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.wpe5.jpg (15071 bytes)

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.
