AGENDA ITEM #
Monroe County Celebrating Youth Success Day
Whereas, the 181h Annual Children's Week celebrating Parent's and Children will take place in
Tallahassee from April 7, 2013 to April 12, 2013, bringing thousands of parents, children,
professionals, policy makers, community leaders and concerned citizens together to share valuable
knowledge and information about children's issues across the state and in our capital city; and
Whereas, the purpose of Children's Week is to create a shared vision of the State of Florida's
commitment to its children and families and to engage a long-term process to develop and implement
strategies for moving the shared vision forward; and
Whereas, Children's Week has teamed up with more than 100 leading statewide business and non-
profit organizations and hundreds of local organizations to expand the network of community
involvement and education on a wide array of children and family issues at the local level and conduct
event and activities in January, February, March and April in all 67 counties focused on improving the
health, safety and well-being of Florida's children and families; and
Whereas, hundreds of local municipalities have officially proclaimed "Children's Day and hosted
hundreds of public events and activities for parents and children in their community.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, George R. Neugent, Mayor, by virtue of the authority vested in me by Monroe
County, Florida, do hereby proclaim the 71h of April, 2013, as
YOUTH SUCCESS DAY IN MONROE COUNTY
and
PARENTS AND CHILDREN' S DAY IN MONROE COUNTY
Originally established as "Children's Day" in 1988, the 2002 Florida Legislature renamed this official,
statewide Florida holiday as "Parents and Children's Day" to more fully reflect support of the most
important institution in Florida --the family.
Signed this 20th day of February, 2013 George R. Neugent, Mayor
