The Big Day!!! (Part 2)

After the great presentation, everyone resumed class as normal.
However, at lunch time, there were a bunch of other activities to participate in.

First off, our club set up a table by the lunch room, and had a survey that we used to collect statistics about the student body. Using candy as an incentive for participation, we recieved hundreds of surveys! We'll post the results once we tally them up later this week! Stay Tuned!

Also set up next to us was a group call PACT (positive alternative choices for teens). They had a survey to fill out regarding the presentation earlier in the day. As incentive to fill out the survey they had a raffle! There were a bunch of great prizes, from an ipod to some really cool seatbelt belts! (both of which our club donated)



And next to the PACT table was an informational one by the police department!

Next to that, were the "drunk goggles". Students would put them on, and try to walk a straight path on a taped down line. The goggles really make it seem as if you are intoxicated, and help you realize what a dumb decision it would be to drive drunk.


And finally, the police also brought along TWO squad cars that were crashed into when they were stopped on the side of the road. One of the state troopers at the presentation was the one who was in one of the cars that was crashed into, so she was there to tell her story.



Also, there was a nice pickup truck that was seized from a drunk driver by the police. Yes they can do that! I heard from one officer that they are in the process of seizing a nice new Hummer!


Our lunchtime activities got great responses, and many visitors, for it was right outside the lunchroom!

All in all, this day was a great success, and had a good impact on the students.
