Submitted By:	Marian Sheppard, Chief Deputy Clerk, BOS, Clerk of the Board of Supervisors
Department:	Clerk of the Board of Supervisors

Information

Request/Subject

Adoption of Proclamation No. 2013-01, to proclaim March 16, 2013, as "March for Babies Day" in Gila County.

Background Information

The Chief Deputy Clerk of the Board of Supervisors received this request from Margret Celix, Chairman of the Globe-Miami March of Dimes Committee, to present a proclamation to the Board of Supervisors for its adoption at a future Board meeting.

Evaluation

The March of Dimes Foundation is a national organization whose mission is as follows: "We help moms have full-term pregnancies and research the problems that threaten the health of babies." It is important to honor this request for the Board of Supervisors to adopt a proclamation to proclaim March 16, 2013, as "March for Babies Day" in Gila County, so hopefully citizens will join in a local fundraising Walkathon in Globe-Miami on Saturday, March 16th, or make a contribution to this worthwhile cause.

Conclusion

By having the Board of Supervisors adopt Gila County Proclamation No. 2013-01, it will help the Globe-Miami March of Dimes Committee spread the word about the upcoming March of Dimes Walkathon fundraiser event on Saturday, March 16, 2013, to be held in the local area.

Recommendation

It is recommended that Ms. Celix be allowed the opportunity to present a proclamation to the Board of Supervisors for its adoption to proclaim March 16, 2013, as "March for Babies Day" in Gila County.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Proclamation No. 2013-01, to proclaim March 16, 2013, as "March for Babies Day" in Gila County. (Margret Celix)
