Community Leaders will respond to the "Bright Ideas" from the 80 teens who attended Dialogue Day on April 11th.
This will be the start of adults and youth working together to make a great community even better for youth - Don't miss the opportunity to be there in person. Everyone is welcome! Presentations! Dialogue about transportation & more activities for youth and so much more - We want input from youth and adults. 8th grade and older welcome. Refreshments, t-shirts, giveaways - Please join us!
Also a reminder to celebrate safely this prom and graduation season
Parents Who Host Lose the Most - This is not only providing the alcohol thinking that they will
be drinking anyway, it's turning your head the other way or not checking what's going on in your own
house when kids gather. Drinking is dangerous and not a right of passage. It is also against the law
and the consequences can be life altering.
