SJR18,1,42
Whereas, since the early 1900s, the American Red Cross has played a critical
3role in helping the residents of Wisconsin prevent, prepare for, and respond to,
4emergencies; and
SJR18,1,95
Whereas, this is a special time to recognize and thank our Everyday
6Heroes--those who reach out to help people in need. American Red Cross heroes
7help disaster victims recover. They give blood to help a hospital patient. They
8brighten the day of an injured service member. They step forward to help someone
9having a heart attack; and
SJR18,1,1210
Whereas, we appreciate Everyday Heroes throughout Wisconsin who help
11people in need. They work tirelessly to assist their neighbors when they need a
12helping hand; and
SJR18,2,313
Whereas, across the country and around the world, the American Red Cross
14responded to disasters. When an injured service member ended up in a hospital far
15from home, the American Red Cross offered comfort. When a hospital patient needed
1blood, American Red Cross blood donors helped them. When a lifeguard jumped in
2to save a drowning child or someone stepped up to help a heart attack victim, the
3American Red Cross was there; and
SJR18,2,74
Whereas, we dedicate this month to all those who support the American Red
5Cross mission to prevent and alleviate human suffering in the face of emergencies.
6Our community depends on the American Red Cross, which relies on donations of
7time, money, and blood to fulfill its humanitarian mission; now, therefore, be it
SJR18,2,10
8Resolved by the senate, the assembly concurring, That the members of the
9Wisconsin legislature proclaim March 2015 as American Red Cross Month in
10Wisconsin and commend this observance to all residents; and, be it further
SJR18,2,14
11Resolved, That the members of the legislature call upon Wisconsin residents
12to become partners with the American Red Cross in emergency preparedness by
13learning how to respond to emergencies and by donating blood, time, and financial
14resources in support of the American Red Cross mission; and, be it further
SJR18,2,16
