Our project theme this year is Opioid Abuse Prevention. Drug overdose is currently the leading cause of accidental death for adults under the age of 50 in the United States. The Wellesley Rotary Club will conduct Addiction Prevention Seminars to strengthen community understanding of addiction and methods of prevention. The seminars will bring together prevention experts, parents, and other community stakeholders to make it possible to quickly educate attendees on critical but often misunderstood forces that drive addiction. An additional goal of these gatherings is to establish relationships, partnerships and collaborations to tackle the ongoing local need for education, and substance abuse prevention.

The Rotary Club of Wellesley is one of Wellesley’s oldest community service groups and conducts local programs to benefit the Town of Wellesley. Please check the web site www.wellesleyrotary.org  for times and location.  The public is always invited to any Rotary program.  Please make a reservation on our web site’s calendar or call 781-591-0759 to speak with one of our board members.
