COMMUNITY INVOLVEMENT: MADD (MOTHER'S AGAINST DRUNK DRIVING)
Priscilla has volunteered with Mother's Against Drunk Drivers since 1990 and has worked to pass several bills attempting to eliminate driiving while drunk. As a member of Minnesota Join Together (an organization with a $850,000.00 grant from the Robert Wood Foundation with the purpose of reducing alcohol to teens), Priscilla led a committee to write the legislation for a social host bill which allows for civil liability against adults who serve alcohol to minors. That bill passed both the House and Senate and in May 2000 was signed into law by Governor Ventura. It has the potential of being a strong deterrent to adults providing alcohol to minors. (For more information see Legal Rights Drunk Driving Victims/Social Host for Minors). Priscilla served as a Council Woman on her local City Council.
