Information

Request/Subject

Adoption of Proclamation No. 2016-02 to proclaim April 2016, as "March for Babies Month" in Gila County.

Background Information

The 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 April 2016, as "March for Babies Month" in Gila County.

The annual Walk for Babies event took place in Globe, Arizona on April 16, 2016.

Conclusion

By having the Board of Supervisors adopt Gila County Proclamation No. 2016-05, it will help the Globe-Miami March of Dimes Committee spread the word about the fundraising efforts that are made to support the March of Dimes and to provide a report on its local March for Babies walkathon that was held on April 16, 2016.

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 April 2016, as "March for Babies Month" in Gila County.

Suggested Motion

Information/Discussion/Action to adopt Proclamation No. 2016-02 proclaiming April 2016, as "March for Babies Month" in Gila County. (Margret Celix)
