Good morning. It's Monday! 


In today's story, I recount details from a mental health advisory board meeting held last Wednesday. The details may feel a bit niche, but the Mental Health, Alcohol and Drug Advisory Board or MHADAB is intended to play an important advisory role serving as a bridge between community members and the county board. Over several years of intermittently attending these meetings, I'm always surprised at the persistent passion of the public, often amid relatively little response from MHADAB and county staff. 


Forging ahead,
