The DeWitt County Bright Futures Coalition is now a committee of the DeWitt County Substance Abuse Coalition.

President of the Substance Abuse Coalition, Jeff DeLaughter says the Bright Futures Coalition was charged with addressing the epidemic of underage drinking in DeWitt and Piatt Counties and now they will be under the umbrella of the Coalition.

According to DeLaughter, they will have a representative from the Bright Futures Coalition that will represent them on the Substance Abuse Coalition. He says they will continue their mission or outreach and education to Piatt County and DeWitt County youth to prevent underage drinking.

The best way to find more about the DeWitt County Substance Abuse Coalition is to visit their Facebook page or to join them for their monthly meetings, the third Tuesday of each month at 10 am at The Vault in Clinton. Their May meeting is tomorrow (Tuesday) morning at 10 am.
