WHEREAS, it is the belief of the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Task Force, that
by encouraging self-worth, promoting prevention education, and affirming the
goodness and value of youth, we can reduce the incidence of teenage pregnancy,
which leads to serious health and social problems; and
WHEREAS, we must all acknowledge our collective responsibility and recognize
that there is no single approach to solving the problem; and
WHEREAS, government, community organizations, religious groups, youth
agencies, businesses, civic groups, schools, as well as parents and youth must
educate themselves, identify their roles, and work cooperatively; and
WHEREAS, the Adolescent Pregnancy Prevention Task Force has launched the
"Let's Talk" campaign in Grant County to support the role of the family in educating
our youth about sexuality and parenting issues; and
WHEREAS, our community has a responsibility to help parents and children
explore and effectively communicate about issues in moral -physical development,
sexuality, decision making, and responsible parenthood to improve the quality of
family life;
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved that the GRANT COUNTY COMMISSIONERS do
hereby proclaim the month of October 1993 as "Let's Talk" month.
