Tired Of Drugs: Mom, Daughter Plan Drug Program Tonight
January 14, 2011
A Cottage Hill mother and daughter grew tired of hearing about meth labs and drugs in their community, so they decided to step up and do something about the problem.
“Because we have had such a problem with meth lab busts and other drug related issues, my daughter and I have taken it upon ourselves and our church to hold a community drug awareness seminar,” Marsha Ryland said.
Marsha Ryland and her daughter Amanda organized a drug awareness program that will be held tonight at the First Baptist Church of Cottage Hill. A guest speaker from the Escambia County Sheriff’s Office Narcotics Division will present a powerful PowerPoint presentation. The signs of drug abuse will be explained, along with information on how to help someone that might already have a drug problem.
The drug awareness program will take place at 6:30 tonight at the First Baptist Church of Cottage Hill, 230 Williams Ditch Road in Cantonment. Refreshments will be provided.

Very commendable…
I like the…
“if you are not part of the solution, then you are part of the problem”
…philosophy.
I forgot.
Hats off to these two ladies. It might be slow at first but keep going till the job
is done.
Everyone with kids should be dragging them there to listen to this officer!
Drug awareness starts with your kids. Nip it in the bud!
how about the corrupt police that buy cocaine and meth from these places. yeah it happens. williams ditch road is horrible i know of 3 labs on that road. ever consider corruption of the police department to be the reason why the people that run the labs keep on keepin on. not that im against drug awareness and prevention i’m just more into looking at the big picture and scare tactics used in awareness programs don’t work. seeking an alterd state of conciosness is a natural drive however many people turn to drug use because they lack coping skills. maybe upbringing has something to do with it
so am I. so am I.
Cudos to them! I hope it is a great success!
Sure wish I could attend, God knows that the meth problem is getting worse by the day around here!
