For that reason, I am honored to have joined Missing Angels, a local organization that in the last three years has been able to identify more than 150 missing children in the U.S. Finding missing children Is a huge responsibility, but if we all lend a hand to this cause and this organization, we can make a difference. In 1984 former United States President Ronald Reagan signed a resolution declaring May 25th National Missing Children's Day. On that same day this year Missing Angels will be holding the first annual commencement of National Missing Children's Day at Bayfront Park. This will be the first event of its kind in Miami -Dade to celebrate such an important day and to educate the public about the reality of missing children in our country. I commend City of Miami Commissioner 3oe Sanchez and Miami -Dade Commissioner Jimmy Morales as well as the Miami -Dade County School Board for supporting Missing Angels. I am honored to be part of the Missing Angels Initiative and I invite you to help make a difference In these families' lives by joining me and the many great people who have been touched by this tragedy, at Bayfront Park on May 251" from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., when we will celebrate National Missing Children's Day. 01- 4�7 LIP 30dd !RdeV: Z 1 10-01-1:10 `• ePCOC9880E •` invm Him d0 Allo :AV IN3S 981Qliiigl �Lli#g of lAElirxxrtl OFFICE OF THE CITY CLERK/ 3500 Pan American lhwe/P.O.
