Scope and content
On January 27, 1968, Girl Scouts gathered outside the Eastside Multi-Service Center in Salishan to help distribute pamphlets door-to-door regarding an upcoming Town Meeting on youth and drugs. Mrs. Peggy Kopf, public health educator from the Tacoma Public Schools, is believed to be standing at extreme left. The first Town Hall meeting on problems relating to drug abuse and community resources to aid those afflicted was held at Wilson High School on January 29, 1968, to a standing-room-only crowd. The next scheduled meeting, second of four, was planned for Mount Tahoma High School on January 31, 1968. Six community agencies banded together to sponsor these meetings.
