Parents Television Council Launches Cache Valley Chapter - PTC Press Release

Sharilee Guest is helping the PTC lead the fight against violence and indecency in both television and video games in Cache County, Utah.  As a mother of four children, Sharilee has a personal interest in protecting the local airwaves and ensuring that appropriate programming is available to families.  She believes individuals and families have the right to retain the 'choice' to view or not be exposed to media they consider to be offensive or inappropriate.  However, Sharilee's interest is not limited to protecting the youth in her own home only.  She is actively involved in numerous community organizations geared towards providing opportunities and leadership to youth and families in Cache Valley, throughout the state, and across the nation.

In 1998 Sharilee created a National Education Network aimed at providing families, particularly parents, an on-line community where they could safely surf the internet and gather the information that would enhance their parenting skills and their child's education without the risk of being bombarded with predatory internet sights.  The site includes a cyberary, study hall, teacher's lounge, parent education center, pre-school, technology center and links to over 200,000 school websites nationwide.  The site continues to receive over a half million hits per month.

In addition to her volunteer work with the PTC Sharilee is actively involved in the local PTA.  She has served as PTSA President for the local middle school for the past two years where her leadership has led to an award winning student leadership format where over 60 students are actively involved in PTSA leadership and events, including direct interaction with local legislators and media personnel.  Sharilee will serve as the Logan District PTA President during the 07-08 and 08-09 school years and hopes to expand the vision of student leadership throughout the district.

She also serves as the Chair of the Headstart Board of Trustees;  Communications Chair of the local Inter-Agency Council;  Chairs the local Logan's Promise and Logan City Family Week; as a member of  several school community councils, the Cache Literacy Coalition and Cache Citizens Against Domestive Violence; on the Cache Children's Choir Parent Board.  She is also a founding member of the newly formed America-Israel Friendship League Utah Chapter where she oversees the Youth and Student Exchange program.  By profession Sharilee is a Mediator and also serves as Program Coordinator for a mentoring program, Youth and Families with Promise.

Sharilee believes in today's youth and is actively involved in advocating for them and assisting them in reaching their full potential.  "Today's youth are tomorrow's leaders.  It is our responsibility and privilege as adults and citizens to provide them with a safe environment in which they can explore their world, develop their talents and leadership ability, and reach their full potential without being bombarded with media that violates the community standard and seeks to destroy their futures.  We must stand up, speak out and be heard.  We must do our part to retain the opportunity for media choices and to end the proliferation of profanity, sex and violence on our airways that assaults us and our children unbidden, particularly during the family hour."
