WINCHESTER
— This year, CLEAN, Inc. – Community Connections for Youth and Family
will celebrate its 20th anniversary.
Community and Law Enforcement Against
Narcotics was created in 1986 from the union of two grassroots
organizations. They were
Operation CLEAN, which was a law enforcement group, and the Community
Core Team, a group of professionals.
The
nonprofit community coalition, along with Kids Are Our Concern, has
been working to support development and implementation of
community-wide programs directed at substance abuse prevention with
special attention toward youth.
To
mark the anniversary, CLEAN is planning to hold a gala awards banquet
April 7.
The
organization held a logo contest.
All local public and private schools in Winchester and Frederick
and Clarke Counties were invited to participate. The winning entry was created by Taylor
Henderson, a second-grader from D.G. Cooley Elementary School in
Berryville.
