Thank you very much Mr. Wade. I'm interested in obtaining the free drug free workplace poster and possibly a free employee and supervisor training DVD as some additional resources to share with our sub-recipients, would it be possible for you to send them to me? We are the DOT in South Dakota, and manage the Section 5309, 5310, 5311, 5316 and 5317 programs from the FTA. Thanks for your consideration.

Hi, Chuck.  You did a great job at our GHA WC Fund educational programs in October. Even though I'd heard your presentation several times, I become aware of more facts each time I hear you. At that time, you mentioned you could send some new training CD's. If so, may I have a few, please? Thanks again for all your help.

Staci, the drug kits are very user friendly. We did random drug testing on March 23, and the test kits performed well. Our cost for testing 10 employees was $140.00 compared to $350.00 if we had used an outside agency to do the test. That alone is a $210.00 savings for the city. In these days of cost cuts, hiring freezes, and fuel prices any amount saved adds up. Thanks again for all your help and support.

Hi Leanne, This workshop was fantastic. I got more out of this workshop than any I have ever attended. Kudos to Chuck Wade! I learned that I have not been getting the Supervisor's Newsletter nor all of the employee newsletters.  I was wondering if you could possibly send me 2011 supervisors and employee newsletters via email?  Also, quick question- how can I find out my status (0 tolerance? etc.) and how many years have we been certified. I am new to my position and cannot locate that info. Thanks for your help.

Some of its members include management level employees of Toppan InterAmerica, Inc., Briggs & Stratton (Snapper), Southern States Inc., Sports Authority (logistics), Ken's Foods (logistics), Goodyear, GA Power Service Center, etc. We anticipate 15 to 20 representatives from companies of this type to attend the meeting.

Great job and I really appreciate your willingness to help us out!  I believe everyone came away fired up to get started on the Drug Free Workplace Program. Sorry we had to cut the talk a little short, but the room rental was up at 1 o’clock. I for one appreciate your witness in the presentation and like you, don’t have a problem with it. Thanks for sharing!

I'm glad God is working through you to educate as many as possible about the dangers of drug use. I would like for you to speak in Barnesville in the near future either at our church, school, or through the chamber. I'll arrange the details and get back with you. The following is more proof that the United States is becoming more like Rome.

Chuck, thanks for the very powerful presentation this morning. I have seldom if ever heard anything more convincing. As I asked this morning, how can we help you here? You can look on our website (www.carterelectriccompany.com > About Us > Our Newsletter (click the link in the box on the upper right) and you will see that we belong to the program, we distribute the Newsletters, and stress that our employees read the letters. Tell me how we can put your link on our website (and send me a .jpg of your logo) so we can help you spread the word. What should we say (a sentence or two will be fine) alongside the logo to emphasize your support of us and ours of your organization? God Bless you for your efforts.

Hello, Chuck, I attended your presentation this morning to the Columbia County Chamber of Commerce, and was very interested in all you had to say. Thank you for being so passionate about this problem. Our company already implements the 5 steps for certification, but only need to be officially certified as doing so. You mentioned this morning that there is a website which allows for certification online.  Would you mind sending me that address?
Thanks so much!

Thank you to the Johns Creek Chamber for organizing the Drugs Don’t Work Workshop. This workshop couldn’t have come at a better time for me and my business because I have been researching the benefits of drug testing employees for some time now. Chuck Wade, President & CEO of the Drugs Don’t Work Organization was quite an engaging speaker not only did he answer our many questions, but he provided all the information needed to get certified by the state in 6 simple steps. Chuck also promises to hold your attention throughout the entire process. His personal work experience as an ex-narcotics agent was so interesting, and the facts that he brought to the table were absolutely unbelievable. I believe this workshop will not only save my company money on our Workmen’s Compensation Insurance but it will also save time & money in the hiring process by providing AtHomeNet with employees who will come to work and be productive because they don’t have drug issues. I feel every employer should take the time to attend the Drugs Don’t Work Workshop, the benefits will pay you back ten-fold. Because I was so impressed with Chuck and his program(s) I am going to work with the chamber to bring parents of teens together to attend a 16 Step Education Program to keep our kids off drugs.
Sincerely,

Kathy Driscoll

Good morning! As we've discussed, the response from the seminar was very positive. THANK YOU!!! Our principal has mentioned that she'd like to take the presentations before the student body in an assembly.

Chuck, thank you so much! You would certainly be very proud of the response we have received from the training this year. We have employees in 3 locations, Macon, GA, Montgomery, AL and the corporate office is in Columbus, GA. The training has really had a very positive impact on our employees and their families. Kudos to you and your staff.

Chuck, I wanted to take a moment to let you know we used your DVD to facilitate our drug free training for our work place this year. Most of my employees asked if they could get a copy of the DVD (for all employees) so they could share it with children and grand-children. Would it be possible to order that many copies from you?  It made a big impression on them.  The DVD is much appreciated as is your commitment to helping us keep all of our employees and their families drug free.
Sincerely,

Hey Chuck, before another day goes by, I wanted to thank you for one of the best coordinators’ meetings we have had! It was most informative and a great learning day. It was fun to see downtown Atlanta after so many years.  Thank you for all you, Leann and Simone do.   Ron is presently on vacation, but we briefly discussed how can we not only can be of better assistance to our Chamber DDW members, but how can we work closer with the Council? How do the other Chambers work with you? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. We didn’t have time to visit this time, but I did catch about your father.  Hope all is well with him and you.  Take care and keep up the good work! I’m personally still very interested in the Alabama idea as well.

Chuck - Once again, we'd like to express our appreciation for your time and the excellent presentation you made today. We heard many agents state that "this was the best class yet"! If possible, we might want to ask you again to participate, if you are willing. Next time, however, we would like to take you to lunch! If you will, please give me your mailing address - some agents said they needed to send you their Registration Form. Thanks, Chuck, and we hope to work with you again!

Hi Chuck, I hope you are doing well. You may recall doing a presentation for the American Society of Safety Engineers Conference in Atlanta, GA a couple of years ago.
Question: Would you be interested in doing one in Jacksonville, FL next March? We would really like to have you there, because I think your presentation is one that everyone can relate to. If you can’t do it because it is out of state, perhaps you have a counterpart down there?
Thanks for your consideration.

I just left the luncheon that was held at Spaulding Regional Women’s center.  You are a wonderful speaker. I would like to ask you for the free information that you mentioned. We are located in Butts County, is that where I need to get a list of counselors? We are a trucking company and have employees from Georgia, Florida, and Tennessee. Would I need to get a counselor for the specific region? Your DVD’s went fast so if I could get one each on Supervisor Training and Employee Training that would be great.
Thanks again.

Hi Chuck. We attended your seminar at HB Training on a Drug Free Work Place. After listening to your presentation (that I was very impressed with) and then returning to the office, I was telling my Dad about it and I would recommend you to anybody wanting a presentation on Drugs Don't Work. After our discussion my Dad was talking to somebody at our church (Smyrna1st UMC) who is in charge of a new program dealing with Drugs & Alcohol and he was very interested in getting in touch with you about doing a presentation. So what I guess I'm asking is my Dad would like to call you and see how to set this up.
Thanks!

Hi Mr. Wade, Just wanted to let you know Bobby really enjoyed the seminar this morning. He was really excited. Wish I could have been there but I live in South Carolina, kind of difficult to drive for a couple of hours. Anyway, I know you sent me the form to sign up for your workbook or releases at one time, but could you send it to me again so I can pay the fee and get us started in the right direction on this.  Do you accept American Express as payment or do we need to send you a check? Thanks again for all your help.

Hi Chuck, I have heard you speak several times and am always mesmerized by your stories.  I am a member of the Steering Committee of Cobb Executive Women and would like to invite you to speak at our November meeting.  I know that’s a ways out, but we try to plan our programs for the entire year.  The meeting is scheduled for 11:30 a.m. on Friday, November 9 at the Georgian Club, and we will treat you to a great lunch!  You would have the opportunity to speak for about 20 minutes to 35-40 of Cobb County’s top executive women from organizations like Southern Tech, Gas South, YWCA, etc.  When I mentioned this at our planning meeting, several of them were unaware of your program but were very interested in learning about it.  I know 20 minutes is not enough time to fully explain your program but hopefully you have a scaled down version of your talk.

I work as a safety instructor for Oconee Fall Line Technical College in Sandersville, Ga. We have 3 MSHA instructors that train about 6,000 miners a year. I would love to share this information with some off the companies we train and maybe help you guys out. Please send me the free DVD you mentioned. Thank you so much and I hope this will continue to be a success!

Chuck, We attended your training seminar yesterday in Lawrenceville and I must say it was one of the best presentations I have been to in the last 38 years. Very well presented and a lot of useful information. The best part was that you included Jesus in your message. Wow, when have I ever heard his name used in a business training seminar? Keep up the good work and let’s get the drug / crime problem in America under control.
Please forward the DVD’s for supervisor and employee training and the training manual to us. We will most likely order the news letter from you in the near future.
Thanks again for a great seminar.
Yours Truly,
