Our Live Presentation
This
presentation highlights the pit falls that ultimately cost RONNIE
the loss of his life. His abuse
of alcohol destroyed him and we are making
the best use of his personal misfortune and tragedy to convince
others not to follow in his footsteps.
If
I can say or write anything that prevents this tragedy from happening
to just one young person, then I will have reached a milestone.
However, to accomplish this goal we have to go direct to the heart
of the matter, to the young people themselves. We have to interact,
socialize and mingle with them on their level. They are not interested
in being overloaded with a ton of statistics, but they will connect
with a true story of a real person in which they can relate. It
is incumbent upon all of us to bring
to them a message in which each can personally identify.
In
order to do this, through your boosters we will affiliate with
ministers, local community leaders, elected officials, teachers
and coaches, principals and school administrators, PTA’s,
boosters, civic clubs and other groups of individuals. We will
work with all who sincerely care about the education, welfare
and future of the young people of their elementary schools, middle
schools, high schools, colleges and churches. These interested
parties, second only to the parents of the students, have the
closest bond with this circle of young men and women. We
must call on these groups of individuals
and encourage them to become involved as partners in this endeavor.
