Forwarding a Drug-Free Revolution in Las Vegas - Kids Become Drug-Free Marshalls at Sunday Barbeque
Advertisement
Kids were grinning with funny painted faces, eating barbeque and being mystified by magic at the Foundation For a Drug-Free World Event on Sunday, February 12th.
Kids got a good basic education about drugs and the harm they do from the "Truth About Drugs" booklets and all were sworn in as Drug-Free Marshalls and got their Marshall's Badge to prove it! Getting sworn in as Drug-Free activated them to tell other kids about being a Drug-Free Marshall and swear others in, and so it goes, forwarding the Drug-Free revolution in Las Vegas. LV Metro PD is also using the Foundation's materials to educate kids about drugs within the D.A.R.E. program in local schools.
"We are very concerned about the amount of drugs on school grounds in Las Vegas", Reverend Devon C. Newman, Director of Public Relations for the Church told Channel 13 News. "These materials give kids the real truth drug dealers won't tell them, like what's really in Crystal Meth and what the drugs will do to their bodies."
The Foundation for a Drug-Free World held the free Barbeque & Show at the Church of Scientology and Celebrity Center, 2761 Emerson Avenue, off Eastern Avenue, just south of Desert Inn.
On the big screen inside the Celebrity Centre the Foundation showed their award winning Anti-Drug Public Service Announcement series, "They Said, They Lied" and the award winning documentary, "The Truth About Drugs", featuring ex-addicts and their experiences.
