The
Nashville Church of Scientology is observing International Day Against Drug
Abuse on June 23rd with a special open house event to enlighten
people on staying healthy.
The
Church of Scientology announced today that it will hold an event called “Come
Together: Make Drugs a Bad Deal,” to be held on June 23rd in honor
of International Day Against Drug Abuse and Illicit Trafficking. This event is
the second in a series the church has done recently to curb abuse and addiction
– the first event took place last year under the heading “Fight Back: Make
Drugs a Bad Deal.”
“Last
year we had incredible speakers from the local police undercover narcotics
division, the state government and even a former user turned drug-free
advocate, and we are gearing up for a bigger and better event this year,” says
Rev. Brian Fesler, pastor of the Nashville Church.
The
Church of Scientology supports the Foundation for a Drug-Free World, an
international non-profit organization aimed at providing children the truth
about drugs so they are equipped with correct information and won’t become a
victim to dealer’s lies. The local chapter is Drug-Free South which has visited
over 30 counties across Tennessee providing informational seminars and lectures
for school children and other groups.
“Make
Drugs a Bad Deal” takes place on June 23rd at 4:00 pm in the
community hall of the Nashville Church. For more information or to participate,
contact Julie Brinker at the church, 615-687-4600.
