WHEREAS, each March we formally recognize the Greater Palm Beach Area Chapter
of the American Red Cross and its essential humanitarian role in the Village of North Palm
Beach, Florida; and

services in this community to help those affected by everything from house or apartment
fires, hurricanes, and other natural and human caused disasters, thanks to the generous
support of the people in North Palm Beach; and
WHEREAS, for more than 92 years, Floridians have relied on the Greater Palm
Beach Area Chapter of the American Red Cross to provide disaster relief, water safety and
first aid/CPR/AED Training. Over the past year, nearly 125,000 people in our region have
enrolled in American Red Cross Health and Safety Courses; and
WHEREAS, The Greater Palm Beach Area Chapter has sent 250 emergency
messages to active duty personnel and their families. The American Red Cross also
reaches out to members of the National Guard and Reserves and their families who reside
in nearly every community in Palm Beach County.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, David B. Norris, by virtue of the authority vested in me as
Mayor of the Village of North Palm Beach, do hereby proclaim March 2010, as

our country, I encourage all Americans to support this organization's noble humanitarian
mission down the street, across the country and around the world.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the
Village of North Palm Beach to be affixed this 3rd day of March, 2010.
