Keep our community safe-Don’t drink and drive.

Cinco de Mayo is a time to celebrate culture and community—but drinking and driving can have life-changing consequences. One decision can lead to crashes, injuries, legal trouble, or loss of life.
Plan ahead—choose a designated driver or a safe ride. Celebrate responsibly and protect what matters most. 🚗
