The Florida Sesquicentennial Celebration has been designed to be a grass roots celebration and <br />specific Commission powers will be delegated to individual county Sesquicentennial Coordinating <br />Committees within the 67 counties. The Sesquicentennial Coordinating Committee will be <br />charged with the primary responsibility of encouraging, sanctioning and coordinating local <br />Sesquicentennial activides/events which take place within the county of jurisdiction. <br />The Florida Sesquicentennial Commission suggests that your Sesquicentennial Coordinating <br />Committee be as inclusive as possible. It should be comprised of influential and committed <br />members of the business, education, cultural and civic segments of the community, local <br />governments both at the county and the municipal level should be involved as well. You could <br />choose to include a representative of each municipality in your county and/or a member of the <br />Local /Regional League of Cities (to help coordinate the cities, activities). Although it will be <br />ultimately up to the County Commission as to the number of members, it is suggested that the <br />Sesquicentennial Coordinating Committee haven less than five and no more than fifteen <br />members. It will also be the decision of your commission as to the composition -of the <br />Sesquicentennial Committee; however, the members should be people willing to work to make <br />this special occasion a success. <br />It is reaues ed that this issue be placed on the Anda for the next commission meeting so that <br />anvomtments are made as soon as ssi'ble. After appointments are made please Fax (and send a <br />follow-up hard copy) a complete alphabetical list of all appointed members, along with their <br />addresses, phone and fax numbers. Also please note chairman and vice-chairman as they will be <br />the primary points of contact. <br />We look forward to working with your Sesquicentennial Coordinating Committee to make the <br />celebration of the 150th anniversary of statehood for Florida a success.
