CEDARR Happenings: Help prepare for Prescription Drug Abuse Summit By Cyndee Druba, SPF Coordinator This is a reminder and invitation to all of you - we would like you to join us at our monthly coalition meetings. CEDARR is a group of community mem bers who meet regularly to talk about and seek solutions to our community’s misuse of drugs and alcohol, placing special focus on the health and safety of our young people living in our community. We met on Feb. 1 at the Siletz Public Library; this meeting was attended by nine of our awesome community members. The main focus was discussion and plans for the 2012 Youth Film Program Project. Currently, three schools in Lincoln County will take part in the 2012 Youth Film Program Project, including the fresh man class at Siletz Valley School. The focus of this year’s film projects is on prescription drug abuse. During the next couple of months, guest speakers will visit the school to educate and motivate our students to create an inspirational, educational and informative film for the world to see through their eyes. How cool is that? These films created by local youth will be presented for the first time in May at the Prescription Drug Abuse Summit hosted by the Lincoln County District Attorney’s office. PAADA (Partnership Against Alcohol and Drug Abuse) and CEDARR will help plan this event. This will be a huge event in our com munity. Much planning and collaboration is taking place at the local community level. Your words of wisdom and creative ideas are important for projects such as this, so please attend CEDARR meetings and share your knowledge with us all.
