CITY OF SEBASTOPOL
Proclamation
Proclaiming March 2025 as American Red Cross Month
Whereas, each March, organizations celebrate American Red Cross Month by recognizing the compassionate acts of people in the City of Sebastopol and by renewing our commitment to lend a helping hand to our neighbors in need.; and
Whereas, Since Clara Barton founded the American Red Cross almost 150 years ago, generation after generation has stepped up to deliver relief and care across our country and around the world; and Whereas, the volunteers, blood and platelet donors, and financial supporters who now give back through the Sonoma/Napa Disaster Response Area of the American Red Cross remain unwavering in their commitment to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of today’s emergencies; and Whereas, these voluntary and generous contributions shine a beacon of hope in people’s darkest hours — whether it’s delivering shelter, food and comfort during disasters; providing critical blood donations for hospital patients; supporting service members, veterans and their families; saving lives with first aid, CPR, AED and other skills; or delivering international aid and reconnecting loved ones separated by global crises; and
Whereas, This work to uplift our community is truly made possible by those who selflessly answer the call to help, whenever and wherever it’s needed.
NOW, THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED, THAT I, Mayor Stephen Zollman, do hereby proclaim March 2025 as Red Cross Month and encourage all citizens of the Sebastopol to reach out and support its humanitarian mission.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and the Great Seal of the City of Sebastopol this 4th day of March, 2025.
