TO ALL WASHINGTON COUNTY RESIDENTS Please, come join our alcohol prevention coalition!!!!!!!! This coalition is about protecting a child’s life. The statistics at this time do not show that Washington
County has much of a problem with alcohol/substance abuse. One purpose of this coalition is to find a way to gather the data needed to show the problem that we all know
exists in this county. We all need to make sure we are brutally honest in the gathering
of these figures. There is a definite problem but unless we show the data to support
the problem, the funding we have received to save the young people of this county will be lost before we can even get started. All parents in the community are at risk of losing
their young people to alcohol/substance abuse. The disease of addiction does not care
who you are or whether you are rich or poor. It simply takes control and renders everyone
it touches powerless with a life that becomes unmanageable in every aspect. The disease
not only ruins the life of the young person but also breaks the heart of all those people who love them. For these young people academic performance,
spiritual purpose and meaning of life, health, family, friends, socialization skills, and their actual freedom are just a
few of the things that are at risk. Please volunteer your time and expertise. Let’s save our young people!!!
Sincerely,
Sally Loner C.O.P.E. Project Coordinator Washington County Community Partnership 104 Hickory Potosi, MO. 63664 573-438-8555
