Silent Auction <strong>News</strong>: The approval of a date and a venue was tabled until we find a<br />

PARENT ADVISORY COUNCIL<br />
PAC's April 29th parent meeting featured a panel of experts on teenage drug and<br />
alcohol abuse. We also had a surprise guest on the panel. A former <strong>Pali</strong> student<br />
caught parents off guard when he bluntly introduced himself as an alcoholic and drug<br />
addict. He proceeded to captivate the audience with his candid account of the short<br />
road from student/athlete to someone who lied to his family, stole to support his<br />
habits, left <strong>Pali</strong>, lost all his friends, and finally ended up in residential rehab.<br />
Fortunately, he could also tell of his recovery. He's been sober for 10 months.<br />
It was a sobering story for everyone in the room and it made the experts' advice all the<br />
more vital. All of them counseled parents to stay involved in their children's lives and<br />
to pay attention to behavioral changes.
