHX in Albany, New York.
