Every 15 Minutes
We thank all of those that assisted with the production of our Every 15 Minutes program that took place on March 24th and 25th. The program, which focused on the consequences associated with drinking and driving, drove home the need for teenagers to think about drinking, driving, personal safety, and the responsibility of making mature decisions and how those decisions will impact family, friends, and our community. For those who have not yet seen the video put together by the production company of the event, please click this link.
