1. We have been in contact with our Public Library System and they have the following questions; What are the dimensions of the Safe Drug Disposal Kiosk and is there some kind of Maintenance Agreement required to empty it or dispose of it?  Who would this agreement be with, if required?

2. We have been in contact with all of our school districts in town and they would all like as many Overdose Rescue Boxes as possible.  Do we need to fill out a separate Grant request for the City School System, County School System and Private School in town or can this be included all within one Grant request?

3.  Based upon the results of the comments we have received,  it is apparent this Grant is needed and in fact more would be appreciated if available.  If other clubs do not submit for Grant requests, can their monies be used by our club?


Thank You,
