Please join the West End Civic Association on Thursday, Feb. 21, at 7 p.m. for its winter meeting held at Amy Lowell Community Room, 65 Martha Road The doors open at 6:45 p.m.
State Reps. Jay Livingstone and Boston City Councilor Josh Zakim will update on issues affecting the West End.
Special Guest Speaker
Reverend Joseph M. White – Saint Joseph Parish
Father Joe will discuss the opioid and drug crisis that is affecting our – and all – neighborhoods. West Enders have learned a great deal about drugs in the city as we engaged in dialogue over the licensing of marijuana establishments in our community. We see an increasing number of drug addicts here, and we are concerned. We need to educate ourselves and our children about the addicted community.
One great service comes from The Archdiocese of Boston, which has a special ministry to assist addicted persons and families of addicted persons. AARPSS, the Archdiocesan Addiction Recovery Pastoral Support Services, can be reached through Father Joe [email protected].
On the 21st, join in this neighborhood meeting and learn what actions we can take in dealing responsibly with this growing problem.
Spread the word – all West Enders are welcome, refreshments served.
