WASHINGTON-- Congressman Jerry Costello (D-IL) recently met with Sparta High School student Christina Dotson - one of 435 youth delegates attending the MADD National Youth Summit to prevent Underage Drinking 2000.
"I was pleased to meet with Christina and learn more about her commitment to tackling the problem of underage drinking in our area," said Costello. "I am hopeful more high school students will become aware of MADD programs through students like Christina."
Dotson was selected to represent the 12th District of Illinois because of her involvement in community affairs and her commitment to fighting underage drinking. Following the Summit, Dotson will help organize Town Hall meetings with community leaders to implement at the local level recommendations developed by youth delegates from across the country.
