Register now for this educational presentation on Thursday, 2/6 from 6:30-7:30pm in the Welcome Center. Across the United States, e-cigarette use, also known as

vaping, is reaching epidemic proportions among teenagers. According to the American Lung Association, more than 3.6 million U.S. middle and high school students have reported using e-

cigarettes in the past 30 days.

There are many health concerns with e-cigarette use. Although some don’t contain nicotine, e-cigarette juices use liquid nicotine extracted from tobacco and can contain as much nicotine as an entire pack of cigarettes. There are also concerns about increased exposure to toxins, including heavy metals, chemical compounds, and

other fine particles that may get absorbed into the lungs. Additionally, e-cigarettes can be used as a delivery system for other drugs.

According to the Surgeon General’s health advisory, about one third of middle and high school students who used e-cigarettes used them as a delivery device for marijuana. Health officials are concerned about this growing trend "because cannabis use among

youth can adversely affect learning and memory and may impair later academic achievement and education.”

This educational presentation focuses on common devices used for vaping, substances commonly vaped such as nicotine and

marijuana, and the health risks associated with vaping. Learn why health officials are so concerned about this growing trend.

ABOUT THE PRESENTER: Ashleigh Nowakowski, Executive Director, Your Choice to Live, Inc. - Ashleigh Nowakowski has been working in the substance abuse prevention field since 2009. Her work includes speaking in middle and high schools, teaching in health classes, and working with high risk youth in the Detour program. Ashleigh also has experience working with youth who are

concerned about a loved one’s substance use. Ashleigh has her Master’s degree in Public Administration.

Register FREE here. More information here.

We are holding a follow up discussion on January 30th with prayer, pro-life speakers, Q&A, and a drawing for copies of the Unplanned book that the movie is based on. Get more information on the follow up event here. The discussion is FREE and will be in the HA Welcome Center starting at 6:30 PM.

Seton Tuition Assistance Grant: Each year, a portion of the proceeds from the Seton Volleyball Tournament are

designated to be distributed to the Foundation for Religious Retirement and the Waukesha County Catholic Schools Tuition Assistance Fund, which is used to make Catholic school education a real possibility for those students who may not otherwise be able to afford full tuition. The Seton Volleyball Championships are named after Sister Elizabeth Ann Seton, the founder of Catholic education in the United States. She was born August 28, 1774; established St. Joseph’s Academy, the first Catholic school in the United States; was the first United States saint, canonized in 1975; and is the patron saint of this tournament.
