Hospice of Southern Illinois Month

While certainly a worthy organization, well deserving of recognition, if you are going to proclaim a month "_____  Month",  wouldn't it be a better idea to make the proclamation t the start of the month?

On July 14, 2011, at 4:45 p.m. Mayor Joel Fritzler will issue a proclamation to Hospice of Southern Illinois to recognize their 30^th anniversary year in the community and proclaim July 2011 as Hospice of Southern Illinois Month. Through the commitment to quality and compassionate care of all caregivers associated with Hospice of Southern Illinois, patients are provided the opportunity to live fully up until the final moments in their homes, surrounded and supported by loved ones and friends.

Through this proclamation, Mayor Fritzler is encouraging all citizens to increase their understanding and awareness of options of care at the end of life, and to observe this occasion by supporting appropriate activities and programs.
