At this first meeting, it was recognized that the group had gotten worse.

A Board of Directors was appointed to oversee the requested community members, physicians, pharmacologists and experienced staff member.
First, they proposed to establish a 24 hour switchboard and guidance center to deal with drug abuse. Second, Headquarters personnel proposed to establish a library concerning drugs and drug abuse for the purpose of providing a resource for concerned citizens.
Headquarters set out to do six thing.
Third, the group behind Headquarters proposed to actively distribute drug abuse information means of speaking engagements, adult education, and the old reliable 'grapevine' so in mourning the loss of a young youth. Fourth, Headquarters would be set up for runaways so that these youths would have an alternative rather than going to a distant city.
Though Headquarters' success has been accented with recollections and financial shortages, it has accomplished a great deal. The reputation of Headquarters as the source of help has spread rapidly through the community, and the switchboard operating on two
