This task force aims at educating teens and adults about the dangers and consequences of underage drinking.<br /><br />During the past two years they have been attacking the problem through a combination of media (e.g., newspaper ads and stories, moving billboards, banners, posters), enforcement (e.g., party patrols, checks of bars and liquor stores), and policy (e.g., underage drinking ordinances, training of liquor servers, school policies).<br /><br />How effective have their efforts been? That is where you come in. Please take the <a href="http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/5FGHMLY">survey</a>. It's only 5 minutes long and confidential. Also the information gathered will help the task force as they move towards reducing this $218 million problem.Christinahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09940674869323300126noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5432044325818177007.post-1389881867958130102010-04-19T08:14:00.000-07:002010-04-19T08:27:03.760-07:00Meet the Poets & Open Poetry Mic!<a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPX9NOJlN8vfEOKpg5cvrTwLQhkxx7hDf5swfP3_uNqgPktLfCpkwYREU_UxJlha_l2zGnE00DBANxnDMf4EnO0TPCQDfSYcViRRqbNbltBIXWZMiW_DY_fqSwExTisohokGtZaBktcmQ_/s1600/Poetry+Month.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 400px; height: 300px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjPX9NOJlN8vfEOKpg5cvrTwLQhkxx7hDf5swfP3_uNqgPktLfCpkwYREU_UxJlha_l2zGnE00DBANxnDMf4EnO0TPCQDfSYcViRRqbNbltBIXWZMiW_DY_fqSwExTisohokGtZaBktcmQ_/s400/Poetry+Month.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5461870457855380050" /></a><br />This is one of the coolest happenings MPL has had the radical distinction to host, daddy-o.
