October 25, 2013 Chairman Kevin Corbin Macon County 5 West Main Street Franklin, NC 28734 Dear Chairman Corbin, On November 25, 2013, The Zonta Club of Franklin will be joining 43 other Zonta clubs spanning seven states and four countries in a united service and advocacy effort to prevent and end violence against women and girls in their local communities. We encourage you to consider issuing a Proclamation to officially declare that The Zonta Club of Franklin and Macon County North Carolina Say NO to Violence Against Women. By doing this, you will help raise awareness of, and increase the actions to end violence against women. You will also be part of a global campaign to end gender violence. On November 25th, and during the 16 Days of Activism that follows, our club will be handing out flyers and support ribbons to increase awareness in our community. We hope you will join us by issuing a Proclamation for this special advocacy initiative. If you have any questions, please contact me at (828) 349-9194. Sincerely,
Zonta Says NO November 25 Kick-Off and 16 Days of Activism To Raise Public Awareness regarding Violence against Women
WHEREAS, we as citizens of this community, recognize the worldwide problems of violence against women occurs even here in Macon County, North Carolina; and WHEREAS, violence against women is traumatic to the body, mind and spirit and can prevent people from being fully active participants at home and in the world; and WHEREAS, violence against women costs the nation billions of dollars annually in medical expenses, police and court costs, shelters and foster care, sick leave, absenteeism and non productivity; and WHEREAS, in spite of some progress, we need only to look at our newspapers or watch a television newscast to see the unfortunate truth that violence against women has not yet been eliminated here in Macon County, or around the world; and WHEREAS, we support efforts of individuals and join organizations, such as the Zonta Club of Franklin, to raise awareness, stimulate discussion, and advocate for local solutions that will curb violence against women; and WHEREAS, these local people join thousands of others from around the world to assert that the right of women and men to be free of violence is a fundamental human right. NOW THEREFORE, I, Kevin Corbin, by virtue of the authority vested in me as the Chairman of the Macon County Board of Commissioners, do hereby proclaim that on November 25 and during the 16 Days of Activism all citizens are urged to support work to end violence against women and to eliminate the detrimental consequences it has on the well-being of our community. IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the official seal of Macon County, this _________ day of November, 2013.
