Building Our
Lives Drug-Free (BOLD), the former
Fall River Area
Prevention Coalition, sponsored the 2005 election's first debate among
candidates for mayoral and school committee positions at Talbot Middle
School on October 4, 2005. Planned entirely by
Teens Against
Drug Abuse (TADA), a subcommittee of the Coalition organized
in early 2005 to address the prevention of alcohol and other drug abuse
in Fall River, the debate focused largely on issues affecting youth.
Herald News editor Lisa Stratton served as moderator for the event.
