| Shattered Dreams Dreams are shattered every hour across America as three persons die needlessly in alcohol related crashes. Stop DWI, Inc., coordinates with the Permian Basin Texas Alcohol and Beverage Commission (TABC), and other agencies, to promote this program in schools and communities in West Texas. Once every two to three years, a community and school will benefit from hosting this program, designed to educate and inform the public and students of the dangers of alcohol consumption by underage young people, and while driving under the influence of alcohol. Follow-up programs are presented in communities and schools in the in-between years. This program is conducted in the following communities: Rankin - Monahans Snyder Sterling City Spring Lake Earth Stanton Garden City Midland Odessa Andrews Big Springs Victim Impact Panel (VIP) Once each month we conduct our Victim Impact panel where offenders of alcohol related situations are required by the court system to attend, and hear from those who are victims of intoxicated or impaired driving, or in possession of alcohol below the age of 21. Attendance is recorded and the proper authorities are notified of the attendance. The Panel in Midland meets each first Monday of the month at the Junior League Building, 902 W. Dengar. The Odessa VIP meets each second Monday at the Odessa Police Department, 205 N. Grant. The VIP meets once each quarter in Andrews County Adult Probation Department, Pecos County and Ward County.
