D.A.R.E. HOUSE Drug Abuse Resistance Education (D.A.R.E.) is a 17-week drug education program taught by specially trained, uniformed law enforcement officers. Through D.A.R.E., fifth and sixth grade students, their teachers, and parents all learn ways to identify and resist the social pressures to use drugs, and stay violence free. The City of Ramsey and Minnesota D.A.R.E., Inc. are in the process of coordinating efforts to have a house built in the City of Ramsey. This project, which will be completed primarily through donated time and materials, will benefit both the City of. Ramsey D.A.R.E. program and Minnesota D.A.R.E., Inc. Any profits from the sale of the house will be split between the City and State D.A.R.E. programs. The D.A.R.E. house will be partially built by Extreme Panel Technologies at the Home and Garden Show to be held at the Minneapolis Convention Center in March. This structural insulated panel home will then be constructed on site in the City of Ramsey. A sponsor board naming those contributing to the project will be on display at the show as well as at the location of the home in Ramsey. The project task force has currently received commitments for conudbutions to various areas of the house and the lot that it will be built on in the City of Ramsey. Some of these contributors are as follows: Extreme Panel Technologies Rum River Lumber Air Mechanical Marvin Windows Good Value Homes Countryside Printing Hakanson Anderson Associates, Inc. Passe Engineering Inc. We are asking that you and/or your company consider supporting this project by donating your product, labor or financial support. Your name or your company's name will be listed on a sponsor list at The Home and Garden Show, as well as at the D.A.R.E. house in Ramsey.
