Oswego Sunrise Rotary Club is new Gold Sponsor for the SAFE Fair.
The Oswego Sunrise Rotary Club joins the growing list of Sponsors for the 5th Annual Oswego County Substance Awareness Family Education Fair. The SAFE Fair is a free family event scheduled for Sunday, April 29, 2018, from 11:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. at the Lake Ontario Event and Conference Center in Oswego. "We are proud to sponsor the 5th annual S.A.F.E. Fair. As Rotary members, we learn that service above self is paramount. Service comes in many forms and providing resources to support awareness and life-saving education for our community is something that fits squarely within our purpose as an organization," said Kevin Hill, President of the Oswego Sunrise Rotary Club.
This event has moved to a larger location for VOW Foundation’s 5th Anniversary of hosting the Oswego County SAFE Fair. “This event has been a collaboration with businesses, agencies and people in Oswego County for five years, learning and educating about synthetic drugs, addiction, prevention, treatment, outreach, healthy alternatives and, most recently, ways to help save lives of those effected by the opiate epidemic.” Said Teresa Woolson, President of the VOW Foundation. The VOW Foundation is named after Teresa’s son, Victor Orlando Woolson, who died in 2012 from a fatal reaction to a synthetic drug XLR-11 found in K2/Spice. The Mission of the VOW Foundation is to educate and advocate about synthetic drugs, addiction, mental illness and poverty.
