Mayor Katz along with the City of Port
land welcomed over 5,000 elementary and
middle school students from around Oregon
for the Oregon Say No To Drugs March.
Mayor Vera Katz applauded the children's
enthusiasms in making a public statement
against one of society s most entrenched
problems—drug and alcohol abuse. Drug
prevention efforts such as these can be cred
ited for the 6% decrease in drug and alcohol
use among Oregon 8th graders last year
Mayor Katz extended her appreciation
to the multitude of businesses and profes
sional and civic organizations which lent
financial and volunteer assistance to the
March, along with the Portland U S Navy and
Coast Guard Reserve Centers, the Oregon
National Guard, and DARE officers state
wide. She expressed her appreciation also to
the Oregon Office of Alcohol and Drug
Abuse Programs for initiating one of the
most positive and innovative drug preven
tion activities nationally.

school students to gather with others who
share a commitment to a drug-free lifesty le.

the state to participate in the march
Students’ commitments are reinforced
by the opportunity to make a stronganti-drug

awareness programs also reinforce students
commitment and expose them to new drug
and alcohol abuse prevention programs and
activities.
