It is with the greatest of pleasure that I write to thank Rich Barnes for presenting to our Middle and High School students last month. His openness with students about his life and the sincerity of his delivery really resonated with our students. The implications of making good choices and how it is never too late to change a behavior had the room in total silence and engagement.
It is hard to really get through to teenagers about the seriousness of substance abuse. A new face with a very personal message definitely had an impact in that room.
Thank you, Rich, for your care for our young people. I wish you all the very best as you continue to deliver your powerful message to our youth, knowing that you are, indeed, making a positive difference in their lives.
Sincerely,
Sue
