| IMPACT WAXAHACHIE, WAXAHACHIE GROUPS SPEAK OUT ABOUT SOCIAL HOSTING AND UNDERAGE DRINKING |
 WAXAHACHIE - Local residents and members of IMPACT Waxahachie will launch a media campaign about how serving alcohol to young people affects our community and what adults can do to help prevent it. A family oriented public kick off event will be held at the Waxahachie High School Parking Lot near the Fine Arts Center entrance (1000 N. Highway 77, Waxahachie, TX 75165) on Saturday, April 10th from 2:00 - 3:00 p.m. The event will feature entertainment by the Waxahachie High School Drum Line, interactive displays by Waxahachie Police, Waxahachie Fire, and Ellis County Sheriff's Office, and food giveaways by Chik-Fil-A of Waxahachie. The event kicks off the Second Annual Those Who Host Lose the Most campaign that educates adults on the legal, health and social consequences of underage drinking. Each year, alcohol kills 6 ½ times more young people than all other illegal drugs combined. In addition, students who use alcohol during adolescence have a reduced ability to learn, compared with those youth who do not drink until adulthood. Some studies reveal up to a 10% decrease in learning ability for adolescents who drink even occasionally. Featured speaker for the event, Ellis County Judge Carol Bush, reports "Students are at risk of academic, social, emotional and physical consequences as a result of underage drinking. Unfortunately, the number one source of alcohol for students is parents and other adults." The event is sponsored by: Drug Prevention Resources Inc. and IMPACT Waxahachie. Those Who Host Lose the Most is based on a program of the Drug-Free Action Alliance. "Don't be a party to underage drinking. It's against the law."
