Next meeting…

So it is settled…the next DRAGON Youth Project Advisory Committee meeting will be on Thursday February 1st at 4:00pm in the El Escondido conference room at the San Juan Basin Health Department.  I know this time does not work for all of you, but it seems to work for the majority.  So, please come if you can, and if you can not, please refer to this website after the meeting for minutes!  Don’t forget, there will be yummy snacks!!

UPDATES JAN 2007

Happy New Year everyone!  Hope this finds everyone well.  As for me, I’ve been keeping very busy with the DRAGON Youth Project!  I am now facilitating two Girls Circle groups, and have one in the works for Durango High School.  I continue to facilitate Reconnecting Youth with students in the Robert E. DeNier Youth Services Center where we have just finished up with my second group.  I’ve also been working hard with Marc Goldfarb and Whitney, an FLC art student, to get the second “Choose Your Shoes” poster designed and out.  It is amazing and so much better than the first one.  I will have to bring some drafts with me to our next meeting.

Other than that, I have been working on community education in a few different ways.  I continue to do the “test your drug knowledge” with the Growth Ed group at La Plata Youth Services, which is great.  I have also met and talked with a few families requesting information about marijuana for their children, which has been both challenging and rewarding. 

I would love to hear what’s going on in your worlds!
