The training kept me informed about issues in the alcohol field, and helped me start planning my NASD event. I took this information back to my staff and we are incorporating it into our promotion efforts for this year�s program using the theme �Alcohol and Health: Where Do You Draw the Line.� This theme is so important, especially since people today are receiving many mixed messages about alcohol and it�s effect on their health.� Jim Vollendroff King County Mental Health and Chemical Dependency Services Seattle, WA
