Subject: YOUTH to YOUTH needs your help!
Sent: Aug 12, 2009 7:58 AM TOO often nowadays we are seeing our children being pushed to the wayside. The opportunities to fall between the cracks are becoming greater and more imminent as our recreation centers and libraries continue to lose funding and shut down. We have to show our support for these programs while we STILL have time! Read the letter below from a program that could potentially suffer a sad fate at the hands of the current state of the economy...
The current economic situation is challenging. Youth to Youth is facing the reality of budget cuts as a result of the recent State budget and economic downturn. We have made every effort to refocus our effort to reduce our costs while maintaining or even increasing our ability to provide prevention services. “Doing more with less” is too often uttered in situations like this. The reality is that the Franklin County ADAMH Board has proposed disproportionately large targeted cuts towards Youth to Youth, thus threatening our ability to offer Youth to Youth programming. We need your help by Friday, August 14!! By clicking the appropriate link and forwarding the provided email you will make a huge impact. Please take another minute and leave a message for Franklin County, Ohio ADAMH Board CEO, David Royer at 614-224-1057, saying “Youth to Youth is important, please restore funding for Youth to Youth.” Alumni Link: http://youthtoyouth.net/tinc?key=xRv3lYpJ&formname=Alumni Teen Link: http://youthtoyouth.net/tinc?key=xRv3lYpJ&formname=

The goal of its many projects is harnessing the powerful influence of peer pressure-- making it a positive force that encourages young people to live free of tobacco, alcohol and other drugs. (Via
