They encourage people in the community to “Become a Part of the Solution.”
D-FAC Coalition Chairman Janie Carter said, “We need your input, suggestions, and recommendations. We invite you to join our Focus Group Conversation, to help us understand the needs of our community in order to keep our children safe from drugs.”
Carter requested, “Please tell all of your friends and neighbors in the communities of Portland, Montrose, Parkdale, and Wilmot” about the date, time and location of the focus group conversation.
She added, “Your attendance and participation are critical.”
