A public presentation, "Meth: Be Concerned," will alert attendees to the real and present danger of Methamphetamines in Anoka County, Centennial School District, and our five cities at 7 p.m. on Tuesday, February 28 in the Centennial Middle School Auditorium, 399 Elm Street, Lino Lakes. This program is a collaborative effort between the school district and the five communities we serve and work with every day (Blaine, Centerville, Circle Pines, Lexington, and Lino Lakes). The presentation will include a graphic slide presentation chronicling the impact Meth has on the user, family, communities, cnminal activity, and law enforcement. Attendees will hear from Lino Lakes, Centennial Lakes, and Blaine police officers; learn about the drug's presence in our communities; find out about the unbelievable threat of Meth to our communities, families, and children; and inspect-first-hand--examples ofthis drug and user paraphernalia. Finally, information tables will be set up in the middle school entry providing additional opportunities to learn more about methamphetamines. Methamphetamine use is serious business across Minnesota, in Anoka County, and in our communities. The February 28 presentation is a very important first step in enhancing awareness among community leaders and the general public, as well as among school district staff members, teachers, and students. Please help us publicize this important presentation among members of your organizations and congregations, in your neighborhoods, at your local business, in your classrooms, and with your children.
