Community helps keep youths drug free, healthy

To the Editor:

As November is here and Thanksgiving holidays are fast approaching, we are more in tune to thinking about our blessings in life and using this time of year to give thanks to family, friends and those we hold dear.

The Community Anti-Drug Coalition of Rutherford County is a community family, and as such we want to give our thanks to our coalition members, community partners and the wonderful, caring citizens in the county who have blessed us with their time, talents, energy, passion and commitment to keeping the youth in our community safe, healthy and drug and alcohol free.

The core mission of CADCOR is to bring people and organizations together to create a healthy environment with a primary focus in stemming underage drinking and youth substance abuse.

Our successes and ability to make a difference comes from our dedicated partners in law enforcement, community health care, education systems, local non-profit agencies and government.

Thank you MTSU partners, individually and collectively, for the many blessings that you have bestow upon CADCOR and the positive impact you are making in the community.
