Dear Sheriff Pendergrass:
Chief Eubanks, Hillsborough Police Department, has decided not to accept the $7,000.00
authorized by the North Carolina D.A.R.E. Foundation on March 17, 1997 to fund the Orange
County D.A.R.E. Program. Although Chief Eubanks wanted his staff to participate in the D.A.R.E.
Program during the 1997-98 school year, he felt that using any of the current staff to work
with D.A.R.E. for 17 weeks would create other staffing problems within the department.
To avoid sending the $7,000.00 back to Raleigh, Handy Gunter from the S81 agreed to allow
Orange County Schools to transfer the funds to your department. If the Sheriff's Department is
interested in using this money for the 1997-98 school year to support the existing D.A.R.E.
Program, please complete and return the enclosed application to me by Friday, June 27, 1997.
1 can be reached at 732-6271 ext. 259 after June 23, 1997, if you have any further
questions.
Sincerely,
Donn=IIia`msU, HeaIth Education Coordinator
