Dear Mr Direnfeld
On behalf of Optimist International, please allow me to express our full support for the I Promise Program. The concept is simple and yet promises to be effective.
Increasing the awareness of parents to the importance of being good role models for their teenage drivers is just as important as the teen knowing exactly what is considered appropriate driving behavior when they are behind the wheel.
The magnitude of the problem is great and your effort to reduce the incidence of teen accidents is commendable.
Optimist International, with 3500 local clubs and 118,000 members in the US, Canada, the nations of the Caribbean and Europe fully back your program.
Sincerely,
Al Schon
