Whereas, the State of Kansas, City of Salina, and Saline County value the health and
safety of all our citizens; and

our children, and a contributing factor in the three leading causes of death for teenagers -
accidents, homicides, and suicides; and
Whereas, it is the goal of the Kansas Red Ribbon Campaign, the City of Salina, and
Saline County to involve families, schools, businesses, churches, law enforcement
agencies and service organizations in all aspects of this campaign and establish an
atmosphere that supports awareness, education and on-going initiatives to prevent illegal
drug use; and
Whereas, the Kansas Red Ribbon Campaign theme promotes family and individual
responsibility for living healthy, drug-free lifestyles, with out illegal drugs or the illegal
use of legal drugs; and
Whereas, there are many activities planned during the Red Ribbon Campaign in Salina
and Saline County;
Now, therefore, I, Kristin M. Seaton, Mayor of the City of Salina, hereby proclaim
October 23rd to 31 st as Red Ribbon Week and urges all citizens to join in the week's
activities and to work all year long to protect our community from the dangers of alcohol
