PROCLAMATION <br />DESIGNATING THE MONTH OF OCTOBER, 2016, AS <br />NATIONAL ARTS AND HUMANITIES MONTH <br />WHEREAS, over centuries of change — through trial and triumph — the arts and <br />humanities have chronicled history in ways that have brought the past to life and provided a <br />vivid vision for our journey forward. During National Arts and Humanities Month, we celebrate <br />artistic expression in all its forms and honor the ways they help define the great American story; <br />and <br />WHEREAS, as artists open our hearts and minds, they embolden our dreams, connect us <br />in common purpose, and inspire us to reach for the tomorrow we seek; and <br />WHEREAS, our young people have the ability to renew the world we share; we can <br />empower them through the arts and humanities so they can chart bold paths and write <br />America's next great chapters; and <br />WHEREAS, every stroke of the brush, stitch of the needle, or moment of the memoir <br />uniquely marks our society and contributes to our national character. This month, we <br />recognize the ways the arts and humanities have forever changed our country, and we <br />recommit to ensuring every person has the opportunity and the freedom to question, discover <br />and create. <br />NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED BY THE BOARD OF COUNTY <br />COMMISSIONERS, INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA that the month of October, 2016, be <br />designated as NATIONAL ARTS AND HUMANITIES MONTH in Indian River County and that <br />we call upon our citizens to celebrate and promote the arts and culture in our nation and to <br />specifically encourage the greater participation by those said citizens in taking action for the arts <br />and humanities in our community. <br />Adopted this 18th day of October, 2016. <br />BOARD OF COUNTY COMMISSIONERS, <br />INDIAN RIVER COUNTY, FLORIDA <br />(O Bob Solari, Charman <br />� � J <br />eph E.
