 Philip Terpening Memorial Award for Innovations in Substance Abuse Prevention | |
 Philip Terpening, a County Legislator from Rosendale, was a founding member and Chair of the Ulster County Substance Abuse Prevention Board until his untimely passing. As a tribute to Phil and his vision for Ulster, the Board has established an annual memorial dedicated to his commitment to reduce substance use and abuse among our youth in Ulster. This memorial will award $500 to the community group and $500 to the youth group that promotes substance abuse prevention in the most effective manner. Submissions may be made to the Ulster Prevention Council Board by November 30, 2011. The UPC Board will vote for a winner in the youth category and for the community group winner. Submissions in the community group category will describe their respective project in 500 words or less on a typewritten, double-spaced Word document. For the school category, the school staff member overseeing the project will also submit a tally of students who were successfully recruited. All entries must be emailed to the UPC Director, Cheryl DePaolo, at cdepaolo@familyservicesny.org. In 2011 the Terpening Awards will recognize: | |
