EAP WELCOMES MR. GEORGE CHUVALO

The Base Commander and the Employee Assistance Program would like to invite 
you to a 90 minute session given by Mr. Chuvalo called "Fight against 
Drugs". George speaks to students, parents and other groups about how drugs 
have impacted his life. He has lost 3 sons and his wife as a result of 
substance abuse.

His graphic recollection of events and his expressive style enables him to 
convey his powerful message. The feedback he receives is positive, 
appreciative and encouraging. Being a father to a drug addict provides him 
with the insight and wisdom required to capture any listeners. 
Presentations are in high demand from coast to coast.

He de-glamorizes drugs giving examples of what he has witnessed first hand. 
One fact is true in that drugs always begin with experimentation. He also 
stresses that the fact that in the criminal system, the majority of crimes 
are committed as a result of drug abuse. In most cases, addicts turn into 
criminals, not criminals into addicts.

Mr Chuvalo will leave you with a message of hope for our future while 
inviting you into his private life experiences. So please take the time to 
come out to what is guaranteed to be a presentation that you won't forget. 
February 13th, 2003 Base Theatre, Bldg P119 10:00hrs (first session) 
13:30hrs (second session).
