Posted on Fri, Sep. 03, 2004 Drug awareness program long a part of Gulfport Elks Gulfport Elks Lodge #978 is preparing to celebrate its 100th-year anniversary in July. This week, the lodge highlights its drug awareness program, which it has run for several years. In 2003-04, B.J. Byrd was the chairman of the committee with a very active committee of seven: Peggy McGrew, Ed Byrd, Maxine Nix, Elliott McGrew, Mike Reynolds, Chuck Tolar and Wade Turner. Extra volunteer help came from Laurie and Anthony Reynolds, and Jacque and Steve Gates. The group organized and delivered drug awareness literature to 31 schools in Hancock and Harrison counties, including the areas of Gulfport, Saucier, Long Beach, Pass Christian, Pineville, Lizana and Woolmarket. There were 72,800 pieces of literature delivered to more than 16,000 students; about 2,500 were returned for judging by the committee and volunteers. This committee sorted, delivered, retrieved and judged posters, putting in 197 hours and driving 850 miles to complete this project. Awards were given for first, second and third places for kindergarten through eighth grades for winning posters. Pineville Elementary was the overall winner for the second year in a row, for the school with the most participation for poster competition, with 230 out of 286 entered. The traveling trophy was presented to Principal Jackie Graves. Joseph Cuevas of Hancock County was the individual winner for the poster titled "I'd rather go fishing than do drugs." This poster is displayed on U.S. 90 in front of the Elks Lodge.

Her'e a hell of a web site that I'm surprised the government makes public as it could serve as a tool for druggees to learn new techniques.
Then again, if more honest people were aware of how this shit becomes available they might help stop some of it. -

Griswold man spearheads Elks National Drug Awareness Program TOM MCMAHON, Staff Writer 11/23/2004 Email to a friend Voice your opinion Printer-friendly Staff photo/Tom McMahon - Kent Gade has been directing the Elks National Drug Awareness Program for the past seven years, officially being named its national director this July. The former Griswold High School teacher and coach operates Gade Insurance Age GRISWOLD - As drug "czars" go, Kent Gade is pretty low key. In fact, he says he is somewhat shy. Yet the 59-year-old former Griswold High School teacher and coach said his passion against youth drug use overcomes whatever reticence he might have. Gade's Rolodex has a couple White House staff members and drug policy executives in it. He doesn't tell you that to name drop, but so you understand how well-known and thought of the Elks National Drug Awareness Program he directs really is.

Bayonne teens attend leadership conference sponsored by state Elks Friday, February 04, 2005 By Christian Niedan Journal staff writer Several Bayonne high school students will learn about becoming leaders in their community with the help of a local organization. The New Jersey State Elks Association will host students from around the state at the 11th Annual Peer Leadership Conference today through Sunday at the Hyatt Regency in New Brunswick with theme of "Elks and Youth: Building Character." Among those attending will be 12 students from Bayonne High School and four from Holy Family Academy. Henry E. Harris School Principal Fran Doyle, who is the district's peer leadership coordinator, noted that schools like Bayonne High - which has attended the annual event since its inception - have "always found it to be one of the best conferences for students because the Elks are committed to helping students." The conference will focus on making good choices regarding alcohol, tobacco, drugs and other issues. Among the events will be keynote addresses and interactive workshops. "When students are taught the skills and are empowered to address some problems, then change begin(s) to happen," said Superintendent of Schools Patricia L. McGeehan. "It is up to the students to learn, focus and develop plans to make the changes that will secure a positive, healthy future for their peers, of course, with the help of parents and teachers."
