"Film aims to reduce drunken driving" 10:19 AM EST on Friday, November 30, 2007 By Amanda Milkovits Providence Journal Staff Writer "To watch the film The Impact of Your Choice is to see lives arrested in pain."

| "Straight Talk On The Difficult Subject of Teen Drinking" Wednesday, December 5, 2007 by Beth Herman East Bay Newspapers EAST PROVIDENCE – For some, there's a turning point in life where an unanticipated event points them in a direction they couldn't have imagined. If they're really fortunate, that direction has a profound impact on others as well.
