To the Editor;
It is with sincere appreciation that we thank Police Chief Justin King, Principal Michael Devoll, Town Manager Michael Lorenco, and Village Signs for their support in raising awareness on National Overdose Awareness Day last week.
Overdoses affect every community – including ours. With the guidance, generosity, and leadership of these individuals and organizations, we were able to share the message: “It happens here too.”
We encourage parents and guardians to talk openly with their children. By fostering education, compassion, and understanding, we can continue working together to reduce overdoses. This is a time not only to act, but also to remember that every overdose is someone’s child. For us, two of them were our sons.
From,
Beth D. Oleson and Carol Lareau
