We would like to give thanks to the many agencies in the community who have partnered with us in assisting youth and their families.   We would also like to thank the school systems for allowing us to participate in the out of school suspension program and giving us an opportunity to educate youth and their families on how to stay drug free.  As a community we can make a difference.
