Arkansas Tobacco Free Kids Day / Discuss

YES TEAM (Youth Leadership Initiative) says:

Wow, we had a blast. We had an awesome march and pre-press conference rally on the steps of the capitol and then had a very smooth running press conference on the inside of the capitol in the rotunda.

Our speakers were youth members Josilyn Mitchell, Jakyra Stewart, Tonisha Brown, McKenzie Harris, Lauren Hardaway, Shelby Kilpatrick and Sophia Perez-Santos.

Representative Fred Allen was our keynote speaker and Representative Richard Carrol was compelled to share words of thanks and support.

Dr. Paul Halverson and Dr. Dresler really made a huge impression...and Sophia's sweet poem brought it all home.

There were right at 300 participants...with pre-registered guests and guest that showed up for the event on the day of.

It was a grand event and we want to remember it the way YOU saw it...and the only way we can do that is to request that you upload your photos and video clips on this account...so we can check them out.
