Happy 2023! West River Valley Thrives is hosting the first Coalition meeting of the new year and we hope you can join us!
When?
The meeting will be held Wednesday January 25th at 4pm, in the Conference Room at Leland & Gray Middle and High School. We will have both an in-person and virtual option, please contact Meg Gonzalez at wrvtdirector@gmail.com for the Zoom link and Call in information.
Why Should You Attend?
Thrives relies on the information that our Coalition partners share with us about what is going well and where there are challenges that may be keeping our West River Valley families from thriving.
Hearing from you, our boots on the ground, is particularly important now because we know that the landscape has changed since the pandemic, yet the data that we rely on to help us understand how it is changing (such as the Youth Risk Behavior Survey), is not current. The Coalition is starting out the new year with several new faces, some new initiatives, and local updates to share.
What Should You Expect?
SNACKS if you are comfortable with being in person (rain check for those who need the virtual option).
An opportunity to expand your "rolodex" 😊 as we introduce ourselves and share what brings us to the Coalition.
A discussion about shared responsibility to address youth vaping. We will be reflecting on these three questions: 1.What is my role in the community? 2. What is my responsibility regarding vaping in my current role? How can I empower others around this issue?
Updates regarding commercial cannabis in the West River Valley.
