IN THE VILLAGE OF TEQUESTA
WHEREAS, public parks and recreation systems are dedicated to enhancing the
quality of life for millions of residents in communities around the world through
recreation programming, leisure activities and conservation efforts.
WHEREAS, Parks, recreation activities and leisure experiences provide
opportunities for young people to live, grow and develop into contributing members of
society; create lifelines and continuous life experiences for older members of the
community; generate opportunities for people to come together and experience a sense
of community; and, pay dividends to communities by attracting business and jobs and
increasing housing values.
WHEREAS, as we observe Recreation and Parks Month, we recognize the vital
contributions of employees and volunteers in parks and recreation facilities. These
dedicated supporters keep public parks clean and safe for visitors, organize youth
activities, provide educational programming on health, nutrition, first aid and gardening,
advocate for more open space and better trails, and fundraise for local improvements.
They ensure that parks and recreation facilities are safe and accessible places for all
citizens to enjoy.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved that by virtue of the authority vested in me
as Mayor of the Village of Tequesta, I do hereby proclaim the month of July as
"Recreation and Parks Month"
The Village of Tequesta calls upon park and recreation supporters and each
citizen and business to join us in recognizing the importance of our nation's parks and
recreation facilities and to learn more about how to support the places that bring our
communities a higher quality of life, safer places to play and healthy alternatives through
recreation programming for everyone.
WE DO ALSO RESOLVE that during Recreation and Parks Month all citizens
enjoy what their community has to offer by taking part in their favorite sports, visiting the
outdoors, spending time with family and friends or just relaxing.
