What is Operation Keepsake? I lived in Mayfield for 18 years and have never heard of it.

Operation Keepsake is an abstinence education program that does presentations in the middle and high schools in the northeastern Ohio area.

My son was a speaker for the college group, The Resistence, for two years. The college-aged speakers are not much older than the students and it gives them (the students) the opportunity to see young adults who actually walk the talk.

In addition to The Resistence, there is a week long education portion to the program in which instructors teach the facts about sex education. There's also the Gender Approach Project in which boys and girls are separated and certain subjects that are pertinent to the specific gender are discussed.

There have been featured articles, both positive and negative, in the Plain Dealer and Scene Magazine. The director has been on WTAM's Mike Trivosonno's (sp?) show.
