NEW Draw the Line Underage Alcohol Prevention Campaign:

Madison Chatham Coalition Partners with Police and Businesses

The Madison Chatham Coalition, with support from Madison Borough, Chatham Borough and Chatham Township Police Departments, is proud to launch a new underage alcohol prevention campaign, Draw the Line.

This campaign encourages families to monitor the alcohol they keep in their homes.

A campaign overview, as well as tips and conversation starters on ways to discuss substance use with teens is included in the rack card display at the following liquor stores: Hickory Wine Cellar in Chatham Township, Cottage Deli and Wine in Chatham Borough and Main Street Wine Cellar in Madison. Parents are encouraged to take and read over the rack cards. The Madison Chatham Coalition hopes to expand this campaign to the additional liquor stores in Madison and the Chathams this winter.
