WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi was founded in 1931 during the Great
Depression out of the need for an organization that could bring women together and
expose them to a social, cultural and educational climate unavailable in those
difficult times; and
WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi has evolved into an international organization
for women with 165,000 active members; and
WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi, unlike a college sorority, is known around the
world as "The Friendship Organization" and has members of all ages and
educational backgrounds; and
WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi members worldwide have raised more than $3
million for local charities and donate over 200,000 volunteer hours on average every
year; and
WHEREAS, Beta Sigma Phi's Orlando Area Council has this year adopted as
a service project, The Russell Home for Atypical Children and gives continuing
support to New Hope for Kids, in support of its mission to provide support to
children of families grieving the death of a loved one and granting wishes to children
with life-threatening illnesses in Central Florida.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Robert Hoog, Mayor of the City of Cape Canaveral,
Brevard County, Florida, do hereby proclaim April 29, 2017 as
BETA SIGMA PHI DAY
