After Prom Party Guide aims to prevent prom
night tragedies
A
"Fast Start" approach to planning an after prom party for high
school seniors presented as an instant download eBook. How to make prom night one to remember - not a
tragic night to forget.
KALISPELL, MT―November
26, 2006― The
high school senior prom is
supposed to be one of the happiest days of our children's life, but for too many
kids it turns into a horrible tragedy. Drugs, alcohol and a "coming-of-age tradition" of
rowdy parties usually means that some kids will end their revelry in
police custody or with hangovers, and far too many vehicle accidents - or
worse.
According to the U.S. Dept. of Transportation, on a typical prom
weekend, 48 American teenagers are killed in vehicle crashes and 40
percent of the deaths are alcohol-related. Lori Heatherington discovered those shocking facts soon after her daughter
announced she had been asked to the senior prom, and the topic of an After Prom party
was discussed.
After discovering the DOT statistics, and
learning that her daughter's school was making no provisions for an After Prom event, Lori
decided to get organized and make something happen.
Her remarkable efforts resulted in an After Prom party that was more
appealing to the students than engaging in other potentially dangerous
activities. The party was such a huge success that the school requested
that Lori pass on her notes, outline and plan so that it could be used in
upcoming years.
Heatherington realized that parents and
schools across the country could benefit from her hard won knowledge, so
at the urging of other parents, she compiled her exhaustive notes into a
comprehensive how to guide. The 'After Prom Party Guide' is
a step-by-step instruction manual for parents and school organizations
(PTAs, PTOs) who want to know how to plan a compelling alternative to
non-sanctioned activities after the prom.
The After Prom Party Guide is a "Fast Start",
in-depth blueprint that covers
everything from facility selection and fundraising to meeting agendas,
liability and security issues, decorating, party themes and every
related topic. Also included are form letters, checklists and even a
creative telemarketing script to be used when requesting donations from
businesses. Heatherington offers tips on how to win over the teenagers by promising and delivering a fun-filled and entertaining
party. The 'After Prom Party Planning Handbook' sells for
$24.97 and is available for immediate download from her website,
www.after-prom.org.
