Happy Summer from MAPP! Mt. Ascutney Prevention Partnership hopes you and yours are staying safe — and hydrated! — during this super-humid July in Vermont. We have a lot to report in our mid-summer newsletter, including a new staff member and our thoughts on the changes to Vermont's marijuana law, so we hope you'll click around to catch up on the latest! Welcome, Rachel! MAPP is pleased to introduce new youth coordinator Rachel Williams, a Hartland, Vt., native. Rachel, who also manages the Windsor-based Youth Managed Cafe, is working toward a degree in health education. "I am very excited to be the new youth outreach coordinator for MAPP, as I have lots of experience working with youth and promoting healthy choices. I plan to use an artistic approach to keep youth engaged and help them express their opinions on health-related topics in their community," Rachel says.  For more information about MAPP's programs for youth, or to just say 'hello' to Rachel, email rachel.williams@mahhc.org. Concerned Citizens In Weathersfield, residents have been meeting with local prevention workers and town officials to advocate for changes in their community in the wake of the relocation of the Magic Mushroom storefront on Route 5 in Ascutney, a short distance from Weathersfield School.
