Dear Mayor ofOro Valley,
( L11tit
Did you know that teen alcohol use kills 4,700 young people each year? More than marijuana,
heroin, coke, and all illegal drugs combined! 4,700 young people also happens to just about equal
the 2013 graduating classes from 8 of our 15 counties here in Arizona.48
PowerTalk 21 April 21 st is a national day for parents and families to start the conversation with the
kids in their lives about alcohol and the dangers of underage drinking. By having these intentional
conversations, parents are able to set expectations and consequences; all while continuing to talk about
the dangers of alcohol and underage drinking.
Research tells us that parents are the#1 influence on their child's decisions about alcohol: unfortunately
students in Arizona tell us that a majority of their parents have not talked to their kids about alcohol and
the dangers of underage drinking,
Because this is such an important safety issue for our youth. I encourage you to join MADD in
commemorating PowerTalk 21 April 21st —as the day for parents and families to talk to kids about the
dangers of underage drinking. I have included the proclamation language. If you prefer, please contact
me and I will send you an electronic copy. You may reach me at 520-322-5253 or
Beverty.masormadd.org if you have any other questions.
Thank you for your efforts to keep our co.mmunities sale.
Sincerely,
“:147" •
