Anti-Drinking Poster Contest Draws Over 200 Entries

 Creative, thoughtful and occasionally surprising. 

These are words that could describe the more than 200 posters submitted by Warren County students in grades 4-12. Each of the winners of this year’s “Follow Me, I Choose to be Alcohol Free” poster contest, were presented with a ribbon at an annual awards ceremony held at Warren County Community College and school assemblies during the month of June. The fourth annual poster contest was initiated by Paul Rinaldi, President of the Warren County PTA and member of the Warren County Coalition for Healthy & Safe Communities. The Coalition is a program of the Family Guidance Center.

“We had a very good turnout this year,” said Diane Bonelli, Supervisor of the program.”The students were very, very passionate about expressing their views on anti-drinking.” 

Students from throughout Warren County participated in this year’s contest. All entries were on display at Gibson’s Gym in downtown Washington Borough during the Washington Borough Business Improvement District’s Annual Arts and Sweets Festival.
