PROCLAMATION
American Red Cross Month
March 2023
WHEREAS, during Red Cross Month in March 2023, we celebrate the spirit of the City of Napa and reaffirm our commitment to help ensure no one faces a crisis alone; and WHEREAS, caring for one another is at the heart of our community and is exemplified by the people of Napa whose simple acts of kindness through the Red Cross provide help and hope in people’s most difficult moments, thereby continuing the legacy of Clara Barton, who founded the organization more than 140 years ago to prevent and alleviate human suffering; and WHEREAS, every day, these ordinary individuals lend a helping hand to make an extraordinary difference for neighbors in need by providing emergency shelter, food, and comfort for families displaced by home fires and other local disasters, donating lifesaving blook, supporting military members and veterans and their families and caregivers, teaching first aid, CPR, and other skills, and delivering international humanitarian aid; and WHEREAS, their support, volunteerism, and generous donations are critical to our community’s resilience. We hereby recognize this month of March in horror of all those who fulfill Clara Barton’s noble words, “You must never think of anything except the need, and how to meet it,” and we ask everyone in the City of Napa to join in this commitment.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Scott Sedgley, Mayor of the City of Napa, along with the Napa City Council, do hereby proclaim March 2023 as American Red Cross Month in the City of Napa and call upon our citizens to support this organization and its noble humanitarian mission.
Dated: March 7, 2023
