On the alphabet soup front, MCSAAC stands for Middlesex County Substance Abuse Action Council, a prevention organization that works to reduce substance abuse in Middlesex County. The East Hampton LPC (Local Prevention Council) is an offshoot of MCSAAC; the LPC is made up of volunteers and sponsors prevention programs in our community.
