As proclaimed by the President of the United States, "March is Red Cross Month." Across the
nation, friends of the American Red Cross are doing their part to help us increase awareness.
This year we are asking for your support in an effort to promote awareness in the
community. People in this community take comfort in the fact that the Red Cross is always
there: offering our help when fire strikes, hurricanes, or other disasters. We reunite families
separated by war and the Holocaust. We train people in CPR, first aid, water safety and
HN/AIDS prevention. We provide emergency communications and financial assistance to
military families. We do quite a bit and need your help to spread the word.
We would greatly appreciate having you declare a proclamation that March is Red Cross
Month. Please propose this proclamation to your municipality during your next council
meeting. Once your proclamation is issued, the Red Cross can provide your office with an
official Red Cross Flag to be proudly flown throughout the month.
We admire your company's commitment to community and respect our positive working
relationship. As a participant in Red Cross Month, you would be providing a public service to
our community. Please call me directly at 561-650 9105 so that we can work out the details
of this partnership.
1 look forward to\talking with you soon,
