PROCLAMATION
American Red Cross Month
March 2024
WHEREAS, during American Red Cross Month in March, we recognize the compassion and kindness of people in the City of Napa 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 — one of the most honored women in our country’s history —who nobly dedicated herself to alleviating suffering; and WHEREAS, every day, 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. 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, to providing critical blood donations for local hospitals; 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 of Napa.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that I, Scott Sedgley, Mayor of the City of Napa, along with the City Council, do hereby proclaim March 2024 as American Red Cross Month and encourage all residents of the City of Napa to reach out and support its humanitarian mission.
Dated: March 5, 2024
