ANNOUNCEMENTS

Due to the impeding Tropical Storm, its potential impact, and concern for the safety of everyone, we have made the decision to cancel tomorrow's Shatter the Silence Event. We are overwhelmed with the response we have received for the event and will be rescheduling for a later date. Stronger Together-we are stronger when working towards a happy and healthy society. Region 5 Prevention Council and Community Partners.

The HTDPC is seeking to expand our membership to include more youth, family members and the business community so our membership better reflects the communities we service.
