2nd
Annual “Walk Away from Drugs”
The
Kingman area’s 2nd annual “Walk Away from Drugs” community
event will be held on October 1, 2008, starting at 5:30pm. The event
will have three starting locations where people can meet before the
walk starts. Kingman meeting locations are at Smith’s parking
lot, Rt. 66 Plaza (corner of Rt. 66 & Airfield Ave) and the vacant

We had the Mayor, Law Enforcement, Fire Department, Local Business People,
Schools, Church Groups, Parents, Grandparents and young adults come
out and join us in our fight to rid the Kingman area community and the
State of Arizona of this terrible drug. This goes to prove that our
community is working to run METH out of our area.
METH OR ANY OTHER KIND OF DRUG is not welcome in our community!!
Guests of Honor:
AZ Attorney General Terry Goddard, United States Attorney Diane Humetewa,
AZ Meth Project Director Amy Rex, Kingman Mayor John Salem and Mohave
