Our speaker this week was  Judy Moffit, Co-Chair of the Friends of Recovery for Washington and Warren Counties. Judy gave us an in depth look at the issues surrounding not only opioid addiction but all types of addictions.  She provide a quiz (see attached) about the recent facts regarding the deaths related to drug overdose.  She also talked about the problems of people who are addicted that end up in jail and get placed on a waiting list for help all the while drugs surround them in jail.  A very tough road for anyone to recover from.   

 

For those who missed the evening meeting at Coopers Cave, it was low attendance but successful.  We had fun and the Rotarians who attended learned more about Rotary and each other.  Thanks to all those who attended.  Another evening meeting will be scheduled in August.
