Dear Coalition Members and Interested Citizens:
As the summer winds down and the kids in our communities get ready to start a fresh new year, we to want to take this opportunity to celebrate what we’ve gotten done and decide where we’re going next. Please join us for our semi-annual Coalition meeting, as we plan for the next six months! (see details below)
Together, we have accomplished so much in the last year, thanks to all of your hard work!
One of our most recent accomplishments is the continuation of the Alcohol License Density Ordinance in downtown Madison!
Another example--we have worked together with local coalitions around the County to bring in John Underwood, a world-renowned expert, to teach our communities about the importance and impact of having strong, unified Codes of Conduct that prevent drug and alcohol use, for kids participating in activities.
We have expanded the coalition’s diversity, revamped the coalition’s website, expanded the social media (facebook, twitter, etc.), and more—all of this to make it more effective!
It’s time to celebrate these accomplishments and continue this momentum forward as there is still so much work to be done to reduce the negative impact of alcohol abuse felt throughout our community.
So please come to our meeting, be part of the discussion as we prioritize the specific policy goals to pursue as we move forward. Attached is a list of some of the ideas we have come up with so far. There are of course many possibilities and many other ideas and we need and invite yours! Come help us plan the Coalition’s next steps!
