PORT ANGELES — The anti-drug Port Angeles Citizens Action Network, aka PA CAN, invites the public to its second meeting in the upstairs conference room at The Landing mall, 115 E. Railroad Ave., tonight.
During the 6:30 p.m. session, the group will continue its efforts to address the problem of illegal drug use in Port Angeles.
PA CAN had its initial meeting June 11, as Gail Gates and Angie Gooding, both members of the Revitalize Port Angeles group, posted their concerns about the worsening issue.
They urged members of the law enforcement and drug-treatment community to join them at that first forum, and the turnout was high, with Port Angeles Police Chief Terry Gallagher, Jude Anderson of Clallam County Health and Human Services, Clallam County jail nurse Julia Keegan and two Klallam Counseling social workers taking part in a lively 90-minute discussion.
In addition to tonight, another PA CAN meeting is slated for 6:30 p.m. July 22 in The Landing’s conference room, as “we are hoping to have them closer together to get more done,” Gates wrote on Facebook.
