Over the past couple of months, the Out of the Dark Movement has been involved in the planning of a statewide prescription drug prevention campaign with the Arkansas Drug Director’s Office and many organizations from around the State of Arkansas.
As a concerned person who understands that we have to take control of this growing epidemic in our community I want to invite you to the state press conference to kick off this new campaign: Monitor, Secure, Dispose.
The state press conference will take place this Friday, March 12, 2010 at 10:30 a.m. in the second floor rotunda of the State Capitol Building in Little Rock, Arkansas.
