WHEREAS, more Americans each year are choosing recreational boating as an ideal way to relax with their families and friends. However, what starts out as a pleasant cruise often ends in tragedy because boaters fail to teach their families to swim, fail to properly equip their craft with Personal Flotation Devices and other protective equipment, or fail to instruct their passengers in the use of such devices prior to a boating cruise; and, WHEREAS, every year hundreds of lives are lost in boating accidents. These fatalities can be reduced and boating made more pleasurable if those who engage in it will emphasize knowledge, care and courtesy necessary for safe boating; and, WHEREAS, the Congress of the United States, having recognized the need for safe boating, has, by a joint resolution of June 4, 1958 (72 Stat. 179), requested the President to annually proclaim one week as National Safe Boating Week, NOW, THEREFORE, I, William F.

Koch Jr., Mayor Town of Gulf Stream 100 Sea Road Gulf Stream, Florida 33483 Re: National Safe Boating Week Dear Mr. Koch. The President of the United States has again proclaimed June 3rd to June 9th, "National Safe Boating Weekn! It has been our practice in the past years to request our local townships to join in this worthwhile celebration by proclaiming the same. We would like the Town of Gulf Stream to give the United States Coast Guard Auxiliary a similar proclamation, as they had done in 1986, 1987 & 1988. I am taking the liberty of enclosing a sample copy of a past Delray Beach Proclamation that can be used as a for- mat. These Proclamation will be utilized when they are displayed at the malls and public boat ramps where we will have our "Safety Booths" set up during that week. We will have all kinds of T.V. and News- paper media coverage. If you would like to make a formal presentation at one of your Coun- cil meetings please let us know so we can have proper representation there to accept the proclamation. If that is not feasible, just call me and I will pick up the document at City Hall. Awaiting your favorable reply, I remain. Your fo afe Boating "!
