Organizations recognized were the Presbyterian Church's After School Enrichment Program and Shore Health System. Individuals were Nancy Clem, Len Hayman, Glenn Schneider, and Dan Wool-ston. The awards were made at Partnership's annual meeting and dinner June 9 at the Church of the Holy Trinity here.

"Preventing drug abuse is done is many ways," commented the Rev. Ervin Brown, rector of Christ Church, St. Michaels and chair of Partnership's board of directors. "Each honoree tonight is doing something which directly or indirectly deters substance abuse and contributes to a safer, healthier, drug-free community. Each has recognized needs within the community and found ways to remedy social problems closely-related to alcohol and other drug abuse." Here is list of drug-free community programs and individuals in the area that received awards: Presbyterian Church After School Enrichment Program -Begun five years ago, this program provides affordable, high quality after-school care for 25 elementary school children.

The children play, snack, do homework, 1 Gunston Day School's students, faculty, board of trustees, and guests were present for the ribbon cutting of two new sports fields on May 25. The fields were dedicated to the memory of Arthur Temple Blackwood and Sarah Robinson Blackwood for their commitment to Gunston for over 30 years. Their sons, Matthew T. Blackwood, left, and Terence R. Blackwood, students at the school in the 1930s, gave the dedication.

The fields were also given in appreciation of John Temple Blackwood for his service to Gunston as a teacher for 20 years and headmaster from 1986-1992. The ceremony ended with everyone throwing a handful of grass seed on the new fields. receive tutoring, do art projects, sing and so on. The paid staff is assisted by over a dozen church-member volunteers who work with the children on a daily basis. Shore Health System Over the years.

Shore Health System has participated in numerous programs which contribute to a drug-free community. A leader in implementing alcohol, tobacco and other drug abuse prevention programs, they were the first large employer to go smoke free (199091), they have participated in EN-CARE and Reality program to deter alcohol abuse, and have partnered with other key agencies to provide parenting, wellness and multicultural programs. Nancy Clem has helped to build a drug-free community in many ways: through her work on the Talbot County Council (1982-1994) and the Easton Town Council (1996-1999), where she was a consistent advocate of programs and legislation to protect the health of Talbot County residents; through her work at Channel Marker, where she created a community of support for the chronically mentally ill; and by raising three healthy, productive sons. Len Hayman is a fine example of a young person leading a healthy, productive life without using alcohol, tobacco and other drugs.
