The Democrat Women of Mercer County welcomed Chaz Rice, director of the Mercer County Coalition for Drug Awareness (MCCDA) and the ROAR Center (Removing Obstacles to Assist Recovery), to their November meeting. There is a crisis of addiction in Mercer County. MCCDA is a non-profit dedicated to preventing substance abuse and helping people recover from drug and alcohol addiction with support, education, and healthy alternatives to drug use. Their latest project is RAE of HOPE, a group sober living home to help those coming out of rehab or incarceration get back into society. DWMC voted to donate $100 to the project. The GoFundMe page is RAE of HOPE Helping Others. Learn more at www.roarcentermccda.org.
DWMC business included the election of Deborah Roberson as President and re-election of Donna Piroga as Secretary, along with expressions of gratitude to Kim Powell who stepped down as President after years of service. Members set goals for the year, including the need to encourage others to join and work to preserve democracy in this critical election cycle. Upcoming events include a holiday party, book club on the 1st and 3rd Thursdays, packing boxes at the Community Food Warehouse, and a Primary Petitions Signing event at the Mannechor Club on January 7.
