The New Tradition Coalition Lawrence, KS

We started meeting in the Spring of 2008 after a town hall forum on underage drinking sparked interest to continue to work on addressing the issue.  We have representation from multiple sectors of the community, including law enforcement, schools, businesses, faith based organizations, parents, social service providers and the media. Meets monthly on the first Wednesday 11:30 a.m. (brown bag lunch) DCCCA, 3312 Clinton Parkway, Lawrence.  These meetings are open to the public. Everyone is welcome to join in the discussion or become a new member.
