Guest speakers, community leaders and parents will speak about teens on a variety of topics.

Presentations will be given by Amador County Public Health Officer Dr. Bob Hartmann, California Highway Patrol Public Information Officer Craig Harmon, parent Tina Wurzburger, Amador Superior Court Judge Susan Harlan, insurance saleswoman Anne Lintz, Chris Rice, and representatives from Jackson Police Department and the Amador County Combined Narcotics Enforcement Task Force.

Raffle prizes will be given to two winners for one “behind the wheel session” with Gold Country Driving School, and students can get extra credit in many classes for their attendance of the Teen Driver Night.

The non-profit Council’s “goal is to help parents and teens understand issues surrounding pressures on the teen driver and to offer safety tips and ideas. Organizers said it is clear that the more parents involve themselves in the activities of their teen drivers the fewer accidents occur.

The meeting is 7-8:30 p.m. Thursday, April 26 in the Amador High School cafeteria. For information, call (209)223-1631.
