Overdose & Prevention Town Hall - June 8, 2023
In recognition of National Fentanyl Awareness Day on May 9, the City would like to announce the Overdose & Prevention Town Hall event. The City is partnering with the Lake Stevens School District to bring awareness to overdose prevention.
Join us June 8th, 2023, at the Cavelero Mid-High Commons; doors open at 6:00 pm, with a panel of local experts starting at 6:30 pm, followed by a Q & A. Local community resources will have tables to provide more information and answer any questions the community may have.
This event is open to the public and anyone interested is welcome to come. We are one community around the Lake and it’s important to keep our members safe.
