The NM Substance Abuse Prevention Council, through funding by the Housatonic Valley Coalition Against Substance Abuse (HVCASA), is sponsoring a roadside Ad campaign designed to make parents aware of the inappropriateness of providing alcohol to underage youth. The Agency would like to thank the New Milford High School, the New Milford Police Dept. and Mr. Tom Pilla for allowing us to put these road sign posters on their property.
A group of ten adventurous students had a great day on June 26th at Steep Rock Preserve, Washington Ct. Meeting new friends and feeling the cold air from the train tunnel was only the beginning. Several students enjoyed taking pictures and admiring simple things like the moss on the rocks and wood, the mushrooms and waterfalls. Carefully stepping around the orange salamanders and avoiding the steep drop offs slowed us down to enjoy all nature had to offer. A short rain shower only cooled us off as did stepping in the river to observe the crayfish. One of our newest guests announced, “I am so glad my Mom signed me up for this!”. Stay tuned for more adventures!
A big thank you to all the volunteers who spent their night honoring the hard work of the High School grads of 2013 at this years Grad Party. Youth Agency volunteers included;
Phyllis Alesio, Jim Carmellini, Stella & Myrcini Vendetti, Marty & Ginny Langrebe, Ryan Soares, and Justin Carvalho.
