I'm gearing up to join law enforcement, community and coalition members, and youth from all over the country for UDETC and OJJDP's “Spotlighting Community Solutions to Underage Drinking” national conference in Orlando, Florida next week. I wish I could say it will be a relief from the Missouri heat; but, alas, it will be like going from the roaster into the sauna (at least rain is in the forecast). No matter. Cafe Prevention will be setting up shop in the blissfully air-conditioned Rosen Shingle Creek hotel to show-off our brand new look - our first national "launch" so to speak since our site redesign last September.
If you attend, please do stop by our exhibit and say hello. Cafe Prevention will have several freebies, including our most popular Alcohol Poisoning wallet cards. I'll also have our Average Age rack cards, Tapping In postcards, Marijuana: Just the Facts brochure, and more. Plus, you can sign up for a chance to win $50 worth of free prevention products! While you're there, I'd love to hear your ideas on any new products you'd like to see - whether related to underage drinking, binge drinking, violence prevention, or other substance abuse. What are the issues in your community that could use our eye-catching, hard-hitting materials that inspire real change?
I'm very much looking forward to this exciting, informative (yes, those two things can go hand-in-hand), and motivational conference and bring home all the latest strategies in preventing underage drinking from successful programs across the nation.
