Fundraiser to benefit Mothers Against Meth (Kansas)

By Jean Plummer ‘Potpourri'

I want to once again thank Krystal Wallace and the Mothers Against Meth (MAMA's) group for their intense efforts to protect our young people and others from the destruction of the use of methamphetemines. Their educational efforts cost money. They supply booklets and other material, but give their time, gas money, etc., to carry their message to many groups and individuals.

To raise money for the booklets and a much needed projector/dvd player, they are having a fundraiser on June 10. A band, spaghetti dinner and silent auction will bring some fun and entertainment to the evening.

The event will be held at the Hot Rod Café in El Dorado (The old El Dorado Theater). The dinner is $5 and the money will be raised from the auction.

As I talk to more and more parents who are dealing with drug addicted children, it breaks my heart that they are going through these tough times, and that they did not recognize the symptoms sooner.

I was shocked to learn about the effects of meth and the destruction it causes. Let's help this group fully inform our community about this growing problem and help them help others. It touches all socio-economic groups, and no one is immune. For a program on information, a support group, or just how you can help, call Krystal at 322-8227, or e-mail her at: newlife_75@sbcglobal.net.
