The Youth Partnership hosted it's 19th annual Calendar Contest Ceremony on Wednesday, January 13th from 6:00-7:30pm at the JFK Library, Joseph Room. With permission from Vallejo City Unified School District, YP annually requests artwork submissions from Vallejo K-12 students that will creatively demonstrate a substance-use prevention theme as selected by YP students. The 2010 calendar theme is "Smoking Hurts More Than Just Your Lungs".
