On Tuesday, Oct. 23, through Wednesday, Oct. 31, Virgin Islanders will observe the national and territorial designation of Red Ribbon Week. Gov. Charles W. Turnbull has issued a proclamation in this observance, pointing out that alcohol and other drug abuse in our nation and in the territory has reached epidemmic stages.
The Virgin Islands Red Ribbon Coalition is sponsoring the Red Ribbon Campaign, which offers citizens the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to drug-free lifestyles. Residents can demonstrate their commitment by wearing Red Ribbons during this week-long campaign.
