Celebrate Healthy Teens!


Please join us in celebrating the 6th Annual ALCOHOL-FREE WEEKEND on May 1 through 3 by pledging to stay alcohol free for one weekend, just before prom and graduation.
The mission of this weekend is to demonstrate to our young people that adults do not always choose to drink alcohol each weekend and that we can have fun without alcohol! It also reminds parents each spring to talk to their teens about the risks of underage drinking.

The Burlington Drug & Alcohol Task Force is holding a kickoff celebration on the Burlington Common on Friday May 1, 5-7pm. Free pizza and sodas will be served while families enjoy music performed by Burlington youth!

Burlington has taken a stand to teach young people to make healthy choices. Each spring, communities brace for the inevitible loss of a young life. Burlington takes this pro-active stand to reduce the risk of tragedy.

  1. Charlie,

    This is completely out of context to your blog, and I abhor putting this out there in such a public forum, but hey, you can always delete it.

    ANYWAY, we, the Arundel Class of 1978 believe that you are "our" Charlie, from the Drop In way back when Crofton MD.

    As we are all well past middle age (ahem, some of us more than others) we don't have a whole lot of energy or time. But me, being an Academic Librarian considered myself up to the task of tracking you down and sending you this riduculous message.

    At this juncture, I should say that if you are NOT 'Our Charlie', then you have our sincere apologies. But, since I think you are, and if you're willing to admit that's the case, the following message is for you:

    We, the Croftonites of 1978 would just like to say "Thank You"; you made a difference in our lives with your music and your guidance and your compassion. Indeed, we are pleased to see that you are still devoting yourself to helping teens this very day. Heck! They could be our sons or daughters...

    If you do not monitor this blog, then that is unforutnate. But if you do, we wonder if you might consider coming to our reunion Oct 2nd in Columbia, Maryland?

    X-Croftonite and current Academic Librarian,

    Judy Brink
    (and a substantial portion of the class of 1978)
