Narconon Hawaii: Proclamation
Kelly Preston has had the honor of working with Lt. Governor Aiona to address the
manifold problems of drug abuse facing Hawaii. The Lt. Governor has spent his life serving the public and working to improve the quality of life
for the people of Hawaii. During his first term in office, the Lt. Governor spearheaded a campaign to address the urgent need to confront a
statewide epidemic of drug abuse. Additionally, Lt. Governor Aiona has served as a member of the advisory council for the Federal Substance Abuse
and Mental Health Services Administration (SAMHSA).
In the early stages of Narconon's recent work on the island, the Lt. Governor took the
time to meet with Kelly while she gathered data and developed the drug prevention education campaign for Narconon Hawaii. He also lent his support
to this campaign by doing the introduction in the Narconon Parent Kit DVD entitled "Keeping Your Kids Drug-Free, What Parents Need to Know." this
kit has been distributed to well over 10,000 families on the island.
Due to Kelly Preston's tireless efforts on distributing and promoting the Narconon Hawaii Drug-Free Parent Kit, Mayor Mufi Hannemann recognizes May 20-27, 2006 to be "Teaching Our Kids The Truth About Drugs" Week.
