Attached is your 1997 Child Health Month resource packet. It is a pleasure to again be able to provide you with materials for planning and promoting Child Health Month and its important messages during October. The Child Health Month theme for 1997-99 is substance abuse prevention. Nicotine is addictive.
Tobacco use can cause serious illness and even death.
