IMPACT DWI Forum
100 turn out to talk DWI Deterrence
About 100 people attended a DWI forum on on Wednesday, July 1, 2009 at the Santa Fe Community College
to listen to and share some of their own suggestions of how to stop drunk driving.
The forum came 10 days after four Santa Fe teens were killed in an accident police say was caused by a drunken driver.

Because of the recent tragic crash that ended four young lives in our community,
Impact DWI sponsored a Community Forum to provide an opportunity for citizens to share opinions and
what citizens and legislators can do to help reduce DWI.

CLICK HERE to view the Follow-up Meeting on Proposals to Reduce DWI - July 15, 2009
There were 16 people present including 2 police officers and a sheriff’s deputy.
We are now waiting for leaders/organizers to produce a brief description of what they want to work on. I will send such things to all and post it on our website.
I will lead initiatives to close loopholes in our interlock legislation and possibly several othert ideas and I will send out that information to all interested parties.
