(1) PROCLAMATION - Safe Boating Week <br />PROCLAMATION <br />DECLARING THE WEEK OF JUNE 5-11, 1988 <br />NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK <br />IN INDIAN RIVER COUNTY <br />WHEREAS, more Americans each year are choosing <br />recreational boating as an ideal way to relax with their families <br />and friends. All too often, however, what starts out as a <br />pleasant cruise ends in tragedy because boatmen fail to teach <br />their families to swim; fail to properly equip their craft with <br />life preservers and other protective devices; or fail to instruct <br />their passengers on the use of such devices prior to a boating <br />cruise; and <br />WHEREAS, every year, many lives are lost in boating <br />accidents. These fatalities can be reduced and boating made more <br />pleasurable if those who engage in it will emphasize boating <br />safety rules; and <br />1 <br />WHEREAS, the local Flotilla 5-6 of the U. S. Coast <br />Guard Auxiliary and the Vero Beach Squadron of the U. S. Power <br />Squadron are sponsoring this week in a joint effort to promote <br />safe boating; <br />NOW, THEREFORE, THE BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS OF <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA do hereby designate the week of <br />June 5-11, 1988 as <br />NATIONAL SAFE BOATING WEEK <br />in Indian River County, and the Board further urges all citizens <br />to observe boating safety rules. <br />Dated this 31st day of May, 1988. <br />� ss <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />J � L <br />Dong C. curlock, Jr/. , hai an <br />4 <br />BOOK .72 PA,r 0 <br />
