City of Takoma Park officials, together with Montgomery County and community members, will participate in a panel discussion to raise awareness of underage drinking on Wednesday, June 4, from 6:30 to 9:00 p.m. at the Takoma Park Community Center Auditorium, 7500 Maple Avenue, 2nd Floor, Takoma Park, Maryland. Mayor Bruce Williams and Police Chief Ronald Ricucci will present opening remarks.
The community forum, called “Keeping it Safe,” will include discussions about social host liability laws, how to protect your teen from underage drinking, house parties and community resources. A question and answer session will follow the discussions.

The forum is free and open to all. Light refreshments will be served. Reservations are requested, but not required.
