RESOLUTION

Whereas, it is estimated that about 16% of our total population is of Haitian descent and make their home in the Town of Randolph; and

Whereas, the people of Haiti and their friends and families throughout the world have been tragically impacted, either directly or indirectly, by the earthquake of January 12, 2010; and

Whereas, the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of the victims of the January 12th earthquake will likely last for a long time to come; and

Whereas, we as a government and a community have a moral responsibility to support our fellowmen in their time of need:

Therefore, Be it Resolved, that the Randolph Town Council encourages all the residents and businesses of Randolph to bolster relief efforts in support of the Haitian community not only in Haiti but within the Town of Randolph as well. And, Be it Further Resolved, that the Town of Randolph and the Randolph Town Council encourage support of the local non-profit "Randolph 4 Haiti" in its efforts to provide sustained relief for the physical, emotional, and psychological needs of the Haitian people here in Randolph and in their homeland of Haiti.

Offered This 8th Day Of February,
In The Year Of Our Lord 2010.
