PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, Bob Votruba has challenged many school children and adults in
Collier County to reach One Million Acts of Kindness in their
lifetimes through a nationwide bus and bicycle tour including
visits to the seven State of Florida Veteran nursing homes with
the desire of offering comfort to veterans and thanking them for
their service to our country; and,
WHEREAS, suicide prevention and awareness of this persistent challenge
facing our nation's youth is one of Bob Votruba's priorities to
ultimately reduce death by suicide in our nation's young people;
and,
WHEREAS, bullying is a serious problem at schools, playgrounds, school bus
stops and cyberspace, and kindness is a virtue that everyone can
practice every day to prevent bullying behaviors; and,
WHEREAS, kind thoughts and kind acts can be practiced in schools, public
governments, businesses, and communities to create a better and
more efficient society as a whole; and,
WHEREAS, when all generations of Collier County residents work together to
build a peaceful, kind, and harmonious community, everyone
benefits from such interactions every single day no matter what
their age, race, religion, sex, or national origin; and,
WHEREAS, the Collier County Kindness Awareness Celebration that has taken
place over the last three years has expanded to an eight day
celebration where schools, businesses, houses of worship, families
and others will be taking part this year in doing some wonderful
kind act for their community or neighborhood.
