Jan Walker (advisor)
           "I’m one of the advisors to have the pleasure to work with the Youth Cabinet and plan great events for all of you throughout our District!  I’m a member of the Locust Grove Church of the Brethren in Mt. Airy, MD, where I enjoy working with the youth and playing the piano for the worship team and services.  My paying job is as a computer programmer/analyst and air pollution scientist with an environmental consulting firm in Baltimore, MD.  Besides the District Youth events, I also have enjoyed spending time with many of you at Shepherd’s Spring Youth Camp, where I have served as a Co-Director for quite a few years.  I hope to see and meet many of you at the District events the Cabinet had planned for this year."
Pete Haynes (advisor)
           "I'm the 'old guy' here (tho' Jan has served longer than I - by the way, she's the organized one!). It's my privilege to work with an amazing group of young women and men in this cabinet. They are full of ideas and energy. It's going be a great year!  I co-directed the first week of Youth Camp at Shepherd's Spring back in 1991. Looking further back, I was a youth pastor in Indiana, attending my first NYC in 1982. For the last 15 years I've been pastor of the Long Green Valley Church of the Brethren in the northern suburbs of Baltimore. I have four children, ages 11 to 20, my oldest now in her second year of college.  I  love camp, music, drama, Jesus, and His church. If you're bored and want to read more, check out this bio info.
