PROCLAMATION
OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF COTATI
DECLARING THE MONTH OF MARCH 2024 AS AMERICAN RED CROSS MONTH WHEREAS, during American Red Cross Month in March, we recognize the compassion of people in Cotati and reaffirm our commitment to care for one another in times of crisis; and WHEREAS, this generous spirit is woven into the fabric of our community and advances the humanitarian legacy of American Red Cross founder Clara Barton, who nobly dedicated herself to alleviating suffering; and
WHEREAS, today, kindhearted individuals in our community exemplify Barton’s commitment as they step up through the Red Cross in the Northern California Coastal Region to provide a beacon of hope for our neighbors in need; and WHEREAS, through their voluntary and selfless contributions, they make a lifesaving difference in people’s darkest hours — whether it’s delivering shelter, food and comfort during disasters; providing critical blood donations for hospital patients; supporting military families, veterans and caregivers through the unique challenges of service; saving lives with first aid, CPR and other skills; or delivering aid and reconnecting loved ones separated by global crises; and WHEREAS, we hereby recognize this month of March in honor of all those who lead with their hearts to serve people in need, and we ask everyone to join in this commitment to strengthen our community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that the City Council of the City of Cotati proclaims the month of March as American Red Cross Month in Cotati, and encourages all citizens of Cotati to reach out and support its humanitarian mission.
