Under the direction of the Governor, the week of October 23 -30,
1988, has be proclaimed as Red Ribbon Week in California. Red
Ribbon Week is a call to reduce the demand for drugs. The Red
Ribbon is the symbol of the commitment to live a drug -free and
healthy lifestyle.
In order to promote Red Ribbon Week we are requesting the
Moorpark City Council take the following action:
Officially proclaim October 23 -30, 1988, as Red Ribbon Week by
a written proclamation. The proclamation would be presented by
Mayor Lane to Senior Deputy David Lea and students (K thru 12)
representing their school. The program should take about five
minutes. We are requesting a tentative date of October 19.
A sample proclamation is attached that can be used to prepare
the actual document for the City Council.

PROCLAMATION
"RED RIBBON WEEK"
OCTOBER 23 THROUGH 30, 1988
WHEREAS, drug abuse in California has reached epidemic stages, and the 15
to 24 year old age group is dying at a faster rate than any other age group; and,
WHEREAS, it is imperative that a united effort of community members be
launched to stem the tide of drug abuse; and,
WHEREAS, co- sponsors of RED RIBBON WEEK, are asking citizens to take this
opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to drug free lives by wearing a red
ribbon from October 23 through 30, 1988; and,
WHEREAS, youth, parents, teachers, and persons from all walks of life are
offering their commitment to eliminate the demand for alcohol and drugs by
wearing a symbolic red ribbon during RED RIBBON WEEK; and,
WHEREAS, the use and abuse of drugs and alcohol can lead to failing
grades, failing jobs, crimes, addiction and ultimately, loss of life; and,
WHEREAS, as long as the demand for drugs exists, supply will follow and
availability will remain; and,
WHEREAS, the prevention of drug abuse through awareness and education is
necessary to bankrupt the suppliers; and,
WHEREAS, education through the available programs can save lives and make
communities safer for all Californians.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Moorpark, does hereby
proclaim October 23 through 30, 1988, as RED RIBBON WEEK in the City of
