We are planning on keeping The Children's Bill Of Rights going for ever with upgrades to our site as often as
we can. 1. If you could proclaim to stand up for our children as long as you can that would be great. 3. If we
could set it up to receive the proclamation at a City Council meeting we could have photos taken and posted on
the web cite. Let me know what you think so we can set up a date and time. Thank you, Cheri Preuitt ACEO

My name is Cheri Preuitt and I am acting CEO for the Children"s Bill of Rights. Thank you for your interest in
the project. I am going to send you a copy of the proclamation from the city of Rancho Mirage so you can have
an idea of what other cities are doing. I hope this answers your questions. If not you can email me back.
Thank You, Cheri Preuitt

Good afternoon,
We received your letter dated June 1, 2012, regarding a request for a Proclamation for children's
rights.
Mayor Robert Spiegel has authorized such a Proclamation. We need more information from you to
prepare the Proclamation:
1. What would you like to Proclaim? A day, week, or month?
2. Please provide suggested wording for the Proclamation. Since you have already received one from the City of
Rancho Mirage, you could forward a copy.
3. How and when would you like to receive the Proclamation? At a City Council meeting? In the mail?
Thank you,
Jane Stanley
