Connecticut Credit Union Association sponsors DARE car

MERIDEN, Conn. - Connecticut credit unions are showing their support to kids-by donating a car. Recently the Connecticut Credit Union Association unveiled the new Drug Abuse Resistance Education (DARE) Car during an official ceremony held at the State Police Academy. DARE, the nation's best known anti-drug program, is taught by police officers to students in classrooms across the country. The aim of the program is providing kids with the necessary tools/skills to choose a drug-free life. "This program is an excellent one," said Connecticut's Commissioner of Public Safety Dr. Henry Lee. "Every youth that we can save provides the country with new hope." The CCUA on behalf of credit unions throughout the state and their members sponsored the 1982 Chevrolet Corvette that was seized from a drug dealer. The detailing in vibrant red, white and blue paint features the words "Connecticut Credit Unions", the Web site link www.joinacreditunion.org, and the DARE program slogan with the words "Seized from a drug dealer" emblazoned on the body of the car. The DARE car will visit credit unions throughout the year and will also take part in parades and other events in Connecticut and New England. -mbourjolly@cutimes.com
