POSITIVE REINFORCEMENT — Butler Rotary Club members Jennifer Linn, Pat Green, Joe Neigh and Leslie Osche teamed up with Nathan Osche, a junior at Butler High School, and other school club members for a golf ball drop Oct. 9 to raise funds for Stand Tall, a school-based club that encourages positive peer pressure. Butler County Against Heroin also helped with the event.

The Butler Rotary Club held its golf ball drop Oct. 9. Virginia Scarborough won a 42-inch Plasma HDTV during the event that raised $2,750 for the Stand Tall Drug Awareness and Prevention Program.

The Rotary teamed up with Butler County Against Heroin to raise funds for Stand Tall at Butler schools. Stand Tall is a school-based club that develops a positive peer pressure group in schools and in the community. Members vow to abstain from using drugs and alcohol, volunteer to participate in random drug screenings to prove it and are rewarded for healthy lifestyle choices though incentive programs.

Butler County schools currently participating in Stand Tall include Butler junior, intermediate and senior high schools, Karns City junior and senior high schools, Moniteau High School and Knoch High School.
