Commands at Naval Air Station Whidbey Island have an opportunity to schedule two DUI/substance abuse prevention panels in March.

The panels are an ongoing joint safety effort between NAS Whidbey Island and the Impaired Driving Impact Panel of Island County (IDIPIC).

Subtitled “Not Only for the Young or the Reckless,” the presentations for men and women of all ages will be held at the Skywarrior Theater. Panels run about two hours depending on the speaker portion and are as a “stand alone safety stand down.” Attendees should be there for the entire panel to get the full experience.

Contact IDIPIC director JoAnn Hellmann for questions or to schedule attendance, whether you have a small group or an entire command. She can be reached at 672-8219 or idipic@idipic.org. Please schedule at least two weeks in advance.

IDIPIC’s mission is to deter driving under the influence and underage drinking in our communities through education and awareness. For more information, go to www.idipic.org.
