History
Enrique (Kiki) Camarena was born in July 1947 in Mexicali, Mexico. He graduated from Calexico High School in Calexico, Calif. in 1966. In 1974 he became part of the Drug Enforcement Administration. Seven years later he was assigned to the resident office in Guadalajara. He worked from this office for 4 1/2 years and was close to exposing a major drug trafficking operation. On February 7, 1985 Kiki was kidnapped. That was the last time he was seen alive. He was 37 years old.
Shortly after his death, Congressman Duncan Hunter and Calexico High School classmate Henry Lozano launched Camarena Clubs. Club members wore red ribbons and pledges to lead drug free lives.
Red Ribbon Week eventually gained momentum throughout California and later the U.S. Congress officially established Red Ribbon Week in 1988.

Make It & Take It- Mindfulness Water Jar

Self-care is so important for parents because parenting can be stressful. Too much stress is not only harmful to you; it can also be harmful to your children. It’s important that you have ways to reduce stress in your life. This is where mindfulness can help.

Mindfulness is…. Paying attention fully in the present moment on purpose.

Stop by CACY during the month of May (weekdays) to create a FREE Mindfulness Jar. Make one for yourself or with a child. Using a mindfulness jar during stressful situations can help you and your child stay calm, focused and relaxed.
