Award Citation
June 18, 2003
The Florida Keys Council For People With Disabilities is pleased to present its Award for
outstanding service to disabled persons in Monroe County to Monroe County
Transportation.
This award recognizes the myriad instances of human kindness above and beyond the
job description, provided regularly by Monroe County Transportation employees. This
individually scheduled service provides wheelchair users and other disabled individuals
with an improved quality of life, and, through its health care functions, an improved
length of life.
In addition to its mandated tasks, Monroe County Transportation provides wheelchair-
lift busses for groups on weekends and holidays, without overtime pay. These groups
include Plantation Key Convalescent Center, Marathon Manor, Key West Convalescent
Center, the Multiple Sclerosis Society of the Florida Keys and the American Association
of Retired People.
On behalf of the Disabled citizens of the Florida Keys this plaque is presented with
sincere gratitude for your compassion.
AWARD OF APPRECIATION
Presented by The Florida Keys Council for People with Disabilities
We proudly present this award to Larry Kelley and Dave Campbell of the Monroe
County Sheriff's Department in recognition and appreciation of their outstanding
efforts on behalf of the people with disabilities of Monroe County. These two
gentlemen unselfishly donated over 400 man hours installing and refurbishing
parking spaces and signs for the disabled. The 400 man hours consisted of 10 full
weeks of labor installing, painting, and refurbishing these parking spots and
handing out violations. During these 10 weeks, Mr. Kelley and Mr. Campbell
distributed 300 violations for parking in a disabled parking spot, refurbished 46
disabled parking spots and installed 28 disabled parking signs.
This type of commitment truly shows their dedication and willingness in assisting
the disabled citizens of Monroe County. Mr. Kelley and Mr. Campbell strive to
make the quality of life much better for the disabled citizens of Monroe County.
We stand here today honoring these gentlemen for their contribution of man hours
and man power used to assist our community's disabled citizens. This dynamic duo
truly sets a perfect example for all citizens to follow.
