Fentanyl is a powerful synthetic opioid, 50 times stronger than he**in. Just a few milligrams can be deadly. It’s often mixed into drugs or counterfeit pills, making doses unpredictable and dangerous.
Overdoses have surged, with nearly 71,000 deaths in 2021 linked to synthetic opioids. Symptoms of overdose include slow breathing, confusion, and pinpoint pupils. Immediate medical attention and Naloxone (NARCAN) can save lives. NARCAN is available at three Regional Health Systems locations.
Fentanyl comes in various forms, making it hard to detect and avoid. For more information, visit FentanylEndsItAll.com

For the upcoming year, we have to replace some of our tabling gear, an unfortunate wind event took care of the canopy and a few other items. Your support helps!

“And I am done with my graceless heart
So tonight I’m going to cut it out and then restart
Because I like to keep my issues drawn
It’s always darkest before the dawn”

This song reflects a journey from heartbreak to renewal, with the key theme of overcoming personal struggles, expressed in the line, “it’s hard to dance with the devil on your back.” Florence, the lead singer, has shared her battles with depression, which intensified in 2014 due to the lack of structure in her life after rising to fame.
