HistoryPAIN was organized by Bob and Susan Maddox on March 16, 2003. They did this because they had a lot of people coming to them with concerns about the drug problems in their neighborhood and surrounding areas. They thought that, if there were so many others concerned with this problem as they were, that maybe it was time to do something about it instead of just talking about it. They called several people and asked them to get in touch with people who had the same concerns. They set up a meeting at their place of business on March 16, 2003, and were surprised by the turnout of over thirty people in just two day notification. Since that time the organization has grown to a sizeable group of diversified individuals dedicated to curbing this rampantly growing problem in Montague County. We were very fortunate to obtain Jeff Jackson as our spokesperson and president. He has done an excellent job at getting more involvement in PAIN, and at getting us more organized. We have also had request from other counties to become affiliated with PAIN. We continue to grow, and plan to become nationwide. We welcome anyone who would be interested in setting up a chapter of PAIN. MeetingsPAIN meets every third Thursday of the month at the Bowie High School. Everyone is invited to attend these meetings. You don't have to be a parent to be a member of Parents Against Illegal Narcotics (PAIN). We encourage everyone, including our youth to become involved to help in our fight against illegal drugs.
