PROGRAM

Steve Cox and Captain Stewart were responsible for our program.

Our program was Hopkins County Attorney, Todd P’Poole. Todd thanked the Rotary Club for inviting him to speak and to share what a pleasure the past nine months have been to serve as our County Attorney. He said it’s never and dull moment and there are always stories to share when appropriate around the dinner table. Todd is very proud of his staff of many who daily work to make his job as County Attorney easier. He’s very proud “Teen Challenge” a 25 bed in house treatment facility will open next month in Dixon. He works very closely with the Federal, State and local Juvenile Systems. He said: we don’t need a Youth Center; we need rational people willing to deal with irrational addicts. The government does a lousy job being a family. We must take time to mentor and build relationships
