Saludos! Thank you for agreeing to participate in this activity. I would like to encourage all
of you to review the enclosed Proclamation and explanation of what the Red Ribbon Week is. Also,
be prepared to make a very short presentation of the Red Ribbon activities in your region. Each
person has only two minutes with a total of 10 minutes for the total presentation.
The protocol for the presentation is the following:
1. Mr. Tom Aswad representing the Substance Abuse Advisory Board introduces himself and
highlights SAAB's successes of this past year.
2. Each person representing a specific region will introduce themselves,identify the region they
represent, and very briefly highlight one or two activities planned for the Red Ribbon week
in their area. Please be aware that the supervisors will be handed an inventory of all the
activities planned throughout the county so you don't have to go into a lot of detail.
3. Tom will then ask the Board Chair, Supervisor Bishop,to proclaim the week of October 23-
31 official Red Ribbon Week Supporting Alcohol and Drug Free Families and Communities
and close the presentation by inviting each Supervisor to come down and receive their ribbons
and packets. The packets contain an explanation of the Red Ribbon and a listing of the
activities that will take place in celebration of this year's RR.
If you have questions call me. Gracias.
