A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING SATURDAY, AUGUST 16, 2014 AS
"CHEF'S APPRECIATION DAY" IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the
following determinations:
1. The National Pink Tie Organization bands men together to support the fight against cancer by
encouraging men to wear a pink or fuchsia tie to raise awareness, educate and empower the
community about cancer.
2. Historically, chef's have shown great compassion to others. The very word "restaurant" is
derived from the French word "restaurer," which means "to restore". The first (pre-
revolutionary) French restaurants were establishments that sold meat-based consommes
intended to restore strength to those who were not feeling well.
3. Few things are better for both the body and the soul than awell-crafted, sublimely prepared and
lovingly presented meal.
4. The National Pink Tie Organization Chefs Against Cancer Division involves over 400,000 chefs
and is growing rapidly worldwide.
5. Every third Saturday in August, chefs, physicians, nutritionists, and fitness trainers will gather
to promote healthy living and cooking, uplift one another, and give back to those who have
already helped so many others realize how truly wonderful a happy, healthy life can taste.
6. St. Lucie County supports the fight against cancer, honoring the survivors and remembering
those who will live forever in our hearts.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County,
Florida:
This Board does hereby proclaim Saturday, August 16, 2014 as "Chef's Appreciation Day" in St.
Lucie County, Florida and encourage the citizens of St. Lucie County, Florida to observe and thank our
Chefs .
