Coalition asking for name ideas

Taking Note
Jay County Drug Prevention Coalition is working in conjunction with local officials toward the goal of opening a recovery residence. Plans for the facility are still in the early stages. Some of the funding for the facility could come from opioid lawsuit settlement funds that will flow to the county over a 15-year period. (The Commercial Review/Louise Ronald)

Jay County Drug Prevention Coalition is asking the community to name the new recovery home.

The naming contest, going on now through May 17, is open to residents of Jay, Blackford, Delaware and Adams counties. Its winner will receive $250 and determine the name of Jay County’s sober living facility.

Participants may submit suggestions at bit.ly/3URgMEp.
