<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>In the Russian River Watershed - north of San
Francisco, we have a pharmacy take back program that is carried out by multiple
public agencies, with the cooperation of pharmacies (<A
href="http://www.safemedicinedisposal.org/">http://www.safemedicinedisposal.org/</A>).
Many of our chain pharmacies (CVS, Safeway, etc) are pulling out of our program
for various reasons from "corporate."</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I am seeking examples of letters written to
pharmacies (or other institutions e.g. public safety offices, hospitals,
assisted care facilities, etc) to compel continued participation, or to enlist
new participation. Our program has been successful for many years and the
residents know they can take back rather than flush or dump their unused
meds.</FONT></DIV>
