Miss America 2006 Jennifer Berry will bring a dash of glamour to a serious topic, “Building Intolerance to Drunk Driving and Underage Drinking,” Thursday at 11 a.m. in a talk in the seminar room of Marietta High School, 1171 Whitlock Ave.

The event is free and open to the public. Parents with teenagers and young drivers are encouraged to come. Home to the largest driver education program in Georgia, Marietta High is Berry’s first stop in the Atlanta metro area as part of her 20,000 mile a month, yearlong tour to raise awarnesses of the dangers of drinking and driving.

The Marietta/Cobb Drivers Education is a joint program of the Marietta City and Cobb County school systems. More than 2,600 teens each year go through the driver’s education program that has been recognized by the Georgia Department of Driving as a model for programs across the state.
