Nez-Rouge wants to drive you safely home for the holidays

Talented Laval comedian Rachid Badouri has accepted the role of speokesperson for the 2007 Nez-Rouge Operation which provides safe transportation for holiday revelers who have had a little too much to drink and decide they can't manage to drive themselves home without endangering their lives and those of others.

The objectives of the project are fully endorsed by Rachid Boudari who freely extols the virtues of the service and commends the altruistic dedication of volunteers who do the driving.

If you would like to volunteer for the service, which covers the period from November 30 to December 31, you can register on line at www.operationnezrouge.com. You can also volunteer your services at Info Benevole, at (450) 664-1415.

Last year, Operation Nez Rouge provided safe conduct home for 2,993 celebrants who called for the service.

Information for those requesting a drive home can also be obtained at the same web site and telephone number. (H.M.)
