The topic of the upcoming WHCSA meeting is extremely timely in light of the recent events which have occurred in Nassau County and in the Town of Hempstead. Fortunately we, in West Hempstead, have not been a victim of serious drug use among our young. But, knowledge is the best defense we have to protect our children and keep our community safe.
The West Hempstead Community Support Association is having a Community Meeting on Thursday, Oct. 22 starting at 7;30 PM in the West Hempstead Middle School Cafeteria. The program will be on "Protecting our children and Community".
We have invited members of the Fifth Precinct POP Unit to present a program, with exhibits, to better educate parents and students of the escalating use and availability of the illegal drugs in Nassau County. Most parents are unfamiliar with various drug paraphernalia and some of the items are beginning to show up in some convenience stores and elsewhere. Education of both parents and students is the best defense to protect both the family and the community.
This meeting is to encourage everyone to take a proactive position on dealing with an escalating problem. Being informed is one of the best ways to stop a potential problem before it begins.
We encourage students and parents to attend this community meeting. For further information, please contact me at 485-5132.
