                                        HUGE SUCCESS
                                        This year’s Drug Take Back held on October 24th was a huge success once
                                        again. A big “thank you” to the Drug Enforcement Administration and the
                                        Live Oak Police Department for hosting the Drug Take Back Day initiative.
                                        Each year, the purpose is to remove unused medication or vaping devices
                                        from Live Oak homes. The initiative prevents the misuse, theft, abuse or
                                        accidental ingestion of the drugs by family members including children
                                        and teens. Great job everyone!
