NAIL and Diana EURITT were eager to accept the funds for park improvements. In April, Kellerton City Park and
baseball field adopted a tobacco-free policy that prohibits the use of all tobacco products on park grounds. Policies
like the one in Kellerton that limit kids' exposure to tobacco products can help them choose a life that doesn't lead
to nicotine addiction.
