Some schools pay as much as $100,000 to hire a party planner and stage an
After Prom party. If your Zip code isn't 90210, we
have a better alternative.

This mom's "been there - done that" and made it happen, surpassing
everyone's expectations - especially the kids! Lori's results were so
successful, that parents begged her to outline her action plan so they could
use it for future After Prom events. Now, Lori wants to make this available
to every parent in the country and she has made it surprisingly affordable.

Too Many
Deaths
In 2004 during Prom and Graduation Season (April, May, June), 713 youths
under the age of 21 died in alcohol-related traffic fatalities nationwide
according to the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA)
Can
You Chance it?
Approximately two-thirds of teenagers who drink report that they can buy
their own alcohol. ~ MADD
True story, June 2005
Alcohol, no adult
chaperones - police end prom party, call parents, make court date.
The scene ... during a recent morning
was almost typical, except that the 45 teenagers lounging by the
pool, playing basketball or hanging out had just spent the night
in a four-bedroom house, fully stocked with alcohol and not a
single chaperone in sight, officials said. It ended with phone
calls to parents and a court date for the property owner and a
student. The June 11 incident is just one example of how the
prom, once a simple rite of passage, lately resembles an
outrageous, decadent, extravaganza, say Long Island school
officials.

Thanks so
much...
I really liked how easily the book read and how it was divided
up. I printed it and then gave each of my committee heads the chapter that
applied to them. We had our after prom, it was a HUGE success.

Prom - One Of The Most Dangerous Nights Of A Kid's Life
Don't let your teenager become
a statistic on prom
night...
Did you know that according to the U.S. Dept. of Transportation, on a
typical prom weekend:
48 American teenagers are
killed in vehicles
5,202 are injured
40% of the deaths are
alcohol-related
It
is supposed to be one of the happiest days of our kid's life, but for too
many it turns into a horrible tragedy. Prom night is often regarded as
a "right of passage" and too many kids use it
as an excuse to abandon core values, and common sense - and go wild. As parents
and caregivers, it is sometimes necessary to protect our children from
themselves. Prom night is one of our last opportunities to do this.
One mom didn't like those odds...
It doesn't need to happen that way!
Learn how one concerned mom (who happened to have a degree in marketing),
seized control, rallied her community and motivated her daughter's school and the senior class to
take charge of their fate and...
Organize a Drug and Alcohol-Free
FUN
After Prom Party
Motivated
by love and concern for her daughter, and armed only with determination
and her business marketing background, Lori went to work and learned first
hand what needed to be done to coordinate an after prom event for her
daughter's class. She learned the hard way - what to do - and
what not to do
to stage a successful After Prom celebration.
What you don't know is that Lori pulled together this entire affair in
less than eight weeks. She will be the first to admit that, planning should
begin many months before the prom, but it can be done in a hurry if you are late
getting started. At the request of other parents, so as to help others learn
from her first-hand experiences, she wrote a book. And not just any book,
but an eBook that you can download immediately - and begin reading in
minutes. You can start organizing your after prom event
without delay! So what's included?

The Heavy Lifting Has Been Done For You
It is easier to walk in the footsteps of othersthan blaze a new trail yourself.
A while back, Lori was reminiscing about her daughter's prom
during a casual conversation with a friend. She retold the story of
those frenzied months in 2000 when she and a handful of other concerned
parents organized a spectacular after prom party for her daughter's senior
class. During that discussion Lori realized that countless other
parents today were experiencing those same fears and frustrations that she had
a few short years ago, and that what she knew could be of great benefit to
them. An idea to create the After Prom Party
Guide was born.
Lori spent the next year reviewing and rewriting her
original notes and researching new laws, codes and regulations. She
interviewed people from the IRS to professional event planners and
educators to help her develop a planning script that would benefit people
who were now faced with organizing an after prom event.
From her first hand experience and months of intense
research, interviews and consultations, Lori created a manuscript that has
won acclaim from parents, educators and law enforcement professionals.
The After Prom Party Guide is unlike
anything that is available from any source. It is a complete blueprint
for how to stage a FUN, substance-free after prom celebration.
The
After Prom Party Guide is
crammed full of
event planning tips from concept to completion! Coordinate a safe, fun, drug and alcohol-free, teen-focused
celebration with
entertaining and engaging activities.

As a former executive director with the
