Prescription Drug Take Back Day
On Oct. 29, 2011 communities across Bucks County will participate in a national initiative designed to help reduce prescription drug abuse and to protect the environment by providing for safe disposal of potentially dangerous controlled substances from household medicine cabinets. The U.S. Drug Enforcement Administration's (DEA's) National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day provides an opportunity for the public to surrender expired, unwanted or unused prescription and over-the-counter medications for proper and safe destruction. More than 40 collection sites throughout the county will be open from 10 a.m. until 2 p.m.

Update from the new Bucks Promise Coordinator
Dear Fellow Bucks Promise Members,
I was recently provided with the opportunity to work as the part-time Program Coordinator for Bucks Promise for Youth & Communities. It is with great enthusiasm that I would like to introduce myself. In past years, prior to working for TODAY, Inc., as a trained Incredible Years Parenting Series facilitator, I served Bucks Promise as a member, Vice-Chair and briefly as Chair. Former Bucks Promise Program Coordinator, Shannon Hibbs greatly contributed her skills and knowledge to Bucks Promise and will continue to serve as an active member through representing the Bensalem coalition of “Building a Better Bensalem Together” as their Community Mobilizer.
Recently, I have started receiving emails concerning Bucks Promise and updates regarding upcoming events. In September, I look forward to meeting or seeing all of you again for the scheduled Strategic Planning Meeting; meeting details are to follow. We are not going to meet during the heat of the summer, July or August. The Meeting scheduled for July 27 is for the Executive Board of Bucks Promise.
With great anticipation, I look forward to the coming year and helping to facilitate bringing the promises to Bucks County.
Sincerely, Donna Foisy
