Message Monday - Party check list: lawn games, bbq, designated driver
If you’re planning to get together with friends and family this Memorial Day, make sure to add designating a sober driver to your party check list.
If you’re serving alcohol at your get-together, take the initiative to make sure all of your guests are safe. Whether that means a sober driver to take someone home, offering your guest room or couch to a friend who has been drinking, or calling a rideshare service to get your friends and family safely home, the power is in your hands to have a great party everyone will remember for the right reasons.
