The Cobb Alcohol Taskforce has been missing the youth voice in our efforts to curtail underage drinking. We hope that you know of two outstanding youth in your schools, churches, household or community youth organizations that would be interested in serving on the CAT Youth Council. We are planning a Youth Summit on Saturday, March 6th for all the youth to meet, greet, and listen to their voice about underage drinking. Application deadline is January 29th.
