Rotary Donates to Baby Blanket

Chisago County Press August 30, 2013

The Chisago Lakes Rotary Club presented a $5,000 check to Baby Blanket at the regular Rotary meeting August 20. The donation was from proceeds of the annual golf tournament that is held in June. The tournament's main sponsor is Kendall Howard, with generous gifts from other community businesses and individuals making this donation possible.

Speaker – Dr. Amanda Klinger –

“Marijuana use and attitudes toward Marijuana” 

Amanda is a licensed psychologist and is in the role of senior clinician at Hazelden Plymouth, where she primarily does assessments and therapy with young men between the ages of 12 and 26 who are in inpatient chemical dependency treatment. She also supervises students and interns there, and does some college teaching. She earned her PsyD in Clinical Psychology from Pacific University in Oregon in 2012, and has spent her professional career with the Hazelden Betty Ford Foundation. Dr. Klinger’s presentation was on the results of a survey Hazelden did with Q Market Research about marijuana use and attitudes toward marijuana.
