Prevention Program:
Since 1986 the Lebanon County Commissioners have declared the last week
in October (23-31) as "Red Ribbon Week." As part of this national
campaign against drug and alcohol abuse, local businesses are asked to
help the Lebanon County Drug and Alcohol Prevention Program "paint the
town" red. |
|
Since its conception, the red ribbon has come to symbolize
each person's individual commitment to a drug-free lifestyle. Red ribbons
are distributed free for the asking. Call
274-2741. The slogan this year is, "Working Towards a Drug
Free Community!" |
|
Drug and alcohol abuse continues to be the number one
contributing factor in divorce, child abuse, violent crimes, teen
pregnancy, school drop outs, and suicide. This type of abuse is the
number one killer of our children between the ages of 13 and 20. All of
us share in the responsibility to educate our children and community about
this life threatening disease. |
|
The Red Ribbon Campaign is celebrated across the country
each October. It originated in 1985 when Federal Agent Enrique "kiki"
Camerena was murdered while he was investigating Mexican drug
traffickers. The Red Ribbon became the symbol to reduce the demand for
drugs. |
