Community Meeting on Underage Drinking
|
|
You are invited to attend an important community meeting Wednesday May 7 in Lac du Flambeau about Underage
Drinking. This
meeting
will also serve as our monthly Lakeland Area Community Meeting.
According to the most recent Positive
Alternatives
Coalition
Drug Free Community Survey (December 2007) given to over 700 6th-8th
grade students from across Vilas County, 40% of these students first
drank
alcohol before the age of 14. According to this survey, our local youth
report
underage alcohol use at levels higher than both the national and state
averages, a compelling reason to come together, understand the issues
and
explore solutions.
The meeting will
be held
from 5:30pm-8:00pm at the Lac du
Flambeau Wellness Center, located on the east side of Hwy 47 about 1/2
mile
south of the LdF Grade school.

Lakeland Area Community
Meetings
Students and Adults Invited
The Intercultural Leadership Initiative
(ILI) staff and Positive Alternatives Coalition (PAC) are pleased to
invite you to a series of community meetings. These meetings provide an
opportunity to discuss the social issues in our community (race,
culture, economics, etc) in order to find solutions to ensure the
safety and success for all of our young people. They will be
facilitated by ILI staff and others from our community and will focus
on celebrating our diverse local perspectives.
We've had
wonderful turnout for our first meetings. This is a living, breathing
process. We will make mistakes and, if we truly honor one another, we
will help each other learn how to do things better.
