It is with great sadness that I share this message, Mary Eaton died unexpectedly from a fall on New Year’s Day. As you know Mary was an angel among us, her smile lit up the room, and her good heart made us all want to be better people.

The holiday period from Thanksgiving through Hanukkah and Christmas signifies a time of reflection and gratitude for all things. As we gather with our families for delicious dinners prepared with the best trimmings, we reflect deeply on what truly means the most to us and express gratitude for those things.

Prevention Week, celebrated May 9-15, is not just about AWARENESS it is about ACTION and taking Responsibility for our ACTION.

Taking Responsibility for our Actions is not easy.  It requires honesty to see ourselves and make informed choices.  Do we see the connections?

Have you ever noticed we keep asking you “What are you doing for Red Ribbon Week”?

It’s because we are equipping you to live a healthy drug free life and to pass it on to those around you; especially your children.

Over the years it has been interesting to watch people act like, “You’re not talking to me are you?”

Yes YOU! We are talking to YOU. Prevention talks directly to everyone…no exceptions.
