Fire Fighter Appreciation Month
Whereas fighting fires is one of the most hazardous professions, requiring
physical strength, stamina, extensive training, courage, and selfless concern for
the welfare of our citizens, and
Whereas, in addition to their daily service to our communities, Fire Fighters
throughout the state and across the nation have joined the Muscular Dystrophy
Association for the past 59 years in the fight against neuromuscular diseases, and
Whereas, Florida Fire Fighters collected over $1,032,525 in over 300 communities
including the Village of Tequesta Fire Fighters, incorporated within the
Professional Firefighters/ Paramedics of Palm Beach County who raised $60,000
with their 2012 "Fill the Boot" campaign for the MDA; and
Whereas the Muscular Dystrophy Association is extremely grateful of the Village
of Tequesta Fire Fighters for their support and dedication, and
Whereas, the funds collected by the Village of Tequesta Fire Fighters assist the
MDA in providing medical services at local clinics, summer camp, research
grants, support groups, and public education seminars at no cost to local
children and families, and
Whereas, in honor of the efforts of the Village of Tequesta Fire Fighters, the
Muscular Dystrophy Association is sponsoring "the Village of Tequesta Fire
Fighter Appreciation Month," and
Whereas, it is appropriate for all Village of Tequesta Citizens to join the
Muscular Dystrophy Association in this tribute to our fire fighters.
Now, therefore be it resolved that the Village of Tequesta does hereby proclaim
the month of August as
THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA FIRE FIGHTER
APPRECIATION MONTH
And commend all of the Village of Tequesta Fire Fighters for their efforts on
behalf of the Mi���c��in+• n��c�rophy Association.
