Bringing the pieces together to build a Safer Community...
___________________________________
The San Juan Safe Communities Initiative is a partnership between public and private entities including: city, county and state governments, prevention experts, treatment providers, social service agencies, business community, the faith community, schools, law enforcement, local judges and the drug court program, health care providers, and concerned citizens.
Many agencies are currently working in San Juan County to reduce substance abuse and criminal activity. We believe that with the nature of the current problems facing the county (especially Methamphetamines and Gangs), we must have a comprehensive approach to solving them. Our premise is that we can accomplish a great deal more if we consolidate our efforts and work together toward achieving our mutual goals.
The San Juan Safe Communities Initiative, Inc. is attempting to do something few communities in this nation have been able to accomplish. Our goal is to draw upon our most valuable resource, our people, to achieve our shared goals. We believe that a comprehensive community-wide approach to solving our comprehensive community-wide problems is the only way we will be able to sustain lasting change. By bringing together committed, dedicated citizens and providing a voice for every segment of the population, maintaining our focus of collaboration and cooperation, and promoting our strategic vision for San Juan County, we will achieve a safe community.

"You Matter" (UmattR.com) Trading Card Program
The program promotes 12 High School Seniors with diverse interests who are committed to living drug, alcohol and tobacco free. They serve as mentors to younger kids while at the same time honing the skills necessary to become our future community leaders. They excel in various extracurricular personal interests and skills, including athletics, FFA, photography, music, dance, computers or other such positive activities. Each senior is featured on their own trading card which they take to area elementary schools and events to sign for younger students. At this time they discuss their positive choices and hope to mentor these students to become positive, future leaders themselves.
By investing in the “You Matter” (UmattR.com) Program you will:
- Be building youth leadership skills and peer mentoring for the community.
- Be promoting a drug free message in the schools and in San Juan County communities.
- Gain exposure for your business through your logo / message on the trading cards, posters, flyers, PSA's websites, newsletters, paper, radio, banners, and community events.
- Be supporting the idea of creating a safer community, one child at a time. This starts by helping kids learn to make good choices at an early age.

Aztec Boys and Girls Club 2nd Annual 50/50 Raffle
Summer left you with that empty wallet feeling?
US TOO!
That is why we at the Aztec Boys & Girls Club are getting ready to conduct our 2nd Annual 50/50 Raffle.
We have had some unexpected bills and repairs that I will tell you more about as the raffle kicks off on next Monday, August 9th but we were so please with the results of last year’s 50/50 raffle last year and we know that the winner, who split over $22,000 with the Club was too!
Here’s how it works:
The Club spends no money advertising as we only send out emails to our friends that have supported us in the past.
We sell as many tickets as possible because the more money there is in the pot the more money both the Club and the winner take home.
We will only sell tickets for twelve days so don’t delay or it may be too late! The sales will start on Monday, Aug. 9th and will end on Friday, August 20th and the drawing will be on August 21st.
Buy your tickets early and get an even better deal- Tickets will be $25 each or 6 for $100 through August 15th. August 16th through the 20th tickets are $25 each or 5 for $100.
However much money we raise will be split between the Club and the person who bought the winning ticket 50/50! Easy, right?
Starting Monday, August 9th visit our website at www.aztecbg-club.com to purchase your 50/50 Raffle tickets and support the Aztec Boys & Girls Club, The Positive Place for Kids and Teens.
