These funds are being made available through the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA), a Federal member of the Interagency Coordinating Committee on the Prevention of Underage Drinking. Funds are administered through ICF International, a SAMHSA contractor. The stipend is provided to help defray the costs of planning and holding an event. You may use the stipend to cover costs such as facilities rental, printing, promotion, or other expenditures as deemed appropriate by your organization. Please visit the planning section of our Town Hall Meeting Web site under the resources tab,and review the Partner and Sponsorship Ideas,for ways to engage the support of other organizations in your community. As a reminder, SAMHSA's key expectations for organizations hosting a 2012 event are as follows: • Conduct one or more Town Hall Meeting(s)on underage drinking prevention, preferably in March or April (April is Alcohol Awareness Month). • Enter your event details in our online registration database, which will automatically include your event in our interactive Town Hall Meeting Locator Map. • Involve as many different community sectors as possible in your event. We particularly encourage youth involvement in planning and conducting a Town Hall Meeting. • Document your Town Hall Meeting and planned followup activities by completing the Organizer Survey that SAMHSA will provide shortly after your event is held. Your profile and event information can be updated as often as necessary by logging into the Town Hall Meeting Web site. If you have forgotten your password, you can click on the Forgot Password? link and enter your email address.
