Discussion Highlights:

Substance Abuse Round Table XI minutes were distributed and revised. Participants are asked to bring resource table display brochures to Sabrina before 10/19/05.  

·         Project TEAMS and YELL – See above report. The possibility of including Bristol-Plymouth and Attleboro High School was discussed. Compliance
checks (MADD and local police work together with youth) indicate that just over half of establishments are in compliance.  The age of the clerk seems to influence whether or not carding occurs.   DPH can offer technical assistance once a chair of the
steering committee is chosen.
