A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING MARCH 2016 AS
"AMERICAN RED CROSS MONTH" IN ST. LUCIE COUNTY, FLORIDA
WHEREAS, the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie County, Florida, has made the
following determinations:
1. American Red Cross Month is a special time to recognize and thank our everyday heroes -
those who reach out to help people in need.
2. American Red Cross heroes help disaster victims recover. They bring comfort to families who
have lost their homes to fire. They brighten the day of an injured service member. They step
forward to help someone having a heart attack.
3. We would like to remember our heroes here in St. Lucie County who help people in need.
They work tirelessly to assist their neighbors when they need a helping hand.
4. Across the country and around the world, the American Red Cross responds to disasters.
When a family was displaced due to a fire, the Red Cross provided shelter. When an injured
service member ended up in a hospital far from home, the American Red Cross offered
comfort. When a lifeguard jumped in to save a drowning child or someone stepped up to help
a heart attack victim, the American Red Cross was there.
5. We dedicate the month of March 2016 to all those who support the American Red Cross
mission to present and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies. Our community
depends on the American Red Cross, which relies on donations of time and money to fulfill
its humanitarian mission.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the Board of County Commissioners of St. Lucie
County, Florida:
1. This Board does hereby proclaim March 2016 as "AMERICAN RED CROSS MONTH" in St. Lucie
County, Florida.
2. This Board urges the citizens of St. Lucie County to support this organization and its noble
humanitarian mission.
