The Board of Directors of the Jupiter Tequesta Juno Beach Chamber of Commerce,Inc.,at a duly called
meeting and vote,resolves as follows:
WHEREAS, in the life of a nation,a united citizenry is given opportunities to define who we are as a
people and the values we represent. In the aftermath of the well-planned,coordinated terrorist attacks on
September 11,2001,on infrastructure targets in New York and Washington D.C.,'the American people are
given an opportunity to display a renewed citizenship ethic and patriotism:and

Chamber of Commerce stands as a full and committed ally of the people of New York and Washington
D.C.to rebuild their communities and offers support to the families who lost loved ones on the four
hijacked passenger jets;and
Whereas,these acts of terror were designed to tear at the fabric of the American economy, Jupiter
Tequesta Juno Beach employers have a need to be kept informed of events that will impact their
businesses,and to be advised on how to minimize those impacts;and
Whereas,it is necessary to provide social and business venues as a place for our Chamber leaders and
community leaders to gather as our region and nation face the cowardly acts that have cost so many lives;
and,
Whereas,safety,good sense, security and caution must be forefront in our minds,we shall be unyielding in
our support of individual liberty and the secure and free movement of people and business products and
services on a global basis.
NOW THEREFORE,BE IT RESOLVED BY THE JUPITER TEQUESTA JUNO BEACH CHAMBER
OF COMMERCE,INC.THAT:
Our local Chamber stands fore square in support of immediate military,diplomatic and humanitarian
initiatives set forth by the President of the United States and the United States Congress to eliminate the
faceless cowards who committed these acts of terrorism;and
The Jupiter Tequesta Juno Beach Chamber of Commerce will commit to raise awareness,funds,encourage
blood donations,and offer other support to victims of these terrorist acts and their families through
collaboration with appropriate public and private organizations;and
We believe that,while mourning the victims and suffering our losses,we can show strength to the forces of
evil by resuming normal commerce in this community as soon as possible; and we encourage our
members,our business community and the business communities of our nation to resume commerce to the
fullest extent possible. In that regard,we stand ready to facilitate,promote and support continuation of
commerce at all levels as part of our Nation's response to these egregious acts.
