Since its inception in 1983, the Elks Drug Awareness Program has worked to prevent drug use by our youth through education. The Elks recognize that they are not experts in the field of drug education. However, we do have the resources -- in dollars, facilities and volunteers -- to work with the experts to ensure that young people know the facts about drugs. In addition to sponsoring seminars, workshops and drug-free functions, we print and distribute literature developed by authorities on drug awareness. Since 1983, we've printed and handed out more than 125 million pieces of literature to students, their teachers and their parents. We hope that through this resource center, we can reach even more people.

In March 2010, inspirational speak Milton Creagh "Bigg Milt" will be appearing at several local schools to discuss topics relating to Drug Awareness and our youth.  We encourage you to attend and listen to the inspirational words of "Bigg Milt".
