New Billboard Reminds Residents of Law
An awareness and education campaign to reduce underage drinking

to get the message out that the legal drinking age is 21.

ASSET BUILDING CHALLENGE:
Southington's Town-wide Effort to Promote Success is all
about helping youth thrive. One major way to do this is to
make sure youth feel valued, not just by teachers and
parents, but the entire community in which they live. Do
your part to help a youth you know build the
October asset #16: High Expectations.
