SUPPORTING THE SFCIA

Dear Editor

My family relocated to Sneads Ferry two years ago. Since moving here, we 
have been reminded that all communities are battling many of the same 
problems. My opinion is that the strength to fight these problems lies 
within the people and their communities.

I am pleased to say this is a community that is willing to band together to 
make a safe, happy and healthy place for all to live. The implementation of 
the SFCIA (Sneads Ferry Citizens in Action) is an example of concerned 
citizens taking action to foster and promote a drug free community.

The war against drugs is not going to be won soley by local law enforcement 
officials. It will need to be fought in our living rooms, in our schools 
and by community members becoming actively involved. The shared desire and 
active participation of the people in Sneads Ferry to see their community 
become drug free will create the positive change we all want to see.
