ACES MISSION STATEMENT Through a collaborative effort of Great News! 2/27/2012 As you all know, ACES has been working with Chief Phillips and other organizations to determine how to end the sale of synthetic marijuana (i.e. K2/K3, Spice) in Avon convenient stores. Chief Phillips let me know today, that after speaking to other law enforcement departments and the District Attorney's office, he spoke to the owner of A1 Market and advised that if they continued to sell the synthetic marijuana, that charges will be filed, and that the Police department will be monitoring the situation. By 2/17 the synthetic marijuana was removed from A1 market!  This is a major move in protecting Avon youth from this dangerous substance that is being increasingly used by youth. A BIG thank you to Chief Phillips, Deputy Chief Martineau, and the Avon Police Department! Important information about teen drinking that all parents must see!
At the last Parent Chat, it was decided to focus on strategies that would impact the sale of synthetic marijuana (like K2/K3) that is being
sold online and in the community of Avon.
It will take a village to address this issue, and we will need your help!
Please, we urge you to watch this webnar to learn more about the dangers of designer drugs to our youth and what things we can do as a community to address these dangers.

Addiction is a disease that does not discriminate; it affects every race, gender and socio-economic class. It knows no limits or boundaries and it impacts nearly 85 million Americans.
Unfortunately, the stigma and shame that so often surround drug and alcohol addiction prevents many from getting the help they need.
