The City is offering a wake-up call with a free seminar at 6:30 p.m. Tuesday.

The seminar will feature presentations from those with personal experience with the drug and its effects – ex-addicts, parents of children who died using, drug counselors, health care givers, law enforcement  –  and will be held in the Activities Center of the city’s sports complex on Centre Pointe Parkway.

Those attending are encouraged to bring their questions to the experts available.
