          2)The objective of Red Ribbon Week 2009 is to promote drug  
            prevention, education, parental involvement, and communitywide  
            support through this year's theme "Drug Free is the Key."

          3)Various individuals and organizations throughout California  
            will demonstrate their commitment to drug-free, healthy  
            lifestyles by wearing and displaying red ribbons during this
