Ohio Mayor's supporting Prostate Cancer Awareness

I live in Ohio and this the blog that I started. Currently there are 133 markers, there are over 900 Cities and Villages and one day it is my hope that all of them will have a Proclamation for September.

A Challenge to the Cities and Villages

My second part to my challenge to you is by next September your city will also support us in raising awareness too by illuminated your City Hall or Landmark BLUE in September even for one day is a start or even the whole month would show the families of prostate cancer that We are not alone in the fight to raise awareness. Marysville, Ohio has made a commitment to turn a pond Blue n Aldersgate Park and Lancaster is talking about turning their Clock Tower for September. I hope you would consider my request and have Ohio be the first State to have all cities supporting Prostate Cancer Awareness.

The overwhelming support is growing and it make me proud that there are so many cities and villages that are stepping up and raising awareness all around Ohio. I would love to also add your city and village supporting me in raising awareness for Prostate Cancer.

Can I count on a commitment from your City or Village for 2015?

Zeemaps.com

I use this website and each time a response of a Proclamation or Commitment is received. A marker is placed on the map, I copy and pate the email into the details section of the marker. You can also upload a picture of the Proclamation as well. 

Map Currently this map has no markers from other states.

 

Photo copies

Each Proclamation that is sent I make a color photo copy of it and place it in a binder. If there is a note or letter sent that is also copies and placed in a protective cover as well. This makes it easier to share the Proclamations with others at events with out worry of them getting damaged or lost. Currently they are not in any particular order. 

Beautifully matted

A couple of Cities have sent their Proclamations that they have beautifully matted! 

Organized Originals

When an Original is received it is placed in a folder with the City or Village name. then placed in alphabetical order. There are two that are standing up as they will not fit in a folder. They were professioinally matted by the Cities.
