GRANT COUNTY, WASHINGIUh STATE OF WASHINGTON OFFICE OF THE GOVERNOR OLYMPIA 985040413 BOOTH GARDNER GOVERNOR February 1.9, 1991 Dear Principal: The spring months signify a period of new growth and change throughout our state. For our students, proms and graduation present traditional rites of passage during this time. All too often, however, alcohol and other drugs combined with these important activities can result in tragedy instead of celebration. Too many of our students continue to use alcohol and other drugs without regard for the potential serious consequences. Here in Washington state, alcohol-related traffic fatalities and injuries show a marked increase every spring. We are working to carry out an effective statewide strategy to combat the destruction of alcohol and other drug use. The week of April 14-20, 1991, has been set aside to further our goals, especially among our youth. "Drug -Free Washington Week" is a combined effort to increase the awareness of issues related to tobacco, alcohol and other drug use. With participation from my office and the community mobilization initiative, the following agencies and organizations have collaborated to create various opportunities for our Washington youth: The Washington Traffic Safety Commission; The Department of Social & Health Services, Division of Alcohol and Substance Abuse; The Department of Health; The Washington State Substance Abuse Coalition; The Office of the Superintendent of Public Instruction. The enclosed information will give you the specifics and the contact person for the statewide activities in which your students may participate in April and through the end of the school year. I want to encourage you to get personally involved and to facilitate the involvement of your students. The theme of our statewide campaign says it all ... "FACE IT! Drug -Free Communities are Up to You." Let's work together. Sincerel oott Gardner Governor Enclosures �J RUN TO A DRUG-FREE WASHINGTON APRIL 14. - 20, 1991 WHAT IS THE EVENT?
