On September 4, in collaboration with the El Dorado Chamber of Commerce, we hosted a Lunch & Learn to teach business owners and interested community members about the El Dorado Community Coalition.
We spoke about:

-Resources available around the community
-Ways for others to get involved and volunteer
We'd like to thank the vendors and members that presented to the group: Narcotics Anonymous, South Central Mental Health, the Substance Abuse Center of Kansas and Gambino's Pizza for providing lunch for everyone in attendance.
If you'd like to learn more about what we're doing and how to get involved, please email us at [email protected].
