EFFORTS MADE FOR A DRUG & ALCOHOL FREE RESERVE

Editor:

I would like to tell you a story about myself in the past and how I 
loved to drink with my friends. Sooner or later I really got into it 
and almost lost everything that worked really hard for. I was a bush 
worker and made good money but it didn't last.

My wife Nancy and I talked for a long time about having a drug and 
alcohol free reserve, and finally my wife went to the doctor's office 
and met this new doctor in town and talked about people drinking too 
much and taking drugs.

So my wife and Dr. Ter Har set up a meeting and invited very important people.

Hopefully this turns out well because our people have suffered long 
enough. They need to sober up from drugs and alcohol.

Our young people need to change and grow in a good manner; therefore 
we need to change our attitude for what they see in you they follow 
your foot steps.

So let's give a try for our young generation; let's teach our young 
people for their future. Let's get together and work with our young 
people to get them on the right track.

I am looking forward to have a drug and alcohol free
reserve.

Our people need to change for their young people. If I can do it, they
can do it.

By Your truly, James Williams
