Re: Atlanta Children & Youth Services Council
Dear Lewis:
Duane Beck of Community Council has had a series of meetings
with people in the 14th Street Hippy community and one of the results of
the meetings has been to dramatize the need for a drug education program
in that community. Many of Atlanta's young teen-age children come to
that community during the weekends and are exposed to the use of drugs.
Also there are other people who come from outside of Atlanta who are not
knowledgable about the dangers of drugs.
Duane Beck has asked the Youth Council to undertake a drug education
program in the Hippy community and it is his suggestion that if it is to be
effective it must avoid moralizing over the use of drugs and it must involve
members of the community. Art Auerback, Telephone Numbers 872-9492,
622-0919, is a young man in the community who is interested in the project
and who can be of assistance. Bruce Donnelly, a Minister, at Twelfth Gate
Coffee House is also interested in the project.
I am asking that you, as the Acting Director of the Council, make
the establishment of such a program in that community an item of first
priority. It is a logical follow up on the conferences which we had on
drug use and abuse earlier this spring.
Mr. Lewis Dinkins

If it is necessary for you to take a staff person and assigning him
full time to the project you should feel free todo so. By copy of this
letter Iam informing Dan Sweat at the Mayor's office and the other mem-
bers of the Executive Committee of the immediacy that this project has
taken on as a result of requests from other agencies in the community.
Very truly yours,
. Lux¢mburger
