In the 2012 Illinois Youth
Survey, 55 percent of Logan County high school seniors reported using
alcohol and 28 percent reported using marijuana in the last 30 days. |
The Healthy Communities Partnership
has a vision to help Logan County become the healthiest community in
America. But for that vision to become a reality, there are many
healthy behaviors that need to be celebrated and promoted.
On April 7, the Healthy Communities
Partnership is celebrating substance-free living with a free bowling
party. The event will be at Logan Lanes in Lincoln from noon to 3
p.m. Families are encouraged to attend and enjoy free bowling, free
shoe rental and free food. Local organizations will be on hand to
promote substance-free living and healthy behaviors to support the
participants in making healthy choices for their families. No
reservations are necessary.
"Parents have more of an impact on
these choices than they give themselves credit for. Bringing
children to events like these and promoting a substance-free
lifestyle makes an impact on decision-making later," said Angela
Stoltzenburg, Healthy Communities Partnership manager. "Healthy
Communities Partnership is proud to bring this opportunity to Logan
County families, and we look forward to a successful event."
