It's Prom Night: Do You Know What Your Kids Are Drinking?

MAC has signed on to the effort, which is also sponsored by the Morris County Department of Human Services, the Morris County Partners in Substance Abuse Prevention, the Community Coalition for a Safe and Healthy Morris, the St. Clare’s Health System, the Governor’s Council on Alcoholism and Drug Abuse, the Morris County Prosecutor's Office, the Morris County Sheriff’s Office; and municipal alliances from various Morris towns.
