  1. Youth Leadership Conference

    2. July 6-8th, 2011 - Contact us for registration and brochure.

    Annual leadership training for 7th-12th grades thats 2 1/2 days long. Occurs at Bethal Horizons, Dodgeville, which includes low and high ropes course. They learn leadership skills, decision-making skills media tactics, issues surrounding youth, and how to take action in their schools and communities. One major component of the conference is an action planning session where the youth determine the issue they want to focus on in their school and then decide how they are going to address it. The youth meet regularly within their schools and then periodically as a whole county group.

  3. Prescription Drug Round Ups

    4. Thursday July 21, 2011 - 5:30 pm at the Boscobel Banquet and Bowl. This is in conjunction with the Community Supper. Attendance is not required to drop prescriptions off.

    A drop off point for people to bring their expired, unused, or unwanted prescription drugs for proper disposal at a licensed drug-disposal facility. We have collected approximate 650 pounds of prescription drugs since 2008. Often we do this at Elder Fest and such events. The purpose is to keep the drugs from youth who sell the pills or use them to get high and to preserve the environment. If you have drugs to be disposed of, please contact us!
