The Amber Menefee Memorial Trailer
needs your help!
The Amber Trailer travels all over the State of Texas
showing the dangers of drinking and driving.
However, we do not have a reliable means of
transporting the trailer to our shows.
Anyone who would be willing to help us in promoting the
message of "Don't Drink and Drive"
by donating a reliable 1/2 or 3/4 ton truck for
moving this large trailer to different events,
please contact Sam Owens at 903-517-6587.
Donations are 100% tax deductible, and may make a
difference in someone's life.
Who was Amber Menefee?
Amber Menefee was born December 11, 1984. She was
raised
in Andrews, Texas, where she graduated from Andrew's
High School in 2003.
She was a member of choir, a cheerleader,
voted class favorite, a member of the
varsity girls basketball,
volleyball and track teams. She graduated from
South Plains College
with an Associate of Arts degree in December 2005, where
she
was on the Dean's Honor Roll, carried a 3.42 GPA and was a
member of Phi
Theta Kappa International and National Honor
Society. She was currently
attending Texas Tech University
where she was majoring in early childhood
education. She
attended the Andrews Church of Christ.

Tragically, on February 11, 2006, Amber's promising life came
to an end. A 21-year old Amber Menefee died when her
car collided with a
SUV that was traveling the wrong
way on the West Loop in Lubbock. The
driver of the other
vehicle, 20-year old Erin Reagan, had a blood alcohol level
of 0.147, nearly double the legal limit, at the time of her arrest.
Erin was indicted on intoxication manslaughter,
a second degree felony, punishable by up to 20 years in prison.

The purpose of the Amber Menefee Mobile Memorial
is to educate
and prevent drunk driving.
The making of the Amber Menefee
Mobile Memorial
In the Spring of 2006, Rodney Jones, Paramedic for the City of Paris,
was contacted by Rachel Bruton,
Amber's friend since kindergarten, about using
Amber's mangle car and her tragic death to make a
difference in the lives of
others. Jones, teaming up with Paris Police Officers Association President
Sam Owens, traveled to Lubbock to meet with Ms Bruton and Amber's mother, Brenda
Menefee,
and to take possession of the wrecked car. Once in Paris, several
people and businesses quickly
began getting involved in making the mobile
memorial a reality. The trailer to carry the car is in
production, and
will be debuted in Andrews, Texas, on April 30, 2007. The Amber Menefee Mobile
Memorial will then be available to drunk driver awareness programs, school and
community events
to demonstrate and educate the catastrophic effects of drinking
and driving.
