CAPTAIN MARVEL SEEKS HELP FROM LOCALS

Volunteers in high demand...

Union City, TX - The aftermath of Freeze Frame's recent pranks on the city has brought a change in the wind. Captain Marvel is asking all locals in grades preschool to 6th, to come be apart of a new training program called "Heroes in Training," or HiT.

The basic premise is that we can all be superheroes if we use the gifts God gave us... and the HiTting is not necessary.

The kids will be separated into groups based on their age/grade and will go through a 4 course program preparing them for all those pranksters, like Freeze Frame, in the world.

The Heroes in Training Program will take place July 16 - 19 at Parkview Church in Sherman, TX.

"The Heroes in Training program is going to be a huge success for Union City." Mayor Picket said yesterday. "We anticipate hundreds of children to come and learn how to be a superhero for God."

Captain Marvel has also requested that adults come to this program as well. "The HiT program is specifically designed for children, but their parents and other adults are encouraged to attend the class for there age."

Mayor Pickit and Captain Marvel along with the town of Union City and Parkview Church of Christ have teamed up together to make this a splendid event for all ages!

But they will need volunteers for the aforementioned week.
