Drug Rehab At County Fair

Drug Education Given to Fair-Goers.

Narconon Drug Rehab recently hosted a booth at a local County Fair.

“We had a great response from fair-goers, including parents, children, teachers and politicians,” comments Mr. Gordon Weinand, Public Relations for Narconon Drug Rehab GA. “Many had heard of Narconon from our local Public Service Announcements played on radio stations, and all agreed that drug addiction is something we all needed to be concerned about.

“Over 800 kids signed a pledge promising to be drug-free, because Live Drug Free is a well received message universally” stated Mr. Weinand. "If the kids were too small to read, the parents read it to them, and then they signed, the best they could. There was no disagreement with this message here at the county fair. Everyone wants to have fun and drugs aren’t part of that.

By starting early in drug education efforts, we can avoid needless misery in families and communities in our city.”

Mr. Weinand was in the original Narconon program started in 1967 by William Benitez in the Arizona State Prison.

“I am happy to see how far Narconon has come in the last decades. By teaching kids that drugs aren’t cool, and keep them from using drugs, my dream for them to live a happy drug-free life can be a reality.

"Our booth had information on illegal drugs, including heroin, marihuana, cocaine, and methamphetamine. We had a tremendous response from kids and parents.
 
"Studies have shown that parents who educate their children on the dangers of drug addiction have a happy drug free family. We want to help all to avoid the problems associated with addiction and drug abuse. The kids sign a pledge that they will be drug-free. The parents have been very enthusiastic about this."
