One Year Celebration Event!
Kalamazoo County Substance Abuse Task Force to host
1st Annual Celebration Event!
The Kalamazoo County Substance Abuse Task Force will be hosting their 1st Annual Celebration event on Tuesday, October 27th at 7:00 pm at Portage City Hall. Over the last year, in collaboration with countless youth, parents, business and community partners, and concerned citizens Task Force volunteers have worked diligently to develop a Kalamazoo County action plan and begin implementing strategies to prevent high risk youth behaviors, promote community awareness of their effort, connect plentiful community resources, and provide useful substance abuse prevention information to local families.
“The Kalamazoo County Substance Abuse Task Force accomplishments this past year were made possible by the numerous volunteers who generously gave of themselves and gave of their time because they are committed to making this community a healthier and safer place for our youth” states Jenny Jordan, Task Force Coordinator. “During these tough times volunteers represent a major part of our continued success”. This event will honor the dedication of local volunteers, recognize Task Force accomplishments, and highlight the group’s vision for the upcoming year.
Community members and members of the press are invited to join several key stakeholders including the City of Portage Mayor Pete Strazdas, Superintendent of KRESA Ron Fuller, Portage Public Schools Superintendent Marsha Wells, local law enforcement officers and others as we celebrate a year of successes and honor those who have worked diligently to fight back against substance abuse in our community. For more information about this event please call 269.388.4200 or visit the Kalamazoo County Substance Abuse Task Force website at www.kzootaskforce.com.
