Latah Recovery Center Supporter:

As I prepared for a couple of important fundraising presentations I did a little research on changes in local crime rates. I think you will be pleased by the data I found. It is in the press release I copied below.
I thank you for YOUR part in making this happen.
Yours Truly,
Darrell

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Drug and alcohol related crimes are significantly down in Moscow.
Moscow measures crime in 36 categories. 23 of those categories are down from 2013 to 2016. More importantly, crimes the Latah Recovery Center likely impacts are down substantially: drug related calls down 28%, alcohol offenses down 51%, and intoxicated persons down 30%.
In speaking with Moscow Police Chief Fry to determine if there were any procedural or enforcement changes that might account for these large drops, he said that first time alcohol possession had changed from a misdemeanor to an infraction. No other significant changes on his end. He believes the opening of both the Community Hospital Association of Spokane clinic and Latah Recovery Center around 2013, and the Hope Center’s continued efforts deserve much of the credit.
###

Syringa Shindig!
Unitarian Universalist Church of the Palouse | Friday, May 18 | 6:00-10:00 PM
$20 per person suggested donation, kids 12 & under are free
After struggling for many years, Syringa Mobile Home Park is closing for good on June 5. We’re organizing a community dance party on Friday, May 18 to raise money to help residents with their relocation costs. Residents have indicated that any amount of money–to help pay for a storage unit, a moving truck, or even a lick of paint in their new homes–would be helpful. The UUCP has generously agreed to host the event. We’re planning to have a grand old time, with live music by Smith & Roberts and Blue Funk Jailbreak, a no-host bar, and heavy hors d’oeuvres. In order to do this at little-to-no cost (so as to ensure all of the money we raise goes to Syringa residents), we need your help!

We hope you’ll come! It’s going to be so much fun! Please consider signing up to bring an appetizer platter, or some beer or wine for the bar! We also need volunteers–folks to help set up, staff the bar, clean up dishes and food tables, and tear down at the end of the night.
https://www.signupgenius.com/go/805084fa5aa2ca57-syringa

Syringa residents are our neighbors, and they need our help. Let’s show them what a big heart this community has. Thank you for your help and your dedication to making Moscow such a great place to live!

Empower to Connect LCSC Flyer 2018 (002)

First, a REALLY BIG THANK YOU! We had a great fundraiser last week, and it’s the support of our community that made it possible. 280 community leaders found out about the opiate crisis, mental health and addiction in Moscow last week. They came together to both learn and offer their support. And, boy did they support! Together we raised almost $28000! Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Now back to our regular broadcast.
