Families Against Narcotics Community Meeting
1/10/2017 9:00:00 AM - Public Relations

Please be advised there will be an informal community meeting beginning at 5:30pm in the Seniors Room at Tribal Operations Thursday, January 12 to discuss starting a SCIT Mid-Michigan chapter of Families Against Narcotics (FAN).  Founded in 2007, Families Against Narcotics is a grassroots organization originating in Fraser, Michigan.

Eight years ago, close to 100 sad, angry and frustrated people gathered at a town hall meeting in the basement of Christ United Church in Fraser to discuss the recent deaths of several young people from heroin overdoses.

Many of the attendees were grieving the loss of a loved one, others were suffering the nightmare of addiction themselves or dealing with an addicted loved one, some were in recovery, others were school personnel, law enforcement, community leaders, and concerned citizens. All shared a common concern, our kids were dying.

Why was this happening and what could we do about it?  On behalf of the families against narcotics, we ask you to come join us for this important beginning to work toward a solution together.
