Drug Free Manatee has embarked on a Community Resilience and Recovery Initiative for our community. We invite you to join the conversation during our scheduled Community Listening Sessions on one or all of the following dates: April 28th in Bradenton, May 4th in Palmetto, and/or May 19th in Oneco. These meetings will begin at 6:00 p.m. and will last approximately one (1) hour. Specific locations are listed on the flyer. These collaborative and transparent sessions welcome and encourage every citizen to step up and make their voice heard. Getting the message out is paramount to the success of these listening sessions, therefore we at Drug Free Manatee would appreciate all efforts to spread the word and fill the rooms! Please reach out to me directly with questions or ways that you could support these events. Thank you. Thad Jensen Outreach Coordinator-Drug Free Manatee tjensen@drugfreemanatee.org
