Speakers

Our program this week is, The Buchanan County Addiction Help Now, which is a newly formed opioid task force that consists of multiple organizations from the St Joseph area.

The Missouri Department of Health and Senior Services (DHSS) selected St. Joseph as one of nine locations to host an Opioid Summit in 2017. On November 14, 2017, the City of St. Joseph Health Department was honored to host the Missouri Opioid Summit in St. Joseph, held at the Fulkerson Center on the campus of Missouri Western State University. The summit welcomed experts from around the state to speak about different aspects of the opioid crisis gripping our nation and our state.

 

Our program this week is Jonathan Mize, chairman of the newly formed, Atchison Area Community Foundation, and Vern Henrick, president of the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation.

Even though many hopefully  attended one of the "kick off" meetings over the past couple days, announcing our community's new foundation, Jonathan and Vern will be on hand to inform all Roatarins of this new organization, and the role it will play in our community. As well as, how / why the Greater Manhattan Community Foundation is involved.   

Can you hear me now? If not, maybe it's time to switch phone companies!  Find out more about and how to ditch the "Big Three", and how / what Rainbow Communications is doing in our area, in providing better fiber optic solutions, and services. 

Our program this week is, Nichole Honeywell with the Atchison Elementary School, to bring us up to date on AES's Emotional Learning Program.

What an interesting program this will be. Don't miss it!

Whoever said that the days of a "liquid lunch" is long gone?!  Not with this weeks program it's not!
