A town hall-style meeting about curbing underage drinking is scheduled Thursday at Franklin Academy Elementary Medical Sciences and Wellness Magnet School cafeteria.
The meeting, sponsored by Communities Striving to Prevent Underage Drinking, starts at 6 p.m.
CSPUD was formed by Brandy Andrews and Molly Portera, Community Counseling Services prevention specialists. The coalition is designed to educate people on the problems associated with underage drinking.
“April is National Alcohol Awareness Month, and the Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration has asked us to hold a town hall meeting during this month,” Andrews said.
