This month, the California Friday Night Live Partnership (CFNLP) is working with its longtime partner, the University of California San Francisco (UCSF), to survey youth and adults on their attitudes concerning alcohol. The brief survey, available at https://tiny.ucsf.edu/A52Qm2, asks respondents about why and how minors drink, and about their attitude concerning alcohol availability.

Students, educators, and community members across California are encouraged to take the survey, which closes on February 27, 2026. Once the survey has closed, UCSF will compile the data and share it with the CFNLP, which will make it available to school FNL chapters throughout the state.

Colin was recognized this month at the Visalia Downtown Kiwanis Pursuing Victory with Honor Luncheon. Coach Ficher says, “I’m honored to brag about Colin a bit. I’ve known him since his freshman year of high school and have enjoyed coaching him on varsity ever since. I’ve watched him face tough challenges in practice and games with a consistently positive attitude, earning the deep respect of teammates and coaches alike. Colin works hard, strives to improve daily, and reflects Christ’s love through his actions both on and off the field.”
