Welcome to KPFP.ORG's Newsletter Kings Partnership for Prevention is pleased to introduce a new service for members and those interested in prevention activities in Kings County and surrounding communities. A bi-monthly newsletter blast will bring you news you can use! Although most of the items in our newsletter blasts can be found on our calendar, this format will provide you a quick and easy overview of what is coming up without having to search a calendar. Members are invited to submit items from their agency, school or group that they would like highlighted. Thank you to Elaine Heirigs of "Monkey Business Marketing" for assistance with this project. |
