CSAW Web Site Has New Focus

CSAW (Clearwater Substance Abuse Workgroup) launched a new web site in August. Members have pledged themselves to preventing and reducing substance abuse in Clearwater County. The “It’s Not O.K” logo is used to compliment information about substance awareness, especially the theme Underage Drinking … It’s Not O.K. A new feature is our “Spotlight Corner,” which currently lists a parent alert about morning glory seeds. Students are purchasing these seeds in garden sections of stores, but not for what you think. Visit our web site to find out more. You will also be able to explore our parents’ corner, news and media, a community calendar, and local resources. The web site will be updated monthly to provide new information. To view our new website log in to www.csaw-orofino.org.

CSAW was awarded $14,310.72 from Benchmark for the upcoming 2009/2010 media campaign. So what is this money used for? Things like the advertising “Take A Stand” or the “It’s Not O.K” billboards on Highway 12 are funded through the contract. A new bright billboard is coming this fall featuring “Life is Not a Game”. The media funding also covers advertising in the Clearwater Tribune, KLER Radio Spots, updates to the new CSAW web site, and funding to help out the Orofino Police Department with compliance checks and education.

If you have any questions, you may contact CSAW at csaw@suddenlink.net or use the web site to contact board members individually.
