June 2018 Newsletter:
May was a busy and productive month! There were over a handful of events and activities that we helped plan or support to prevent teen drug use. Our BUZZKILL Campaign still runs through the end of the month to address underage drinking, and there are numerous volunteer opportunities throughout the summer. Please keep reading to learn more about the accomplishments and how you can help out.

We are also starting to analyze data from the latest student survey we conducted earlier this year in March. The most commonly used substances continues to be alcohol and marijuana, but e-cigarettes may be a new contender. You can participate in the conversation by joining the next Public Board Meeting on June 18 at 2:30 pm at Pleasant Valley Church.

BUZZKILL CAMPAIGN:


BUZZKILL is a county-wide awareness campaign with the sole purpose of reminding community members that it is illegal to provide alcohol to people under the legal drinking age of 21. Not only is it illegal, but you risk facing consequences that affect ones future and health. 



We are highlighting several activities across Winona County that provide students with alternatives to binge drinking and provide adults with opportunities to help prevent negative consequences of underage drinking.

Campaign Activities:

  • Parent Pledge
  • Party Patrols
  • After Prom Parties
  • Sticker Shock
  • Responsible Beverage Server Training
