On the heels of National Nurses Appreciation week, General Hoyer sits down on At The Leadership Table with Tanya Rogers, assistant vice president of nursing education at WVU Medicine. They discuss addressing the national nursing shortage by recruiting, preparing, and retaining the next generation of nurses right here in the Mountain State.

Each the Saturday before Mother’s Day Charleston has the East End Yard Sale. Residents who live in the east in hold this sale which allows them to get rid of unwanted stuff and if not careful buy more stuff. I went down to the sale and talked with some east-enders who were selling items. There is also a lot of food that gets sold during this sale. Several thousand people turn out for the sale. The best part is crowd watching.

In our final segment we learn about the importance of local Farmers Markets.
