Good Morning <<First Name>>,

I hope this finds you well and having a wonderful summer.  There are some great updates below and I wanted to see if I could quickly ask for two minutes of your time?  We love to check in with our members and get feedback from time to time to make sure we are on track and living up to our mission (listed at the bottom of this email).

It is a firm believe that the Raymond Coalition for Youth is a success because of those who are involved and committed to the mission.  This is You by the way, and we thank you!  

We have three quick questions to ask and your feedback is most valuable.   Your responses will inform us and possibly be used as quotes to inform others about our work.  Here is the link: http://goo.gl/forms/tpRpi2qbvxBhi8oH3

On another note we had another great meeting yesterday morning and want to thank everyone who came to be a part of the conversation.

We had two of our Youth Action members present to give an overview and presentation on their recently released videos.  

The middle school group produced Bonfire in response to the growing concerns regarding vaping.  Vaping is a new tobacco delivery device and it is often used to entice young people into the use of nicotine.  Typically flavors are mixed into a 'juice' that is ingested through a vaporizing device that can look like a pen.  


Our high school group produced Reflections in response to their concern for the current Heroin crisis.  They want the public to know that we all need to be concerned about this issue as it effects everyone in our community.  Watch the video and learn more.  

Our Heroin/Drug task force has been moving ahead and a few of our members have produced videos for our community to recognize the faces of those in our community who care and want to help.  They are all available to view and share on our Youtube account.  

Our Medication Safety Tip posters and cards have arrived and will be posted around town and given out at Lamprey Health Care.  These remind people to properly "monitor", "secure" and safely dispose of expired medication at the Raymond Police Department.
 


It was a great meeting and we thank all of our guests for coming.  The minute of the entire meeting will be posted soon.
 
Last night was the kick off of our Summer Fun Series and everyone had a blast!  Jen, Youth Action members and our Volunteers pulled together another amazing night!   A special shout out to Walmart for providing great door prizes for those who came too.  Thank you to everyone who contributed to making the night a success.  Mark your calendars for the next one on July 28th.


Again,if you can take one or two minutes to let us know "Why" RCFY is important to you it would be greatly appreciated.  http://goo.gl/forms/tpRpi2qbvxBhi8oH3 

Please feel free to pass along to others as well.  You are RCFY's best advocate!!  Everyone involved was asked, or informed, by someone at some point.  

I hope you have a great weekend and thank you for your support,

Celeste Clark, Raymond Coalition For Youth Director
