Efforts are underway to start a Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter in Thompson.

Community Leader Adrienne Burton tells us why she wants to see the charitable organization in the city: "I really think its a necessary presence in our community. Just within the past 5 or 6 years there have been multiple fatal drunk driving accidents here in town and around town and just affecting so many of our community members".

Burton has set up a facebook page to find volunteers for events in the coming months.

Thompson had a Mothers Against Drunk Driving chapter several years ago, but it disbanded when organizers moved out of the city.
