           DID YOU KNOW?

Effective May 1, 2009, if you are caught with a Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) of 0.05 to 0.08 your license will be suspended for three  to 30 days.

If you are over the legal limit, it will take about six hours for your body to get rid of all the alcohol.

One in three people who die in alcohol-related crashes are under the age of 25.

At a level of .15 your likelihood of being in a collision where somebody dies increases by more than 65 times.

DRIVE FOR LIVE GOLF TOURNAMENT

2009 HIGH SCHOOL MULTIMEDIA PRESENTATION

This year MADD London sponsored the presentation in ten local high schools.  The feedback we received was phenomenal.  This really is a vital tool for teaching our youth the real dangers of driving while impaired by alcohol and/or drugs.  It brings it up close and personal and it exposes myths and misinformation about how deadly this can be.  It shows that the "it will never happen to me" mentality is false and that it can happen to them.

Thank you also to the schools who paid for their own presentation this year.  We appreciate that you take this topic seriously and are helping us to get the message out.  Stay tuned for next year's presentation, which will be made possible from the funds raised for the Nick Pisciotto Memorial Drive for Life Golf Tournament and our Strides for Change walk.
