Coalition Partners with Waterfest

The Coalition has partnered with Waterfest in Oshkosh to host a Designated Driver Party Sober table. "Fest-goers" will be given mardi gras beads and free water/soda tickets if they are planning on "partying sober" that night or if they are a desginated driver.





Signs will line the sidewalk with great messaging about what could happen to you if you drive home after drinking alcohol, the difference between a cab ride and an OWI ticket and information about what our Coalition is and does.




We are grateful for the UWO AmeriCorp volunteers that will be energizing the Coalition through the end of July. BUT, more volunteers are still needed! If you are available on a Thursday night from 5:30-7:30pm, please contact Lisa Brown at lbrown@co.winnebago.wi.us for more information.




Check out the Waterfest line-up at http://www.waterfest.org/.

(Did I mention you get into Waterfest FREE if you are volunteering at the table?! ;-) Looks like it will be a great partnership and lots of fun!
