Spotlight December 2014 – We’d like to acknowledge the hard work and dedication of Florence Harrison, one of the founding members of the San Juan Island Prevention Coalition. Florence helped to write the grant in 2002-2003 with Burke Critchfield, that yielded our community the federal funds to create this Drug-Free Community (DFC) program! This grant was good for 10 years, and brought about $125,000 a year to our community which helped the SJIPC to support our SJISD prevention programs, Island Rec. family programs, Family Resource Center, Drug-Take Back Program, Project Grad Nite, Author Talks for parenting issues, to name a few events and other prevention projects in our community. Florence has been an active member of our Prevention Coalition, as well as, in our community, also helping to create the Family Umbrella Group among other programs. Thank you, Florence for all you do and the example you set to others. One person can make a big difference. We are grateful for your giving spirit!
Send us a note on someone you know that makes a difference in the lives of others. Take a photo, too! We have many unsung heroes right in our own backyard! Let’s celebrate them all! Thanks…
