The goal of SADD was to help elimi- nate driving drunk and to save lives by alerting students to the dangers of drinking and driving, conducting com- munity alcohol awareness programs, and organizing peer counseling for those with concerns about alcohol. SADD is an awareness program. We're not trying to preach to students and tell them they can't drink, we just want to teach them to avoid drinking and driving, commented sponsor Mr. Ron Zeilenga. r aww saw? WQ WZ? To help promote the SADD mes- sage, the club was divided into five committees: activities, Kim Sims and Connie Winter, publicity, Kris Lovell and Paula Franson, fundraising, Mike Stone and Matt Splant, speakers, Rob Winter and Roy Miller, and recruitment, Barb Daugharty and Julie O'Neill. The major activity was a May as- sembly which featured student and community speakers. Vice president Julie O'Neill stated, We felt it was im- portant to hold the assembly around Prom and graduation because that was the time when students were es- pecially tempted to drink and drive. By promoting awareness among stu- dents, SADD members attempted to eliminate drinking and driving, m is- SADD: Front Row: Lisa Amsden, April Branch, Kris- tin Lafleur, lrene Montesinos, Barb Daugharty qpresg, Gina Krueger: Row 2: Lisa Duran, Sandra l-lochberg, Rene Woods, Teresa Marroquin, Don- na Ward, Ta-Tanisha Payne, Kim Swigart: Row 3: Sheryl Gleim, Tina Bona, Rob Winter Qsecq, Debi Sylvestrak, Chellie Ferczok, Laurie Merritt, Lara Pseno, Doreen Brown: Row A: LaTrease Thigpen, Kim Sims, Kris Baron, Kris Lovell, Dawn Ruisz, Laura Steele, Michelle Wozniak, Mr. Ron Zeilenga: Back Row: Karen Schwartz, Sharnia Bullock, Julie O'Neill Cv. presj, Lakeith l-loskin, Mike Stone, Ed Moore, Frank Davis Chellie Ferczok, junior, makes posters to be dis- played throughout the school.
