Sue and Roy Hempel, Grandparents of Morgan Fawcett (Strang), are the heart of this event. Morgan is a 15 year old musician, and a young person who was born with FASD. Please see his attached story. We are planning an event to raise community awareness and partnership in honor of the FASD International Awareness Day. Morgan has a vision of supporting other FASD children who have been affected by this preventable disorder. Since he began on his path within the flute playing world, performers he has met have been impressed with his natural ability to play. He has progressed so naturally in the short year since he was given his first flute at age 14. Morgans wish is to come to Juneau, his place of birth and perform at a concert with Arvil Byrd, if funding permits. He also wishes to give the youth of Juneau what was gifted to him. The flute manufactures have donated 60 to 70 flutes for the young people who attend the concert. Our intention is to provide Morgan and his Grandparents the opportunity to give him a chance to fulfill his vision. The first Annual Wellness Walk and FASD International Awareness Day kick off for the week will also include assemblies, workshops, and personal appearances throughout the community by Morgan Fawcett, his Grandparents, and Arvil Byrd. Arvil Byrd, $1,500 per performance. See attached information.

This event will bring awareness of the damage to the delicate fetus that is developing within the mother if she choses to consume substances which is prevention of FASD.

Title	2007 Solano Recovery Day-Sixth Annual Rally and Barbeque
Description	The Solano Prevention and Recovery Alliance (SPRA) and the Fighting Back Partnership join in sponsoring the Sixth Annual Rally and Barbeque to celebrate National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. Recovering is hard to do Solano County celebrates addiction recovery in Vallejo By ANDREA WOLF /Vallejo Times-Herald staff writer The sleeves of faded blue prison tattoos covering Ronald Rikers arms and the scars on his face are proof his life has not been easy. Rikers, 47, started drinking and smoking marijuana at 8 years old, and had moved onto methamphetamine and other drugs by age 11. After spending decades in and out of prison, Rikers, of Vallejo, has now been sober for almost two years, and credits the Genesis House with his ability to keep his life together. "I have so much gratitude for the people there," Rikers said of the Genesis House, a long-term recovery program in Vallejo. "They gave me a chance and saved my life." Similar stories of addiction and recovery were abundant Saturday at the sixth annual Solano Recovery Day Celebration held at City Park in Vallejo. Hundreds of people came out for the event and enjoyed the music, free barbecue and a chance for recovering addicts and their loved ones to come out and celebrate being sober. "It's great to get everyone out so members of the community can see the stereotypes of what recovering addicts look like are not real," said Dennis Wade, an event organizer. "Events like this help fight the stigma." Many recovery organizations and 12-step programs from around the county came out for the party sponsored by the Solano County Prevention and Recovery Alliance and the Vallejo Fighting Back Partnership. "I can't put words to what it's like to see all these old friends together today," Rikers said. "It is like one big family get-together out here." The theme this year was "Saving Lives, Saving Dollars," a message to the community that spending tax dollars on addiction treatment is a wise investment and incarceration for addicts does not productively address the illness, Wade said. "If the state spends $35,000 to $50,000 incarcerating an addict for a year, at the end of it you have someone who served time," Wade said. "If you spend $8,000 to $10,000, which is what it costs for a year of recovery treatment, you have someone who is sober, ready to work and a contributing member to society." In addition to speakers and personal testimonies from the recovery community, three people were rewarded with the James McCarver Jr. award, which recognizes those in Solano County who have worked tirelessly in areas of substance abuse and treatment. "Today is about taking the time to celebrate those who are part of the solutions rather than those people or things that are part of the problem," said Donna Wapner, who was awarded the James McCarver award for her work as an addiction studies educator at Diablo Valley College. "We all have 'aha!' moments in our life. Times when we see things start to make sense that we did not see before. Meaningful education triggers 'aha!' moments, and it is one of the keys that will finally open the door to more effective, researched policy and treatment options." Other award recipients were John Allen, a community activist for the Vallejo Fighting Back Partnership, and Gloria Flores, a substance abuse therapist for Dixon Family Service. Recovery organizations came from all over the county to network with one another and just enjoy a party with people who have been through similar struggles. "It's good for people to know that they are not alone. Everyone here has something in common," said Renee Prusso, an assimilator for the Solano Valley Church Celebrate Recovery Group in Fairfield. Held in Fairfiled the last five years, this was the first time the Solano Recovery Day has been held in Vallejo. "We had a little competition today from other events, but this has been a great turn out," Wade said. "We want to try and reach as many people in the county as we can."

Title	RecoveryAthens.Org Website Launch
Description	The School of Social Work at the University of Georgia has launched RecoveryAthens.org, a web-based initiative by social work students to offer information and support to individuals with addictions in the UGA and Athens community. The site is being launched in September to coincide with the 18th annual observance of National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. RecoveryAthens.org contains screening tools that people can use to see if they have a problem, said Donna Bliss, assistant professor in the School of Social Work, whose graduate students in the class Clinical Practice with Addictive Disorders developed the website. There is also information on treatment options in the area and information for professionals, she said. Bliss and her students hope RecoveryAthens.org will help educate people on the problems that substance abuse disorders are associated with in the community including poverty, crime, homelessness, and dropping out of school. We want to bring this connection to light and offer ways that the community can respond proactively to substance abuse problems. We also want to highlight the message that recovery is possible, said Bliss.

Title	SAMHSA Sponsored-Recovery Month Open House/Fall Festival
Description	September is Recovery Month. It is a time for those recovering from alcohol and other drug addictions to celebrate their sobriety. I want to share with you what Cascade County is doing for Recovery Month as well as invite any and all to join us in the spirit of celebration. On August 29, 2007, Governor Brian Schweitzer held a press conference at the State Capitol in Helena. He opened and closed his speech with Treatment Works. That spoke volumes to the crowd on hand. Roger Curtiss from Gateway Recovery Services was one of the three speakers present that offered personal stories of recovery. Thus, giving hope that Treatment Works. To begin the celebration, on September 4th, Great Falls Mayor Stebbins has signed a Proclamation naming the month of September 2007 as National Alcohol and Drug Addiction Recovery Month. The Proclamation calls upon the citizens and businesses of Great Falls to advocate the treatment and prevention of drug and alcohol addiction. Gateway Recovery is having an Open House on Friday, September 14, 2007 at our new renovated location at 1220 Central Avenue in Great Falls. Gateway Recovery Services along with Meth Free Cascade County Task Force is putting on the recovery celebration at Gibson Park in Great Falls on September 16, 2007. On September 16, 2007 in the beautiful Gibson Park in Great Falls our celebration will get underway with a Meth Free Walk for Recovery beginning at 2:00p.m. The park has a lovely, paved walking path and we are encouraging families to bring a picnic lunch and spend the entire day celebrating sobriety. On the Park lawn, Gateway is going to have a canopy tent with several community affiliations representing--Cascade County Health Department, Job Corps, Gateway Recovery, Meth Free Cascade County, Cascade County Extension Office and Members of the Little Shell Chippewa Tribes doing their part in education and prevention for the treatment of drugs and alcohol addictions. We will also have a Jolly Jumper, Human Bowling, Sumo Wrestling Suits, and Face Painting. We are also going to have a dunking booth themed Dunk a Doughnut This is where Cascade County Fire Fighters and Cascade County Sheriffs Department and Police Officers will volunteer their time to get wet for the community celebration. We have also been sponsored by Meadow Gold and will have ice cream bars free to the public.

At 3:00 p.m. our local Deputy County Attorney John Parker, who is currently campaigning for State Attorney General, will give a speech about Saving Lives, Saving Dollars. Mr. Parker is a strong advocate of addiction recovery and, in the last legislative session, he sponsored bills to increase funding for adult as well as juvenile courts.

Title	20th Annual Behavioral Health Conference - "Returning to the Center: Sharing the Vision"
Description	A RETURN TO THE CENTER: "SHARING THE VISION." The theme for our 20th Annual Behavioral Health Conference was chosen by the He Sapa (Black Hills) Behavioral Health Team to represent our final sponsorship of this annual conference. It is with many memories, laughter, sadness, kindness, respect and honor that we pass the Staff on to our younger Relatives. We hope the Vision continues to bring sobriety, wellness, health, resiliency and hope to our Relatives, Individuals, Families, Communities, and our Tribal Nations. The Cycle of Life best represents the twenty years of the Conference which began with the Vision in 1986. The Vision began with several committed volunteers in the Rapid City, SD community who felt the need to provide awareness to our People about alcoholism/drug addiction, recovery, sobriety and wellness. One such committed person was MaDonna Beard who was deeply respected and admired for her compassion and love for her People. MaDonna has since passed into the Spirit World. Her spirit, commitment and dedication still live in our memories. Another committed relative is Walter "Hap" Carlin who is still "carrying the message" and is still involved on our He Sapa Behavioral Health Team. Their vision represents the infancy of the conference in 1986. Since 1986 we have provided awareness with many gifted and talented individuals who shared up-to-date clinical knowledge, skills and experiences with our conference attendees. The conference has grown form infancy to youth, from youth to adult, from adult to elder. It has come Full Circle and another Vision must be created and shared so "Our People May Live."

Title	"Trail of Light" Recovery Music CD Release
Description	Coinciding with National Recovery Month, "Trail of Light" (Gracie Vandiver & Friends/Note To Self Recordings) produced by songwriter and author Gracie Vandiver, is set for release on September 4, 2007. The collection of songs on "Trail of Light" reflect the journey from alcoholism and addiction to a new life in recovery. The first twelve songs lyrically address the emotional twists and turns on the path, capturing "What it was like," "What happened," and "What it's like now." The fifteen-song journey concludes with "A vision for you," offering songs of hope and inspiration to maintain solid footing in day-to-day recovery. Upon listening, award-winning recording artist, Kathy Mattea, remarked, "In only three minutes, a song can cut through all the mental chatter and open up our senses. Lyrically, anyone in recovery will recognize the struggles and victories, large and small, in these stories. A real treasure." The compilation includes music from a variety of talented artists and award-winning songwriters such as Paul Williams, Mary Gauthier, and Jon Vezner, offering many different vocal styles and musical genres. "My hope is that treatment centers and Alcohol & Drug Counselors will incorporate using the music on 'Trail of Light' with their patients in a therapeutic setting, and that members of the recovery community will embrace 'Trail of Light' by including it in their personal spiritual toolkits," says the CD's creator, Gracie Vandiver, adding, "Music with lyrics specifically addressing the journey of recovery is a wonderful tool for recovery support. It's very easy to relate to - - and it's portable!" Vandiver, who penned six songs on the CD, will take the stage with 2006 Kerrville New Folk Finalist Sonia Lee, to perform music from "Trail of Light" for recovery community professionals during the annual Association For Addiction Professionals (NAADAC) conference on September 8th at Nashville's Renaissance Hotel. The conference is co-hosted by The Tennessee Association of Alcoholism & Drug Abuse Counselors (TAADAC) and the National Association of Lesbian and Gay Addiction Professionals (NALGAP). Vandiver notes, "It will be a real honor to share the messages of recovery that these songs hold with professionals who make such a positive impact in the recovery community." "Trail of Light" is available at SunlightOfTheSpirit.com, an Internet store exclusively selling CDs from artists in recovery. SunlightOfTheSpirit.com has the largest selection of twelve-step and recovery music available for dealing with alcoholism and addiction in all its forms.

Location	Lewis Davis CME Church 528 Baltimore Memphis, Tennessee 38111 Reverend Wesley D. Smith, Pastor
Program Agenda	Celebrating Recovery: The Ties That Bind Sharing with fellow addicts is a basic tool in our program. This help can only come from another addict. It is this help that says, I have had something like that happen to me, and I did this For anyone who wants our way of life, we share experience, strength, and hope instead of preaching and judging. If sharing the experience of our pain helps just one person, it was worth the suffering. We strengthen our own recovery when we share it with others who ask for help. If we keep what we have to share, we lose it. Words mean nothing until we put them into action. Narcotics Anonymous, page 56 Opening Harold Adams Song Arlen Berry Remarks Reverend Wesley D. Smith Call and Response Byron Williams Regina Quinones Sharing Johnnie Daniels Regina Quinones Byron Williams Closing and Dismissal Reverend Wesley D.

Title	VAPA & Vermont Alcohol & Drug Certification Board Fall Conference-SAMHSA Sponsored
Description	Members of the caring professions often serve in environments that put them at risk for litigation, license complaints, media investigations, scandals and other difficult situations. There is nothing in our professional education that adequately prepares us to prevent or survive such circumstances. Such calamities, while rare, are devastating to the clinician's career and personal wellbeing. We will examine the situations that put us at risk such as client violence or suicide. The process of license complaint investigations, media coverage and litigation will be explored with the goal of decreasing the fear associated with potentially being a subject of such dilemmas. (6 Ethics CEU's) NOTE: This is a FREE conference and lunch will be provided. If the online registration is closed call VAPA voice mail at 866-482-3222 to learn if space is available for walk-ins.
