Project Save Our Children Against Drunk Driving Inc.

Our History.  Page 2.

That was the birth of Project Save Our Children Against Drunk Driving Inc. I went home and discussed my idea with my wife and she said that she would stand behind me in any endeavor to bring these fatal vision goggles to the public’s attention. So for weeks we set and talked about what would be the best way to go about realizing my idea. I contacted a local community member at the Berryville Community Center and asked if she could set up a meeting with me and the local community members.

Who attended my meeting was the mayor, chief of police, county sheriff, school board, city aldermen’s, director of community center, and chamber of commerce. At that time the program that I had developed was a lot different that what it has grown to be. In the beginning the program was just going to be Fatal Vision goggles and a regular golf cart, and it was just going to be introduced to the school students whenever I could get a block of time from the Berryville High School. At that time the program was only for Berryville. In raising the money for the Fatal Vision goggle.

And prior to the meeting at the community center, I had gone door-to-door and had asked for what I called promissory donations. Simply put, I wanted a list of people who were willing to donate money if I got permission to develop the program in the city of Berryville. During the meeting I explained to everyone the purpose of the project, the motivation behind it, and my desire to start a program that would deal with impaired driving. After explaining and giving a copy of the list of promissory donations to all attendees.

The Mayor of Berryville asked the chief of police to go ahead and order two sets of the goggles that would cost approximately $2,000.00 dollars. And then informed the chief of police that I would pay him back after collecting donations from the local business community. When I left the meeting I was very excited and I went about the very next day in collecting all the donations that were promised. I collected more money than what was needed for the goggles. With the extra money that I was able to collect, I purchased the program Fatal Reflections.
