Shop Local...it sounds easy enough, but how can you shop local if you don't go out and find what's available within your community? It's All Here is the Chamber's new Shop Local event aimed at reminding old residents and introducing the new ones to the resources and opportunities right outside their doors. We're proud of what the Waynesville-St. Robert area has to offer and we don't want it to be a secret any longer! Sign-up to be a part of It's All Here and the Chamber will put your name in all radio, television, and print advertising for the event; feature your business on a map of participants; and finally you'll get a quarter page ad in a special edition It's All Here tab that will be inserted in the Daily Guide and Guidon the week of the event! All we ask in return is that your business stay open between the hours of 5 p.m. and midnight on November 5th! Take this opportunity to welcome consumers to your business with specials and deals they won't want to pass up! Create repeat business by offering coupons or discounts on future purchases! We're working to get them in your door, keeping them coming back is up to you! Don't have the staff or resources to stay open that long? That's okay too! There are still plenty of opportunities to get involved with this event but make sure you sign up soon, deadline is September 15th! We've heard the statistics of the shopping dollars leaving our area and frankly we're ready to put in the work to get them back! Won't you join us?

Pulaski COUnty Health Department, Waynesville Police Department,
and St. Robert Police Department will be conducting a Drive-Through
Prescription Drug Turn-In Program. The dates of the program
are Friday September 10th, from noon until 7 p.m. and Saturday
September 11th from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. According to Russell Shelden, Chief Juvenile Officer for the
25th Circuit, the illegal and misuse of prescription drugs are
a serious problem, not only across the United States, but also
within our own community. According to the National Drug Control Policy on Teens and
Prescription Drugs, some alarming trends are developing among
teens. Teens are turning away from street drugs and using prescription
drugs to get high. Next to marijuana, the most commonly used
illegal drug is prescription drugs. Teens are abusing prescription
drugs because they believe the myth that these drugs provide
a medically safe high. The majority of teens get prescription
drugs easily and for free, most often from friends' or relatives'
medicine cabinets. The combining of prescription drugs often
results in serious health consequences, including death. Four
out of ten teens believe that prescription medications are much
safer to use than illegal drugs, because they are prescribed
medications by a doctor. The Pulaski County Juvenile Office, Pulaski County Health Department
and Police Departments from the City of Waynesville and St.
Robert recognizes the need to remove unused or unwanted prescription
drugs from households and is offering this free program to citizens
of our community. We want to thank our partners in our endeavor,
such as Wal-Mart and Smitty's Price-Cutter as convenient drop
off locations for those two days. Further information or inquires can be directed to Russell
Shelden, Chief Juvenile Officer for the 25th Circuit at 573-774-4730. 2nd Annual Halloween Fun Run/Walk and Trunk 'N Treat Event The Armed Services YMCA will again be hosting a fun and safe family event on Saturday, Oct. 16th from 10:00 AM until 12:30 PM on Ft.
