What’s in your medicine cabinet?  Do you have bottles of old medication?  Flushing the pills down the toilet or throwing them in the trash pose potential safety and health hazards.  There is another way to get rid of unwanted prescription drugs in Kent County.

On October 28, 2011, from  8 a.m. to 5 p.m., the Kent County Sheriff’s Office and the Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) will give the public another opportunity to prevent pill abuse and theft by ridding their homes of potentially dangerous expired, unused, and unwanted prescription drugs.  Bring your medications for disposal to Kent County Sheriff’s Office at 701 Ball Ave NE.  The service is free and anonymous, no questions asked. 

This effort is part of the Nationwide Prescription Drug "Take-Back” Day.

Invite your friends and make plans to go to Peace Lutheran Church at 1225 12 Mile Road NW in Sparta every Saturday from 10:30am-11:15am for this fun, energetic way of keeping healthy!

Cost: $5.00 per class, no registration required.  For more information contact Michelle at (616)881-2221 or hotpinkcadi@yahoo.com .

Bar Hop Fundraiser in Downtown Sparta!
(It’s not a race to the finish, its a race to raise money for Cancer Research!)   

Teams are already forming in Sparta to compete in raising money for the American Cancer Society.  The PINK DRESS part of the event is to raise awareness of all the loved ones, family members, and friends that we have lost to all types of cancer. Let’s work together to raise money for cancer research.

Participants are divided based on their hosting bar/restaurant and then travel to each of the 4 locations trying to raise more money as a team then the competing teams through fundraising activities. On this journey our teams will also help support the Relay for Life efforts through drink and food sales, as a portion of the profits will be donated.
