BUSTED!

On July 15, 2022 fugitive drug lord, Rafael Caro Quintero, was captured and is now facing extradition to the US for the notorious 1985 torture and murder of US Drug Enforcement Administration (DEA) undercover agent, Enrique “Kiki” Camarena.

Why do Elks care about this news?

First, it’s important to know that our Drug Enforcement Administration is working diligently day and night to protect us from the drug lords bringing drugs and counterfeit pills into our country daily.

With 295 deaths a day from drug overdose and counterfeit and fentanyl laced pills we are reminded that it is our duty as Elks, the largest drug awareness program in the US, to help bring awareness to our communities. And Ohio is a crossroads for this drug activity!!!

Secondly, the Elks DAP Red Ribbon campaign was started specifically for Agent Camarena and hundreds of red ribbons are given out each year to students by the Elks to help bring drug awareness.

If you would like more information on the Elks Red Ribbon program please email Drug Awareness State Chairman Becky Underhill, or your DAP District or Lodge Chairman. You can also find information on the Red Ribbon program or any of the DAP programs or items on Elks.org under Drug Awareness.
