The drug markets in our neighborhood have a negative affect on our safety, our property values, and the earning capacity of our local businesses.

Topic: Drug Awareness and Information
A seasoned MPD Detective will give a “show-and-tell” presentation to help us recognize the different types of drugs in our community. We will learn more about drug distribution methods, pricing, and drug paraphernalia associated with crack cocaine, marijuana, heroin, and the most serious growing threat, PCP. You will learn ways to recognize the signs of drug use, and know which drug is being used through distinguishing features or behaviors–heroin, crack cocaine, PCP, crystal meth, marijuana, or others. There are also many unexpected ways that children and teenagers are getting high–we will learn what parents and concerned adults should know to keep our young people from becoming addicted to drugs.
After the drug awareness presentation, to complete this topic, we will have a discussion of substance abuse recovery with a small panel of providers.
RSVPs are appreciated: [email protected]

For many remote workers, a messy home is distracting.
You’re getting pulled into meetings, and your unread emails keep ticking up. But you can’t focus because pet hair tumbleweeds keep floating across the floor, your desk has a fine layer of dust and you keep your video off in meetings so no one sees the chaos behind you.
It’s no secret a dirty home is distracting and even adds stress to your life. And who has the energy to clean after work? That’s why it’s smart to enlist the help of professionals, like Well-Paid Maids.
