Norwich and Oxford High School invite public to traffic safety forum Thursday
NORWICH – Norwich and Oxford High Schools are inviting the public to attend a traffic safety forum on Thursday from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in the Norwich High School auditorium.
The forum will be hosted by Traffic Safety Advocate Marianne Angelillo, who uses personal experiences to teach New Yorkers about the consequences of dangerous behavior on the road.
Angelillo's journey began on Father's Day 2004, when her 17-year-old son, Matthew, was killed as a passenger in a high-speed car crash. She has spoken at school presentations and for traffic safety groups since 2004, hoping that sharing her family's story will spare other families similar tragedy.
“The first time I was approached to speak about Matt's death, I decided that I would share my pain if it could help save another family from experiencing what we had," Angelillo said. "I discovered that in reaching out to teens and their parents, I was able to connect with Matt and use his life to educate others."
The forum is sponsored by Chenango County Traffic and Safety Board and the National Safety Council in cooperation with the Governor's Traffic Safety Committee.
Several New York agencies have recognized Angelillo's efforts, and she has authored a book about her family's experiences titled 'Sharing My Stones.'
On Friday, Angelillo will take her message to NHS and Oxford High School again to educate students in assemblies.
Thursday's community forum is free and open to the public.
