Pomona youth, adults raise alcohol awareness with Project Sticker Shock

Contra Costa Times
Jose Martinez and Lorenzo Arnold teamed up to place stickers on six packs of beer in refrigerators at the Pomona Wine Cellar. As Arnold, a Los Angeles County deputy probation officer, pulled out the beer bottles, Martinez, a Village Academy High School senior, was ready with a sticker that the officer would affix to the carton. The efforts by Martinez and Arnold were part of Project Sticker Shock. The Partnership for a Positive Pomona campaign is designed to let adults know it's illegal to provide alcoholic beverages to young people under the age of 21.
