JACKSON, Miss. (AP) - Great Britain's Prince Edward, the Earl of
Wessex, will be in Jackson May 22-23 to raise money for a mentoring
program and to present medals to about 80 students.
Edward will meet with the inaugural Mississippi class of
recipients in the Duke of Edinburgh Award program.
The mentoring program promotes community service, physical
recreation and skill development.
Students from Oxford High, Lafayette High and Water Valley High
schools will receive medals. Gov. Haley Barbour and his wife,
Marsha, will join him for the presentation on May 23 at the
Mississippi Museum of Art.
On May 22, a $1,000-per-couple evening fundraiser at a private
Jackson residence will benefit the startup program in Mississippi.
