I am involved with a collaborative effort to plan and conduct a single-day,
coordinated drug take-back event at a location within each state in the
Potomac River Basin.  We noticed an earlier posting about November 13 being
a National Pharmaceutical Take-Back Day.  Upon researching the issue,
Operation Medicine Cabinet in New Jersey
(www.operationmedicinecabinetnj.org) is spearheading this and while is
being touted as a "National" event (www.americanmedicinechest.org), it
seems to be focused on New Jersey.

We are aware of a locality here in PA that is interested and have heard
that at least one place in Florida may be participating.

We are curious if any other states/localities are participating in this
event and if it is truly a national effort.

Any insight/info would be appreciated.

Thanks,
Pat
