The sixth annual meeting and award celebration for the

(Building Our Lives Drug-free) Coalition was held on October 12, 2011 at
Stanley Street Treatment & Resources
(SSTAR). BOLD Advisory Board Chairman Tom Pasternek opened the meeting
and acknowledged the contribution of many people to the effort over the
years, including retiring Fall River School Committee Member Marilyn
Roderick. BOLD Executive Director Craig Gaspard then presented the 2011
Strategic Plan approved by the Advisory Board. SSTAR Executive
Director Nancy Paull honored Ms. Roderick with a special award and
additional awards were then presented to a number of community members who have
supported the Coalition's efforts over the six years of its efforts to
reduce youth substance use throughout the City. The program closed with
a presentation by Jake Nichols, Pharm.D, MBA, BCPS, a pharmacist from
"Addiction Medicine Resources", who became involved in
prescription drug abuse. To see photos of last year's event click here
