The holidays are a time to celebrate. And hosting a party can be as fun as the event itself. Every responsible host knows that it’s only a great time if every guest gets home safely.

Here are some tips to help you throw an entertaining and safe party:

As guests RSVP, confirm that they have a plan for a safe way home via a non-drinking designated driver (rideshare service, public transportation, taxi, etc.).

Plan activities like party games or door prize drawings that do not involve alcohol and engage people, resulting in a lower consumption of alcohol.

Do not push drinks! Drinking at a party is not mandatory for having a good time.

Provide plenty of food to keep your guests from drinking on an empty stomach.

Avoid too many salty snacks, which tend to make people thirsty and drink more.

Offer non-alcoholic beverages or mocktails for non-drinking designated drivers and others who prefer not to drink alcohol.

Never serve alcohol to someone under 21 and never ask anyone under 21 to serve alcohol at parties.

If, despite your efforts, some of your guests have had too much to drink, never let them drive home impaired.

Have the number of a taxi service or a rideshare app on hand or offer your sofa to guests who need to stay put.

Have fun – but not too much fun. To be a good host, you should stay within your limits in order to make sure your guests stay within theirs.

On Tuesday, August 5 please go to the polls and support Rochester Community Schools. On the ballot is a millage renewal of 18 mills that provides 14% of the district's operating revenues. THERE WILL BE ZERO INCREASE TO TAXES!! Failure to renew will reduce the operating budget for 2015/16 by approx. $17 million dollars. The RAHCC strongly supports RCS and urges you to get out and vote.

These are great articles to help our understanding of how and why he**in use has become an epidemic in the US - and right here in our own community. Please share this information!

Chasing the he**in resurgence The United States is in the grips of one of the worst he**in epidemics in its history, due in part to a flood of cheap doses of the drug, which can be had for as little as $4 apiece, ordered on dark corners of the Web and delivered to your front door in the suburbs.
