Let’s Rethink “Set ‘em Up, Joe”
Late night show hosts make jokes about drinking and recreational drugs. There’s usually a story in everybody’s past about that memorable hangover morning-after. Movies have long centered on the off-kilter episodes that resulted from over-imbibing. But in today’s world those jokes and stories are being replaced by sobering tales of young people who took alcohol and drugs to a new dimension that is far from humorous.
To help parents respond to their children’s “issues” with substance abuse, The Greater Dallas Council on Alcohol and Drug Abusewill hold the 4th Annual “Healthy Young, Promising Futures” breakfast Thursday morning from 7:30 to 9 a.m. at the Doubletree Campbell Centre.
In addition to keynote speaker Chris Raymer, who will address “Demystifying Prevention and Addiction,” the following awards will be presented:
- Corporate Award – Burlngton Northern Santa Fe (No, Warren Buffet is not going to accept it.)
- Community Award – Dallas ISD
- Volunteer Award – Mrs. Cyndie Stanley
- Agent of Change Award – WT White High School “Street Team”
Yes, we know what you’re saying–”Gee, that’s awful early.” But that’s no excuse. You got an extra hour of sleep over the weekend and if honorary chair Ebby Halliday at the age of 98 can be there, you can, too.
