Fountain Hills Youth Coalition receives grant

The Fountain Hills Youth Substance Abuse Prevention Coalition received a $5,000 grant through the Republic Services foundation during the Town Council’s Sept.1 meeting. Republic Services Municipal Manager Melissa Krueger, right, presented the check to Tammy Bell and Elizabeth Orr. “We are going to be expanding our Above That Youth Prevention and Leadership Club to the fifth grade,” Bell said, adding that many Arizona eighth graders who report drinking alcohol start by the age of 12 years old on average. “We’re going to start teaching some coping skills, creating some really important relationships and opportunities,” she said.
