CITY OF WINTER SPRINGS
WHEREAS, the citizens of the State of Florida are fully
aware of the increasing interdependence of all nations; and
WHEREAS, United Nations Day is designated by the UN General
Assembly each year to commemorate the founding of this organization on
October 24, 1945; and
WHEREAS, on this occasion, Americans join with other peoples
of the world in reaffirming our commitment to the principles upon which
the UN was founded: international peace and security; respect for human
rights; and the promotion of social and economic cooperation among nations; and
WHEREAS, UN Day also gives us the opportunity to examine our
involvement in the world's problems and their solutions; and
WHEREAS, it is clear that the power to solve the world's problems
no longer lies solely in the hands of a few nations, but that all nations must
work together to relieve the suffering of millions, to halt nuclear prolifera-
tion, and to promote economic development; and
WHEREAS, Americans have made a significant contribution to the
creation and continuing work of the United Nations because we recognize it
as a channel through which the United States can take productive action for
world peace and prosperity; and
WHEREAS, we believe that continued support for the United Nations
can advance constructive goals that will benefit not only the United States
but also the other countries of the world;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, John V. Torcaso, by virtue of the authority
vested in me as Mayor of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, do hereby
proclaim Monday, October 24,1983, as
UNITED NATIONS DAY
in Pinter Springs, Florida, and encourage all citizens to participate in
programs and activities designed to increase understanding of the challenges
and opportunities presented through the United Nations and to develop ideas
e
e
and plans to make the UN more effective in pursuing its noble objectives.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand and
caused the Seal of the City
of Winter Springs to be
affixed at Winter Springs,
this 10th day of October,
in the year of our Lord nineteen
hundred and eighty-three.
