Launch of 40 Days to Freedom

The “40 Days to Freedom” kicked off with an informational session, hosted by Toney Bailey, Arkansas Department of Health and Dr. Marian Evans, MISRGO, November 30th. Individuals attending represented Central Arkansas’ faith-based community. The training session, which served as an opportunity for faith-based leaders and representatives to learn how they may each contribute to the anti-tobacco efforts taking place in Arkansas, took place December 9th. The session was led by Reverend Elaine P. Mangrum Walters, a nationally-known preacher, author, speaker and teacher. There were more than 25 individuals within the faith-based community that either expressed interest in the program or attended the training session!
