LifeLines is scheduled to host Red Ribbon Week during the week of Oct. 24. According to Alec Rader, LifeLines president and senior, Red Ribbon Week is a weeklong drug and violence awareness campaign in which club members will judge doors decorated in the spirit of the campaign, have bake sales and distribute red ribbons to students in support of the campaign. 

Rader said LifeLines committee heads, club members assigned to specific LifeLines events throughout the year, were announced at the last meeting. The Buckle Down training scheduled for the last meeting has been moved to the upcoming meeting on Oct. 26. The club members also contributed ideas on organizing Red RibbonWeek. 

“Red Ribbon Week is the next main thing,” Rader said. “Right now, we’re kind of at the start of things. We usually do a pre-Homecoming event, but we didn’t have a lot of time to do that this year, so Red Ribbon Week is our first event this year.”

According to LifeLines sponsor Rebekah Overbey, Red Ribbon Week has been the focus of officers and members in the club’s first several meetings. 

“It’s about helping students make good decisions and helping them realize how their decisions impact them, not just in the short-term, but long-term as well,” Overbey said.
