North Carolina Regional Coalition Kicks-Off with Pride Surveys Representatives from seven counties in the western portion of North Carolina recently met to kick off a regional anti-drug coalition. And this is a story about sharing the wealth. When the Coalition for a Safe and Drug-Free Clay County, based in Hayesville, NC, learned it would receive additional federal funding, its leaders offered to split the funds with six other counties. So, on June 23, representatives from Cherokee, Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, and Swain counties, met in Hayesville for the first meeting of the region-wide coalition. Each county will receive $36,000, plus other benefits, thanks to the generosity of the Clay County group. One high school, middle school and elementary school in each county will be offered the Pride Surveys for Grades 6-12, Grades 4-6, Parents and Faculty/Staff. On hand for the kick-off were U.S. Rep. Charles Taylor, who helped secure the funding, State Sen. John Snow, and State Rep. Roger West. Out of state guests included CADCA CEO Arthur Dean, Rendel Stalvey of the Mendez Foundation and Doug Hall of Pride Surveys. Coalition for a Safe and Drug-Free Clay County
