*+++++** **Parenting Program offered by the Center for Parents and 
Teachers** * *+++++*
 
The Center for Parents and Teachers presents an evening with 
psychiatrist, Nobel Laureate, and author, Dr. Henry David Abraham, who 
will offer straightforward advice to parents on how to prevent drug 
abuse before it
starts and how to proceed if your child is already a user. The program, 
"Heads-up Parenting:  Preventing Drug Abuse Before It Starts" will take 
place on *Monday, February 5, from 7:30 to 9 p.m. at the Concord Middle 
School Peabody Forum*, 1231 Old Marlboro Road. In his talk, Dr. Abraham 
will acknowledge that "healthy kids are experience seekers," and will 
note the difference between drug use, drug abuse, and drug addiction. He 
will identify the "Red Flags" --- warning signs that parents should be 
aware of, as well as the "Golden Haloes" --- important factors that can 
protect your child from drug and alcohol abuse. Dr. Abraham injects his 
talk with much humor, lively anecdotes, and helpful tips to encourage 
and empower his listeners! The fee for this program is $8 per person or 
$15 per couple. Pre-registration is appreciated but not required. Please 
*contact the Center for Parents and Teachers at **978-202-1146 or 
amartinez at colonial.net <mailto:amartinez at colonial.net> *for more 
information.

*+++++** SUMMER OPPORTUNITIES FAIR** * *+++++*

The Summer Opportunities Fair will be held on *Monday, January 29, from

of all ages an opportunity to explore some exciting alternatives to 
their usual summer activities, the Fair brings together representatives 
from over 85 organizations to present information about summer 
opportunities locally, nationally, and abroad. Exhibitors will display 
information on traditional summer camps, special needs programs, 
wilderness adventures, education and enrichment opportunities, sports 
camps, foreign language and student exchange programs, volunteer
