Boy and Girls Club of Souhegan to Host Legislative Breakfast

On April 19, from 8-9:30 a.m. CAST and the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley will host a legislative breakfast at the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley, 56 Mont Vernon Street, Milford, NH.

This legislative breakfast will give concerned citizens access to an open exchange of ideas and concerns, according to the group.

"It is our goal to bring together state and local officials representing the communities of the Souhegan Valley for breakfast and conversation about how the issue of substance abuse affects youth in our communities and how we can continue our work to educate and to promote healthy and safe activities that support our mission."

This event is hosted by CAST (Community Action for Safe Teens), a committee of the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley. CAST and the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley work together to promote healthy choices through awareness, action, and prevention of substance abuse. A committee of the Boys & Girls Club of Souhegan Valley, CAST has previously hosted "youth issues forums" to bring members of the community together to discuss issues affecting youth in our communities.

They also provide leadership and advocacy training for teens, conducted a "sticker shock" campaign in local retail outlets to educate adults about purchasing alcohol for minors and most recently formed a "flash mob" of local teen dancers to send out positive messages.
