YADAPP
Don’t know if we have a team for YADAPP or not we will need to check with Joe.
Rachel’s Challenge
Officially reached the $5000 goal with commitments from PTA and council. Lyon’s Club is looking for kids to present. Sent letter to Moose Lodge two weeks ago, walk-a-thon still to come and it sounds like lots of kids are interested. The turn out for the concert wasn’t as good as they hopes (40 or so). Area car wash said they would donate money too. No word from Keith on the big grant request.
6th and 7th graders are stepping up to take leadership roles and will be part of the presentation to staff.
Pitch for Prevention
Talked about this again. With all the fundraising they are doing for Rachel’s Challenge it doesn’t seem that they will be able to do much for this.
New Drug
Talked about the new K2 drug that is out. The officers didn’t seem to think it was much of a deal here. Talked about he meth lab bust in town as well.
Misc
Talked about possibly doing prevention club field trips next year to get the kids out in the community.
