Designating the month of March, 2009 as "American Red Cross Month".
Whereas, The American Red Cross was Founded in 1881 and

Whereas, The American Red Cross is recognized as a humanitarian
organization which provides compassionate care in times of war and
disaster; and
Whereas, The American Red Cross depends on the support of the American people to sustain the Red Cross mission; and
Whereas, In 2008, more than 3,000 American Red Cross volunteers
from West Virginia responded to more than 850 disasters statewide,
assisted 2,300 military families through a wide variety of support
programs, and trained more than 70 thousand in lifesaving courses
such as CPR, First Aid and Water Safety; and
Whereas, The American Red Cross collects more than 25,000 pints
of life-giving blood from generous West Virginia donors; and
Whereas, The American Red Cross could not provide its vital
services without contributions from the American people; therefore,
be it
Resolved by the House of Delegates:
That the House of Delegates hereby designates the month of
March, 2009 as "American Red Cross Month"; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Clerk of the House of Delegates
forward a certified copy of this resolution to the appropriate
