January E-Newsletter from Metro Drug Coalition

Happy New Year! MDC is looking forward to an exciting year. In 2020, we will be moving to a monthly e-newsletter instead of the traditional quarterly print newsletter we have done in previous years. Our hope is that we will be able to reach more individuals with the positive prevention work that is happening here in the Knoxville community! If you have anyone that you think would be interested in receiving our e-newsletter, please direct them to metrodrug.org to sign up!

We are looking forward to continuing to grow in both expanded partnerships and participation in our initiatives this year. We are honored to be able to serve our community and to work with so many committed leaders and volunteers!
