Then the club proceeded to organize a school assembly. 5ADD does not deprecate nor support the use of alcohol, however, it does stress that one needs to take re- sponsibility for his actions which includes not driving a vehicle after drinking al- cohol. 5ADD carried this idea to the students during the club fair with a T-shirt raffle. It is SADD ' s hope that people realize their re- sponsibilities so the neg- ative statistics are re- duced. Remember, Friends Don ' t Let Friends Drive Drunk. -jv-i ' vAvrUv 7 ;; ' xMediaClub ' ' , v. 5ADD Ar .- - , ' . ; a ,; ., .
