At the top of today’s meeting, the Board of Supervisors proclaimed October 23-31, 2025, as Red Ribbon Week in the County of Roanoke. The National Red Ribbon Campaign offers citizens the opportunity to demonstrate their commitment to drug-free lifestyles (no use of illegal drugs).  Local businesses, government, parents, law enforcement, media, medical, religious institutions, schools, senior citizens, service organization and youth will demonstrate their commitment to healthy, drug-free lifestyles by wearing and displaying red ribbons during this week-long campaign.  Roanoke County encourages its citizens to participate in drug prevention education activities, not only during Red Ribbon Week, but all year long.
