                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
   Commending the entities which were instrumental in developing the 
    ``Friday Night Live'' and ``Club Live'' programs and which have 
  created, are operating, and are working to expand the ``Rotary Life 
                            Club'' program.

Whereas in 1975 the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council of Contra Costa County, 
        California (referred to herein as ``ADAC'') was incorporated as a 
        California non-profit public benefit corporation with the mission of 
        prevention and treatment of drug and alcohol abuse in young adults;
Whereas in 1983 the Rotarians Against Substance Abuse Foundation (referred to 
        herein as ``RASAF'') was incorporated by 13 Rotary Clubs in Contra Costa 
        County, California, including the Rotary Clubs of Martinez, Concord, and 
        Pleasant Hill, as a California non-profit public benefit corporation 
        with a mission similar to that of ADAC;
Whereas since 1975, ADAC has been instrumental in developing ``Friday Night 
        Live'' and ``Club Live'', two on-campus peer programs managed by the 
        State of California that are designed to prevent alcohol and drug abuse, 
        respectively by high school students and middle school students;
Whereas since 1983 RASAF has also been instrumental in developing the Friday 
        Night Live and Club Live programs;
Whereas the Rotary Club of Concord and the First Presbyterian Church of Concord 
        created the first off-campus Friday Night Live program, now known as 
        ``Rotary Life Clubs'', and have operated ``Rotary Life Club #1'' (also 
        known as ``Friday Night Live Club #1'') since 1990 as a club where high 
        school students can participate in community service projects and other 
        fun events without the use of drugs or alcohol;
Whereas the partnership of RASAF, ADAC, the Rotary Club of Concord, and the 
        First Presbyterian Church of Concord is one of the finest examples of 
        private sector entities cooperating to provide substance abuse 
        prevention programs for young people which emphasize community service 
        and fun events; and
Whereas RASAF is working with the Salus International Health Institute and 
        26,000 Rotary Clubs in 170 countries to expand the Rotary Life Club 
        concept throughout the world: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the House of Representatives (the Senate concurring), 
That the Alcohol and Drug Abuse Council of Contra Costa County, 
California, the Rotarians Against Substance Abuse Foundation, the 
Rotary Club of Concord, and the First Presbyterian Church of Concord be 
commended for being instrumental in developing the Friday Night Live 
and Club Live programs, for creating Rotary Life Club #1, and for 
working to expand the Rotary Life Club concept throughout the world.
