MARLBORO HOSTS DRUG INFO SESSION

Drug awareness will be heightened in Marlboro after Nov. 20.

Edson Leader -- That's when Marlboro Community Health Council, Alberta
Alcohol and Drug Abuse Commission, Edson RCMP and Edson Community Health
Services will host a Meth 101 and Mocktail Party.

The idea to have an information session on drugs sprouted from a health
fair in Marlboro, said Dixie Ploentzke, one of the event's organizers.
There will be speakers, mocktails and desserts during the two-hour event.
All ages are welcome to attend.

"One of our goals is to get parents and children involved together," said
Ploentzke.

She added she doesn't have much knowledge about drugs or methamphetamine.

"Quite a few of us in the area know it's a bad thing but we don't know
about drugs. It's an awareness. The problem is everywhere," said Ploentzke.

The Meth 101 and Mocktail Party will be held on Nov. 20 from 1:30 to 3:30
p.m. at Marlboro Community Hall.
