HAWLEY, PA — The Patriot Connectors October speakers will be Kelly and Martin Gaughan. The meeting will be held in the Wallenpaupack High School Library on Thursday, October 9 from 7 to 9 p.m. Area residents are invited to this free and open forum on the issue of crime and drugs in our community.

Martin and Kelly will be talking to the Patriot Connectors about the overwhelming drug issue with which our country is confronted. Martin will share his first-hand experiences from our streets to our schools. Kelly will talk about how the legal system deals with drugs, recidivism and the increase in crimes such as burglary due to the drug problem, which includes the effect of the drug problem on families.

The Patriot Connectors now have a large lending library of books and DVDs and also provide free materials and petitions for the public to look over.
