LAKE COUNTY – The Lake County Tobacco Education Program is seeking community members to serve on the Tobacco Education Coalition.

Coalition members, who will serve for 12 months, will participate in legislative activities at both the local and state level.

In addition, members coordinate efforts to educate residents of Lake County about the environmental impacts of second-hand smoke and tobacco litter.

Applicants should have a desire to effect change in societal norms regarding tobacco use, eliminating exposure to harmful chemicals in second-hand smoke, and helping to stop youth access to tobacco products. Both adult and youth members are encouraged to apply.

The next scheduled meeting of the Coalition will be on June 4 from 8 a.m. to 9:30 a.m. at Lake Family Resource Center, 896 Lakeport Blvd., Lakeport. Breakfast will be served.
