Several years ago CNOA
was asked to manage the "Narcotic Educational Foundation of America"
also known as (NEFA). The request came from Mr. Henry Hall whose father
started NEFA in 1924 as a non-profit, public, educational organization.
Mr. Hall was the oldest active member of CNOA before his death at the
age of 92, and spent his entire adult life educating the general public
about drug abuse.
As CNOA continues to
manage the Narcotic Educational Foundation of America so will the
tradition of educating children about the dangers of drug abuse. NEFA
provides drug abuse information free of charge to any parent, teacher or
member of the community who might have questions or concerns about the
dangers of controlled substance abuse.
Due to the
ever-changing drug trends in America, providing up-to-date information
has always been a priority as well as a great challenge. NEFA
researchers continue to review the overwhelming amount of educational
information available to us, in turn, sharing the most dynamic and
objective information with our members and the community. .
Additionally, the
Foundation provides information/training for our members and other law
enforcement personnel in the area of drug enforcement issues, helping to
prepare them for the professional tasks they are confronted with on a
daily basis.
NEFA and CNOA also take
pride in the relationship we have with the youth in our communities. In
memory of Henry Hall and his lifetime work, NEFA and CNOA have initiated
the Annual Poster Drawing Contest for 5th and 6th grade students
throughout the State of California. NEFA and CNOA also sponsor the "Red
Ribbon Week Essay Contest" for 7th and 8th grade
students in California during the states well-recognized "Red Ribbon
Week". Both contests have the "Say No to Drugs" theme with an emphasis
on the dangers of drug abuse. Winners are awarded a certificate for an
U.S. Savings Bond toward the student's scholarship fund.

11th
Annual Henry Hall Scholarship Poster Drawing Contest
Several years ago CNOA was requested to manage the "Narcotic Educational Foundation of America" also known as NEFA. The request came from Mr. Henry Hall, the oldest CNOA member. Henry was an active CNOA member in Region III until his death at the age of 92. He spent his entire adult life educating the general public about drug abuse. Henry's father started NEFA in 1924 as a non-profit, public, educational organization.
NEFA and CNOA initiated the First Annual Poster Drawing Contest in 1999 in memory of Henry Hall and his lifetime work. The contest is for 5th and 6th grade students throughout the State of California. One student from Northern California and one student from Southern California are chosen.
The students are required to draw a poster representing the theme "Say No to Drugs." After the posters are drawn and submitted to CNOA, they are judged by a panel from NEFA and CNOA.
CNOA is proud to announce the winners of the "Eighth Annual Henry
Hall Scholarship Poster Drawing Contest".
The awards are a gift certificate for a $1,000 U.S. Savings Bond towards the Scholarship of each winner. Henry Hall donated $25,000 to initiate the Scholarship Fund. The winners will receive the Savings Bonds at a CNOA Regional Luncheon in their respective areas.

From: Narcotic
Educational Foundation of America and Survivors' Memorial Fund
Now
you can donate your old cars or cellular phones and make a difference.
Through our donation programs you can support the Narcotic Educational
Foundation of America or the Survivors Memorial Fund.
Donate
your used car, truck, boat or RV
to the California
Narcotic Officers' Association and we'll arrange to have it picked up free
of charge. We accept most vehicles, even if they don't run. Some
restrictions may apply on older vehicles, though. It's easy and convenient,
and you'll be eligible for a tax deduction as well!
Why
donate my vehicle?
It's much easier to
donate your used vehicle than it is to sell it yourself. And the tax savings
might even be more than what you would receive from a trade in. You’ll be
spared the ordeal of selling your vehicle.
How to
make a car donation
Donating is easy! You can
fill out our form, or call California
Narcotic Officers' Association at: (877) 775-NARC
Donate
Your Old Cellular Phones to CNOA
We have entered into an
interesting program, it's called Phone Recycling, and it allows us to raise
funds for the Narcotic Educational
Foundation of America by collecting used wireless phones. The
phones are recycled, with a portion of the proceeds going to the
Narcotic Educational Foundation of America.
With an estimated 30 million inactive cell phones out there, the potential
is tremendous.
Each of these unused
phones contains hazardous waste that is harmful for the environment. By
donating your phone, you help the NEFA,
you help the environment and receive a tax deduction for the value of the
phone.
If your agency has a bunch of old phones lying around, this is a great way
to properly dispose of them, and raise money for a very worthy cause.
How to make a Cellular Phone Donation
Phones will be collected at all CNOA Regional and State functions. Contact
your Regional Chairperson or CNOA Office for additional information.
