The Worth Caring Coalition is hosting a Town Hall Meeting on Thurs., March 27 from 6:30-8 at the Grant City Christian Church. A light dinner will be served.
The results of a survey conducted during the Courtwarming basketball game indicated that 88% of those who responded felt that Worth County has an underage drinking problem.
The town hall meeting will feature a member of the highway patrol, students, a school staff member, and a parent talking about the concern. Efforts begun by the Coalition to educate community members on the dangers of underage drinking, to increase activities for students, and to increase stronger and more consistent enforcement of no-alcohol policies will be shared.
Ideas for families and for communities will be distributed. Please plan to attend, and if possible, RSVP to Kandi Sorensen at 660-564-3389.
The Underage Drinking Prevention Town Hall Meetings are a part of a national effort to increase understanding and awareness of the underage drinking and its consequences. Up to 2,000 organizations are hosting meetings thought the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration and the Federal Interagency Coordinating Committee on Underage Drinking.
