Fallin receives recognition from Century Council
November 20, 2009Edmond Sun
Congresswoman Mary Fallin, R-Oklahoma, has been recognized by The Century Council, a national not-for-profit organization funded by distillers, for her outstanding commitment to fighting drunk driving and underage drinking. Fallin, who represents the 5th District, was one of 21 members of Congress to be honored for her ongoing dedication.
In June, Fallin provided leadership and support for The Century Council's Ask, Listen, Learn initiative on Capitol Hill in Washington, D.C. The Ask, Listen, Learn program recognizes that the key to stopping underage drinking is communication between parents and children, and it encourages parents to talk with their children early and often about the dangers and risks associated with underage drinking. At the Capitol Hill event, The Century Council partnered with Olympic gold medalist Misty May-Treanor and NBA All-Star Antawn Jamison to promote youth living a healthy and active lifestyle and remaining alcohol-free.
