Table Talks hosts needed

FTCTC has been awarded a small grant from the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA) to conduct a series of Table Talks in our community. These are small, intimate gatherings of parents who know one another where a facilitator takes the group through a series of exercises related to youth alcohol use.

We are seeking parents of middle-schoolers to act as hosts for the Table Talks. Hosting duties are minimal: invite 5 to 10 friends who are parents of children ages 9 to 14 to your home for a discussion of underage drinking. We will provide the facilitator—we just need the homes and guests! The meetings take about two hours, and a simple refreshment (cookie and drink) will be provided by the host or by FTCTC.

PLEASE consider hosting a Table Talk for your friends. The deadline for completing these discussions is June 30, and we are in need of five more hosts.

To volunteer to host, or for more information, contact Sheryl Whittier at the FTCTC offices (236-9800 or mentors@fivetownctc.org).
