The
SADD Calendar includes activities and events that SADD chapters all over the
country can work on together. Many of the events link SADD to larger national
movements. You may add activities from this chapter to fit the interests and
needs of your school and community.
Although some have specific dates, many of these activities can be conducted
anytime during the year. In addition, you can find a larger calendar of national
events and activities on the SADD Web site, www.sadd.org. Check it for more
ideas. Also look for opportunities to participate in special days and events
in your own state and community. Good luck and have fun!
