Underage Drinking: Not a MINOR Problem

Are you a parent of school-age children ages 10 and up?

If so, please take the time to watch "Underage Drinking: Not a Minor Problem", a video available online and being broadcast this week on GI-TV.

This informative video provides:
  • Information on State and local laws related to underage drinking;
  • A clear view of enforcement actions associated with underage drinking;
  • The liabilities and fines for adults that have allowed drinking in their homes;
  • The impacts upon your child's life that echo well beyond the incident.
With Homecoming parties taking place on Grosse Ile and throughout Downriver, it is a perfect time for parents to share this information as a strong caution with their kids, with each other, and with friends.

A collaborative effort of the Grosse Ile Interfaith Council of Churches, the Grosse Ile Police Department and Grosse Ile Township Schools, the video was produced by Elizabeth Ann Ruck of St Thomas Lutheran Church on Grosse Ile.

The video is available online here.


Grosse Ile residents can watch the broadcast on GI-TV from October 4-10 at 9am, 5pm, and 12:03 am.
