PROCLAMATIoN
and;
WHEREAS, the plight of missing and exploited children is a national tragedy,
WHEREAS, an estimated 1.5 million children are missing nationwide, and an
estimated three to four thousand are missing in Florida alone, and;
WHEREAS, these children have the same right to safety and security as other
citizens, yet are vulnerable to exploitation of every kind, and;
WHEREAS, the families of these children live with the terrible sorrow of not
knowing what has happened to their children, and;
WHEREAS, because so many of our nation's children are victims of abduction
and exploitation, we should be saddened, and inspired to join with the volunteers and
professionals who seek to save these children.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, PAUL P. PARTYKA, by virtue of the authority
vested in me as Mayor of the City of Winter Springs, Florida, do hereby proclaim the
25th day of May, 2000, as
"NATIONAL MISSING CHILDREN'S DAY"
in the City of Winter Springs, Florida, and urge all citizens to join together to protect
the children who are safe at home, and search tirelessly for all those who are missing.
