Dr. Tseng will will share his research on marijuana and the teen brain with attendees. We specifically scheduled an event during the day and in the evening to make it easier for community members to attend at least one event. As always, Stand Strong Coalition is committed to continue providing community education so that we can all make informed decisions regarding the future of our communities. 
In support of Stand Strong Coalition’s goal to keep adult community members informed, we’re looking forward to March’s Monthly Meeting with special guest, Detective Eric Kaechele, from the Lake County Sheriff’s Gang Task Force. Detective Kaechele will share relevant issues the Task Force regularly faces in our community, as well as the terminology (street names/youth jargon) used, the dangers our kids are exposed to, and more importantly, the tell-tale signs of someone in trouble. Information that no doubt any parent and community member committed to staying informed will greatly appreciate.
The meeting is scheduled on Thursday, March 10th - 11:00 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. at Village of Lincolnshire Hall. Stand Strong Coalition Monthly Meetings are always open to parents, community members, businesses, local, state, and government officials.
