We keep hoping, by recruiting more people for meetings, they can help us come up with more creative ways to get funding.

If as many people show up to help us build as have come to our meetings (12 to 15 people), then it will really be tough.

We are strengthening the protective factors of children so they make better decisions. Hopefully, the programs will decrease drug use and alcohol use.

It's a big deal for us just to start off with a win.

We encourage people to come to the meetings and we'll see what we can get done. If someone needs help, we will find a way to get it done.

If you want to help by going down there, call us as soon as you can. We are starting training at 9 a.m. [today]. We need to get people out there, but we have to prepare them.
