Some statistics that we were aware of at NL SADD already, but it's nice to get these numbers some more recognition.

I like to believe that our SADD efforts have had a bit to do in changing the culture of our area.

National Youth Traffic Safety Month

From the SADDvocate Newsletter:

Don't forget that May is the second annual National Youth Traffic Safety Month (NYTSM), sponsored by the National Organizations for Youth Safety (NOYS). As a member of NOYS, SADD encourages all chapters to conduct traffic safety activities during May. We've told you about various components of the month in past issues of The SADDvocate, and this month there's one more we want to share with you.

First, here's a reminder that NOYS will offer 50 $1,000 awards for the best NYTSM activities. Last year, 15 SADD chapters were recipients of a $1,000 award, and we're hoping for even more this year! All you need to do is register your activity on the NYTSM website, and you're eligible for an award.
