is it?

The
board is part of a program called BUSTED!
It is a teen (ages 14-17) driven anti-alcohol,
tobacco and other drugs (ATODs) advocacy group which speaks out
against the tobacco companies and their targeting of youth in
advertising, as well as other ATOD issues. The meetings consist
of education/discussions of tobacco, alcohol, and other drug issues,
project planning, speakers, etc.
We
meet the 2nd Wednesday of every month freom 6-8 p.m. at the
Perry Human Services office in New Bloomfield. We also have
quarterly meetings with the Cumberland County YAB.
