DEA National Prescription Drug Take Back Day Saturday, September 25, 2010, 10am-2pm
The Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) is asking for your help. As you know, prescription drugs are being misused and abused at alarming rates throughout the United States. As part of our efforts to address this problem, DEA will be collecting potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs for destruction at sites nationwide on Saturday, September 25th from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. local time, all over the United States. The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked.
Social Justice Training Opportunity: Spring 2010
Again this year, Ingham County Health Department will be offering its "Health Equity and Social Justice Workshops." Nine workshops are offered in 2010, and I hope you will help me distribute information about them throughout the community.
You can download an application form (PDF), which briefly describes the workshops and a color-coded list of the workshop dates on a monthly calendar. The workshops are free and anyone is welcome to apply. Up to 10 non-ICHD employees will be accepted for each workshop. With one exception, the workshops are four full days in length (two consecutive days followed by two more consecutive days a few weeks later), and attendance on all days is required.
There is no deadline for applying; however the ten potential "community slots" for each workshop will probably fill up quickly, so please don't delay in sending me your application.
