Report from the Lake County After School Coalition

I received the following letter today from Chief Raymond Rose of the Mundelein Police Department and State Representative Kathy Ryg who are Co-Presidents Lake County After School Coalition. If you recall I talked about Liz Nelson a Madrona Resident a few posts ago and her involvement with this organization. The village sent Police Administrative Director Mike Recupito to attend the program by the way.

Thank you to those of you who attended or supported the Town Hall Meeting on Underage Drinking Prevention on April 11. We received significant feedback from members of the community; including children, parents, school officials and community leaders.

The next step is crucial:
We need your help to prioritize these needs and develop an action plan. Our Action Planning on Underage Drinking Prevention meeting will take place on Tuesday, April 25th, from 6:30 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. at Carmel Catholic High School (One Carmel Pkwy, Mundelein). Refreshments will be served at 6:00 p.m.

Please join us to help decide what the root problems are and the solutions we can implement to prevent underage drinking. It is not enough for one or even a few members of a community to take a stand against underage drinking, we need everyone. We sincerely hope that you will attend this Action Planning meeting and encourage others to as well. Please feel free to forward the attached brochure to other interested parties.

Please do attend if you can, I have the complete flyer as a PDF available here if you want more details on the program.
