“Party Your Life Away” A Mannequin Challenge
5C, with the help of community partners, created a message to the
community to remember how important decisions can be when it comes to
alcohol, parties, and driving. If you haven’t seen the video, you can find it on
5C’s YouTube Channel or by clicking HERE.
Great opportunity to pair with awareness weeks or discussions at school!
Social Host Team Update:
Over the coming months, 5C will
continue to share information about the
current law to increase knowledge and
gain feedback. The coalition is still
looking into a local ordinance that would
address higher fines as it was identified
in the polls.
If you would like to be a part of this
team, contact us to learn more.
Iowa’s Social Host Law prohibits all owners, lessees and persons in
control over any property which is not a licensed premises from knowingly permitting anyone under the age of
18 from consuming or possessing alcoholic liquor, wine or beer on the
property.
Violators are subject to a fine of $200 + $70 surcharge + court costs. Fines for second or subsequent offenses are $500 + $175 surcharge + court
costs. Other financial consequences may include
increased property insurance, or loss of property insurance. You may want to think
about the cost to you before allowing underage persons to drink on your property.
“Partner in Prevention” Recognition Campaign
Businesses or community members who partner with or donate funds to the 5C Coalition, will receive a window decal to recognize their support in preventing drug use in the county. Each year we will change the year on the decal for new partners, and create small decals with the new
year for repeat partners. This will allow 5C to recognize their partners and donors year after year, as well as show community members the support for drug prevention in the county through area partners.
Partners to Date in 2018:
American Family Insurance Agent, Elkader
Central Community School District
Central State Bank, Elkader
