Thea Kratochvil.....Administrative & Event Coordinator Municipal Alliances are community based prevention organizations which are established in all 21 counties. Alliances plan, coordinate and conduct alcoholism, tobacco and other drug abuse prevention activities. Municipal Alliances provide over 3,800 prevention programs throughout the state. Established in 1989, the New Jersey Governor's Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse (GCADA) coordinates all state, county and local efforts regarding alcoholism, tobacco and other drug abuse in New Jersey. The Council has two major functions. One is to develop a yearly comprehensive Statewide Master Plan for Alcoholism, Tobacco and other Drug Abuse. The second is to administer the Municipal Alliance Program. The use of illicit drugs and inappropriate use of legal substances among young people remains unacceptably high. Substance abuse cuts across all socioeconomic, racial and ethnic boundaries affecting all of society. Approximately 504,000 New Jerseyans are alcohol dependant: at least 163,000 additional individuals are also drug dependent. Funding for the Alliance to prevent alcoholism and drug abuse and GCADA is provided by Drug Enforcement Demand Reduction (DEDR) fines. The fines are collected at the municipal level from persons convicted of drug related offenses and are used to help develop community focused substance abuse prevention programs. To find out how you can help, or become more involved in our community, please call our Alliance Coordinator at (732) 349-6425. _____________________________________________________________________________________ 2010 EVENTS The Pine Beach Municipal Alliance For Drug, Alcohol, and Tobacco Awareness and Prevention THE PINE BEACH MUNICIPAL ALLIANCE INVITES ALL TO THE 17 th ANNUAL WALK AGAINST DRUGSON FRIDAY, AUGUST 6 th(RAIN DATE: FRIDAY, AUGUST 13 th)At VISTA PARK Corner of Midland Avenue and Riverside Drive Registration at 5:00pm The Walk starts at 6:00pm Enjoy an evening in the park with a DJ, clown, face painting, raffles, games and refreshments Stroll along the path with family & friends while visiting different information tables from around Ocean County and playing games along the way Registration is $4.00 per person and includes a T-Shirt (while supplies last) Food will also be available for purchase For more information call (732) 349-6425 Please support our local food bank at St. Paul’s Lutheran Church in Beachwood.
