PARENTS WHO HOST LOSE THE MOST

The Coalition's annual campaign in the Birmingham Bloomfield community is off and running!  Letters have been sent to junior and senior high school parents just in time for prom and graduation celebrations.   The letters remind parents to be diligent in their efforts to keep their celebrations safe and substance-free.

This message became even more relevant  in light of a recent underage party hosted by a mother in our community. 

Read the article about this mother and the  party she hosted from the 3/12/09 Birmingham Eccentric.

What do MIP's, House Parties and Illegal and Prescriptions Drugs All Have in Common?
What do MIP's, house parties, and illegal and prescription drugs all have in common?  They were topics of discussion during a recent presentation by the 48th District Court Judges in the Bloomfield Township courthouse.  The presentation was open to the public in the surrounding communities and sponsored by the Birmingham Bloomfield Community Coalition, Greater West Bloomfield Community Coalition, Alliance of Coalitions for Healthy Communities and the BBFA.


Frisbees are Flying!

The Coalition's Youth Action Board hosted their first Ultimate Frisbee Tournament of 2009 on May 23rd.  Seven teams came to battle it out for the coveted Golden Frisbee Award. 



Parent Who Host Lose the Most - 2009
The Coalition's Parents Who Host Committee successfully completed its annual letter campaign entitled "Parents Who Host Lose the Most."  The campaign reminds parents to be vigilant especially as prom and graduation season approaches and that teens are still legally underage.
