To the Honorable City Council

 

I ask that you accept $2000.00 from Mass Department of Public Health - Tobacco Cessation and Prevention Program to Health and Human Services, under the provisions of MGL Chapter 44, Section 53A. This grant does not require the commitment of matching funds. The purpose of this grant is to pay for the implementation of the Middle School Pilot Chapter project of "The 84". "The 84" is a program of the Massachusetts Department of Public Health’s Tobacco Cessation and Prevention effort to educate and reduce youth assess and exposure to tobacco and nicotine products.

 

My staff will be available to answer any questions you may have. Thank your for your consideration of this item.

 

Respectfully submitted,

Joseph A. Curtatone, Mayor
