Alcohol consumed or possessed by person under the age of 21 years is against the law.
It is against the law to furnish alcohol to anyone under the age of 21 years, or knowingly allow the consumption or possession of alcohol by a minor.
The parent or other person who knowingly allows or furnishes alcohol or illegal drugs at their home, a rented room, a limousine or any other location where young people under the age of 21 years congregate, is guilty of breaking the law and may be convicted of a misdemeanor.
If you (the parent/guardian) or your son or daughter is convicted of a misdemeanor, you may be sentenced up to 93 days in jail, fined up to $1,000 and you will have a criminal record.

DFC - Federal Grant Announcement
We have GREAT news for our youth, families and community! The Coalition was awarded one of only 87 new Drug Free Community Support Program Matching Grants (DFC) from the Executive Office of the President, Office of National Drug Control Policy. This is quite an accomplishment considering there were 452 applicants from across the nation this year!
This is a 5 year award for $125k per year of Federal funding with a required yearly non-Federal match. Since the Coalition will be in years 6-10 of the DFC funding process, our non-Federal matching requirement by year is:
Fiscal year 2011-2012: 100% $125k ($1:$1 match)
Fiscal year 2012-2013: 125% match = $156,250k
Fiscal year 2013-2014: 125% match = $156,250k
Fiscal year 2014-2015: 150% match = $187, 500k
Fiscal year 2015-2016: 150% match = $187,500k
(The Coalition's fiscal year runs October 1 - September 30. Also, the non-Federal match can be made up of financial and in-kind support.)
This is a wonderful opportunity for people from our entire community to come together and develop a sustainable future to prevent substance use and abuse by our youth!
