Hello coalition members, 

 

We have had a busy summer full of travel and events!

 

Our CCDP June 2023 highlights include: 

      • TNSTRONG and TTI were both amazing! Check out the pictures of our youth coalition attending both in the youth coalition section below. 
      • Summer Kickoff Picnic in South Hills! We were able to provide lock boxes, overdose response kits and resources to members of this amazing community. 
      • eSports! We have had a great time spending three days each week at Parks and Rec in the eSports gaming lab. Check out the flyer below for more opportunities to join us this summer.
      • Mario's Power Up Party! This was such a successful event & we love partnering with Elizabethton Parks & Rec and Elizabethton/Carter County Public Library. Check out the pictures of this in the youth coalition section below as well. 
      • Rainbow Festival! Shout out to Insight Alliance for letting us share their booth space at this awesome event! 
      • We love to support Bridge to Shore Recovery in way that we can & especially enjoyed helping at their "Recovery Jam." See pictures below.
       
      Thanks for your support. We could not do we do without our amazing community.
