Clearwater, FL -- This past Saturday, for the third year now, children from the Greenwood community enjoyed a DJ, dance contest, snacks, arts and crafts and balloons at the North Greenwood Recreation and Aquatics Center in celebration of Red Ribbon Week. The message was that living a drug-free live is more fun. The event was sponsored by the Foundation for a Drug Free World.  The youth was also informed of the dangers of drugs with displays from the Florida National Guard Drug Demand Reduction unit as well as the Civil Air Patrol US Air Force Auxiliary Drug Demand Reduction unit, and the Foundation for a Drug-Free World. The Foundation distributes the Truth About Drugs booklets, which give youth the information they need to stand up to peer pressure and make the decision for themselves to be drug-free. The youth also took the Drug-Free Marshals pledge, promising to remain drug-free and to encourage their peers to do the same. Red Ribbon Week is the oldest and largest National Drug prevention campaign in the country. Red Ribbon Week serves as a vehicle for communities and individuals to take a stand for the hopes and dreams of our children through a commitment to drug prevention and education and a personal commitment to live drug-free lives with the ultimate goal being the creation of a drug-free To find out more about the activities of the Foundation for a Drug Free World please visit www.drugfreeworld.org. And for the person with a drug problem, there are also real solutions to addiction. Narconon, a drug rehabilitation program that utilizes the methods of L. Ron Hubbard, has a success rate of more than 75%. (www.narconon.org) |
