Maine Community Youth Assistance Foundation will co-sponsor "What Choices Will You Make" with the Park Ridge Chamber of Commerce Health Forum sponsored by Presence Resurrection Health. The night is aimed at parents and children ages 11-15 who will be making transitions to Middle School and High School Freshman Year.

Topics covered will be bullying, drug and alcohol abuse prevention, and consequences of bad choices.
