Also, DBHR will be producing a brochure for Jefferson County for PRI and for the State.

• Assist us in explaining what PRI is to the community;
• Assist us in recruiting new Board Members for the Network;
• Illustrate to other Cohort 1 and Cohort 2 counties what we are doing
Prevention Summit
The DBHR fall state-wide Prevention Summit in Yakima has been scheduled for October
27th through 29th. Kelly Matlock, the PRI Community Coordinator, will be attending. The
PTHS Student Task Force is applying for a scholarship to attend. If it receives the
scholarship, it will be the second year the Task Force has participated. Marla Overman,
the manager for the Boiler Room, has applied for a volunteer scholarship for the Summit,
and will attend if she receives the scholarship.
Project Alert
DBHR has changed the way that it is funding prevention services for Jefferson County
through the Prevention Redesign Initiative. With this restructuring there is no money for
the direct service delivery of Project Alert. There are City of Port Townsend prevention
funds through 12-31-11 that will be used for Karen Obermeyer‟s facilitation of the Project
Alert classes for the 6th and 7th grades at Blue Heron Middle School in the fall of 2011.
Karen started the 6th grade classes on
9-13-11. City of Port Townsend prevention funds for the 2012 – 2013 school year are
unclear at this time.
Protecting You / Protecting Me
Changes in staff to facilitate PY/PM:
Lynn Humphrey, a volunteer with the PT Police Department, has been trained in the 4th

Jodi Crimmins, the Grant Street Librarian, are in the process of being trained in all 5
grades and plan to facilitate the classes for grades 1 through 3.

Unclear about whether or not Quilcene will facilitate these classes due to staff
funding issues.
Brinnon School District
Brinnon staff is tentatively planning to facilitate the PY/PM classes again this year.
Classes in Brinnon are combination grade levels, so the classes will be provided in
somewhat of a different format.

and the impact on services. The next Board of Health meeting is scheduled for Thursday,

VII. New Business
Fran asked members to support the following action alert.
Dear Friends in Prevention,
Your immediate action is needed to ask Senator Murray to continue the funding of
Enforcing Underage Drinking Laws (EUDL). This is the funding that makes the great work
of the RUAD Coalition possible and it is in danger of elimination.
