CEDARR Happenings: Share your ideas with group at monthly meeting
By Cyndee Druba, SPF Coordinator
CEDARR is a group of community
members and professionals from our area
who meet regularly to discuss local issues
and concerns about the abuse of alcohol,
tobacco and other drugs, which can lead to
violence, delinquency and a host of other
problems for local families.
The primary focus is toward the youth
in our community. We want to develop
a safe, healthy and substance-free com
munity for them to live and grow up in.
It’s so easy for members of our com
munity to focus on the problems. We can
sit back in our homes, discuss these issues
and say “Why is this happening?” “Why
isn't anyone doing anything?” “They need
to do this” or “They need to change that.”
My point is that we all have an opinion
about what needs to be done, what might
be done, maybe this would work or maybe
that. Each and every one of you has great
ideas and we would like you to share them.
We have all heard “It takes a village
to raise a child.” That statement is so true.
We as caring and loving people need to
help direct our children, to give them
purpose and teach them culture.
When attendees of our meetings
gather to discuss these community issues,
we do not place our focus on the negative.
We discuss solutions to these issues and
CEDARR
place our focus on the positive qualities
of our children and our community and
also how can we enhance these qualities
to include all of our youth.
It would be awesome to see you at
our next CEDARR meeting on Feb.l at
the Siletz Public Library. 255 SE Gaither
in Siletz.
Some ideas discussed at our last meet
ing include:
