A message from our Executive Director, Curt Lavarello

As we head into the holidays, the Sarasota Coalition on Substance Abuse would like to remind everyone not to drink and drive. All so often, we see lives shattered, families destroyed and loved ones killed or injured at what should be a festive, happy time of the year. We know at holiday times people tend to indulge more, but perhaps the greatest gift one can give a loved one is to save their life if they over indulge. A ride home, cab money or just some heart sent friendly advice may be all it takes to insure a safe holiday season.

We have listed a few links with tips to assist you in making your holiday as safe as possible.

Happy Holidays,
Curt Lavarello
