Juliette Pia, Randy Scleich, George & I went to the Castle Rock CARE Coalition Monthly Meeting last night at the Castle Rock Senior Center. There was a presentation covering their achievements in the last year.
MISSION STATEMENT: The Castle Rock C.A.R.E Coalition is dedicated to mobilizing the community and the community's human resources in fostering positive values and healthy lifestyles in order to influence and empower our youth and adults to live drug free, make responsible choices, and to become productive citizens.
The CARE Coalition / Drug Free Communities Goals and objectives are well defined and they listed (line item) how their objectives were met, as well as the number of members they have and what they specialized in.
We met Myron before the meeting at the Senior Center. He started a Senior Center/High School Mentoring Program. Twice a week four high school students serve lunch to the seniors at the center, which helps them build strong, ongoing relationships between their youth and senior citizens. This program includes 28 students and 20 adults who participated in the 2012 - 2013 year. A letter from one of the students was read to us, which showed how meaningful this program can be to the students.

Summary: The CARE Coalition is actively engaged in the community & it's events. Their members are actively involved in the police department, social work, school district, faith based and business community. They are focused on helping their citizens make responsible choices in their lives and community through their programs and mentoring programs.
All in all, we are very impressed with their members and the success of their programs! We received a copy of their annual evaluation, which is positive and inspiring. We plan to implement some of their programs in our Rainier Community Cares Coalition.
