Earl Boyd - NCD Chairman earlboydsr@sbcglobal.net |
|
This committee is
responsible for promoting Grand Lodge and CHEA drug awareness programs
at the district level. Grand Lodge provides pamphlets, comic books, and
other materials to the lodges for distribution to children, parents, and
schools. These help educate the children and parents about the dangers
of drugs. Grand Lodge and
CHEA also conduct drug awareness poster and essay contests for
elementary and middle school students with awards are given to the
winners. The lodges are encouraged to participate in promoting these
programs. Information on
the contests, literature, and reports is found on the website at http://www.chea-elks.org/drugawareness.html. Several lodges in the NCD participate in the drug awareness program by distributing drug awareness bookmarks in dictionaries which are given to students; others distribute materials at parades or sports events, i.e., hoopshoot and soccer shootouts. Drug Awareness chairmen are encouraged to discuss their programs with other NCD lodge chairmen in promoting drug awareness. Quarterly reports are required from the lodge chairmen for statistical purposes. These in turn are compiled in a district report which is sent to the CHEA chairman. His report goes to the Grand Lodge where all statistics are compiled and used to promote Elkdom. |
