On Dec. 8 the News Tribune ran an article describing three parties in Pierce County where parents were arrested for serving alcohol to minors.  They are excellent examples of what happens in every community but this time the parents were caught.

Here’s an idea:   This time of year is a good time to remind parents of the consequences of providing alcohol to minors.  You could lift the three recent examples in this article to get coverage in your local newspaper, school parent newsletter, or on your website and then add the facts from “Don’t be party to underage drinking” on the StartTalkingNow.org website under the tab “What Should I Say.” 

I’m also attaching two publications developed by local communities that you are welcome to use.
