Item number seven from the consent agenda, and the item number eight from the resolution section. Okay, here we go. Our first proclamation is in recognition of National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Month, and I invite Miss Kimberly Hill, Community Relations Coordinator for the Task Force for Ending Homeless Outreach to come forward. Is she present or representative? Okay. Good evening and welcome to the city of Myanmar. And this proclamation is in recognition of National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Month. And it reads as follows. And whereas November of each month, the United States acknowledges National Hunger and Homelessness Awareness Week. And whereas the purpose of the proclamation is to educate the public about the many reasons people are homeless, including the shortage of affordable housing in Broward County. And whereas to encourage the support of homeless service providers as well as create community service opportunities for residents, business, businesses, students, and service organizations. And whereas it is our hope that all neighbors will help their neighbors in need in our community. And whereas the intent of National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Week is consistent with the activities of the task force for ending homeless Inc. Be it resolved that the City of Myanmar encourages all citizens to recognize that many people do not have housing and need support from citizens and private public and not profit and nonprofit service entities. Now, therefore, I Wayne Messam, mayor of the City of Myanmar, and on behalf of the City Commission, do hereby proclaim November 2022 in the City of Myanmar to be National Hunger and Homeless Awareness Month. Thank you for all the services that you provide to our community. Would you like to share a few words? Yes, thank you, Mr. Mayor, Madam Vice Chair Mayor, and all the commissioners. Oftentimes these proclamations seem to be just words to people, but when you put those words out there, it really proves that all of the neighbors, whether they're housed or unhoused, are our neighbors and are uh human beings who deserve our respect and our love and our care. So thank you very much for this, Mayor.
