Not One More
|
The "Not One More" program is a one hour teenage driver safety forum that was started by two reporters from the Times Herald Record. In 2007, with the their guidance, we adopted and presented our version to a packed auditorium at the Minisink Valley Middle School. Guest speakers included law enforcement, emergency services, county coroner officials and accident survivors who discuss their experiences of dealing with the aftermath of crashes involving teens.
