CRYSTAL METH TOPIC OF ADDICTIONS AWARENESS LUNCHEON

Brandon's Addictions Awareness Week board is planning on highlighting
the dangers of crystal meth during the week, which runs from Nov. 20-26.

The Brandon Friendship Centre will host a luncheon and a crystal meth
presentation on Wednesday, Nov. 23. The speaker will then also visit
Harrison Middle School the same day.

"We're really trying to reach more people with this presentation --
kids, adults, business people," said Yolanda Ducharme, Addictions
Awareness board member.

This year's theme for Addictions Awareness Week is "It's OK to say no
to drugs."

The board will be giving out awareness posters and bracelets that say
"High on Life," during the week.

To get tickets for the Nov. 23 luncheon, call Yolanda Ducharme at 728-
8520 or Robin.
