I would xequest that Mayor Napper proclaim the week o October 22-28, 1990
as Red Ribbon Campaign Week in the City of Rosemount.
I attended meetings throughout the summer with -other representatives from
the Cities of Apple Valley and Eagan, Parents Communication Network and ISD
19b school counselors and teachers from various schools in the district.
During the week of October 22-28, schools will be providing drug education
programs to their students. It is also my understanding red ribbons will
be distributed to the students to be worn at some point during the campaign
: week._ _ -- __ _ _
Ribbons and brochures will be delivered to filling stations in Rosemount,
Apple Valley and Eagan. These ribbons and brochures will be available to
customers who may tie the ribbons on their car antennas.
Ribbons will also be placed on city vehicles and handed out to city
employees to place on their personal vehicles.
This is the second year for this nation-wide campaign, and the second year
the city has been involved in showing their support through adoption of a
proclamation and displaying and wearing red ribbons during the campaign
weeks.
