Good Morning Rim Youth Prevention Leadership Coalition Members and Friends!
Just a reminder that our Coalition meeting will be held this coming Tuesday, May 8 at 10:00 am at Mary Tone Community Center: 23332 Crestline Road, in Crestline.
In order to honor everyone’s busy schedule, we plan to have a concise meeting. Please come at 9:45 for refreshments and networking so that we can begin our meeting promptly at 10:00.
If you were at our last meeting, you received some “homework” from our Coalition Chair, Carol Kinzel. Please bring this if you have it. Otherwise, please be thinking about contributing your thoughts on these following questions during round table:
1. What purpose do I see RYPL fulfilling? (why are we here?)
2. The goals I would really like RYPL to accomplish this year are…
3. Specifically, how/what can I help/do to make #1 and #2 realities?
4. When I felt that I didn’t have a leg to stand on (not a chance of success) in the past, what did I do?
We will also be making final plans for the Community Conversation coming up on May 15 at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church (in the Parish Hall) in Lake Arrowhead at 7pm. We will be looking for Coalition members who are willing to man our booth there as well as help with serving refreshments. We are looking forward to this event. Supervisor Rutherford and Sheriff Captain Rick Ells will be two of our special speakers. Teen members from the Coalition will be speaking as well. I have attached a flyer with all of the details. PLEASE INVITE YOUR FRIENDS AND NEIGHBORS!!!
If you are unable to attend the Coalition meeting on Tuesday, but would like to volunteer to help at the Community Conversation on the 15th, please email me back and let me know! We’d appreciate it!!
Hope to see you all on Tuesday!!

Good morning,
On Thursday, May 10, the San Bernardino County Department of Behavioral Health (DBH) will be conducting a Community Planning Meeting.
DBH has identified approximately $5 million in available funding for Prevention and Early Intervention (PEI) programs funded through the Mental Health Services Act. Mental Health Prevention programs work to reduce risks while increasing protective factors to prevent individuals from experiencing serious mental and behavioral problems. Early Intervention services are designed to provide interventions for those displaying early signs of mental health problems.
This is the second in a series of meetings designed to obtain input from community members on funding for programs that may directly benefit residents. At the first round of meetings, community members discussed the needs in the community and offered possible solutions and programs that could help meet these needs.
While about $66 million of programs were proposed by community members, only about $5 million in funding is available. At this meeting, those in attendance will have the opportunity to help prioritize the programs and funding that are most important to the community.
This is a great opportunity to voice your opinion on funding that will impact your communities.
Please consider attending this meeting on May 10 and sharing this information with others.
The meeting time and location is listed below.

Hello Rim Youth Prevention Leadership Coalition Members and Partners,
As discussed at our last meeting, the Community Conversation we hoped to have in May has worked out! The DRAFT flyer is attached for your review. It will be held on May 15 at 7:00 p.m. in Lake Arrowhead at Our Lady of the Lake Catholic Church in the Parish Hall. Carol Kinzel, our Coalition Chair, will be the emcee for the night. Two teen Coalition members have agreed to speak (during my presentation) and three teens have agreed to be on the question/answer panel. Supervisor Rutherford is still checking her schedule and will send her mountain rep if she cannot be there herself.
Please be sure to join us at our next Coaltion meeting on Tuesday, May 8 at 10:00 a.m. at Mary Tone Community Center in Crestline where we will discuss details for the Conversation and have sign-ups to help with the event (we’ll be serving refreshments and also have an information table in the back of the room).
Hope to see you at the meeting on May 8 and at the Community Conversation on May 15!!

Hello Rim Youth Prevention Leadership Coalition Members and Supporters,
This email is to remind you about our upcoming meeting on Tuesday, March 27 at 10 AM at the Mary Tone Community Center in Crestline: 23332 Crestline Road. At this time, the plan is that I will treat you all to my special homemade coffee cake…a favorite of my family!
Among other things, we will all get a chance to view a final draft of the tri-fold brochure that Carol Kinzel has worked on so diligently. We’ll make plans for our upcoming Community Conversations. We’ll talk ALOT about the synthetic drugs: spice and bath salts, and how they are affecting our kids and potentially our community. We’ll hear an update on raves in our County and how that whole situation is affecting us. We will also hear how some Coalition members took an opportunity to address the marijuana smokeout event at the National Orange Show and how you can use the same strategy to address the raves held there.
Please plan to join us and invite a friend to come along!
