PROCLAMATION 5c DESIGNATING THE MONTH OF MARCH 2016, AS American Red Cross Month WHEREAS, American Red Cross Month is a special time to recognize and thank our Everyday Heroes — those who reach out to help people in need; and, WHEREAS, 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; and, WHEREAS, we would like to remember our heroes here in Indian River County who help people in need. They work tirelessly to assist their neighbors when they need a helping hand; and, WHEREAS, across the country and around the world, the American Red Cross responded 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; and WHEREAS, we dedicate the month of March to all those who support the American Red Cross mission to be 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 PROCLAIMED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA that the month of March, 2016, be designated as American Red Cross Month in Indian River County, and the Board encourages all citizens to support this organization and its noble humanitarian mission.
