"Just Say No to Drugs" Week )
in Contra Costa County )
Drug Abuse is one of the single greatest threats facing our
nation today and has had a devastating impact upon our youth.
First Interstate Bank with the California Department of
Education and the Just Say No Foundation are sponsoring an
educational program to help young people understand the dangers
of drug use and learn how to say no to peer pressure to use
drugs and alcohol.
The First "Just Say No" Club was started in January, 1985, where
a group of grade-school children in Oakland, California were
discussing ways to counter peer pressure to use drugs. The
purpose of the club would be to provide mutual support to
members, many of whom lived in neighborhoods where drug-dealing
and use were open and widespread. In May, 1986, the "Just Say
No" Foundation was launched to help support and coordinate the
efforts of the "Just Say No" Clubs. First Lady Nancy Reagan is
Honorary Chairperson and Soleil Moon Frye of the Punky Brewster
TV series is "chairkid" .
NOW THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of Supervisors
proclaim the week beginning May 9, 1987 as "Just Say No to
Drugs" week, and call upon the people of Contra Costa County to
observe this week with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
PASSED AND ADOPTED on May 12, 1987 by a unanimous vote of the
