0724BRIDGE1
Lt. Jeff Shoemaker and Lt. Lisa Collett of the Hall County Sheriff’s Office meet with a group of teens Saturday morning at the Gainesville Civic Center during The Bridge Expo and Forum. The nonprofit group’s event allowed youths to meet professionals and learn about various career opportunities available once they graduate from high school.
