Red-Ribbon Week is a valuable program that educates grade school students about the dangers of substance abuse, both legal and illegal substances, and the damage it can cause to them, as well as to their families and friends. It is so important that we encourage kids at an early age to live a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.

This year, Red-Ribbon Week takes place from October 23 through October 29. There will be activities in the schools listed below and communities throughout the Assembly District from October 23 through October 29. If you would like to participate in this important effort, contact my office at (310) 324-6408 and we will get you the information. And remember, my office will also have certificates and bookmarks available for this effort.

It gives me great joy to share with you that applications are now being accepted for the California State Assembly Fellowship Program. This is an incredible opportunity that I don't want you to miss!

Founded in 1957, the Assembly Fellowship Program is one of the nation's oldest and most prestigious legislative fellowships. It offers an opportunity for individuals of all ages and backgrounds to directly participate in the legislative process. Each year, 18 applicants are selected.

The 11-month program provides an introduction to public policy formation and adoption in the California Legislature through full-time work as a professional legislative staff member. Fellows receive a monthly stipend of $2,627, as well as medical, dental and vision benefits.

The Assembly Fellowship Program is co-sponsored by the California State Assembly and California State University, Sacramento through the Center for California Studies.
