This is an interactive event hosted by MADD and ASAP's Alcohol Initiatives Committee! Youth will experience via stations:  what alcohol does to your body; what it’s like to be under the influence; what could happen if they were to get a DUI; and what consequences substance use and a DUI could have on their life. While teens go through these exhibits, parents will view presentations from different sectors of the community as well.  The goal is to give a hands-on experience in order to prevent alcohol misuse, underage access, and intoxicated driving. FREE DINNER; CHANCE TO WIN A $100 visa gift card for youth and parents. COMPLETION CERTIFICATES & VOLUNTEER HOURS FOR YOUTH. Please join us at the Pasco Hernando State College West Campus on November 9th at 5:30pm. No need to register.
