Research shows that teens that learn about the risks form their parents are up to 50 percent less like to try alcohol and marijuana.

The coffee sleeves will be distributed at the annual BHS vs. SHS Thanksgiving Game and the Town Hall Holiday Tree Lighting.

"The Stratford Rotary Club is proud to support the Stratford Partnership for Youth and Families' Coffee Sleeve Campaign," said Lou Perno, Stratford Rotary President. "Our mission is to support initiatives like this, which will positively benefit our community."
