Published 8:31 pm Monday, June 6, 2011
The CASS Community Coalition will hold its 2011 Smart Summer Campaign Kick Off today at 10 a.m.
Guest speakers will be Sen. John Proos, Rep. Matt Lori, Rep. Sharon Tyler, Sheriff Joseph Underwood and Prosecutor Victor Fitz.
The Smart Summer Campaign is the pioneering program of Kalamazoo Substance Abuse Task Force.
The 12-week campaign encourages and informs parents as to how to set boundaries, monitor activities and stay connected with their children.
The goal of the Smart Summer campaign is to increase parental involvement in their children’s lives in a positive pro-active manner, leading to a decrease in risky behaviors, such as substance abuse, in the lives of their children as well as other youth.
Smart Summer Campaign Kick Off will be held at the Cass County Historic Courthouse’s Kincheloe room, located at 120 North Broadway in Cassopolis.
