Summary
The Page County Board of Supervisors adopted a proclamation recognizing May 8, 2026 as World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day, honoring volunteers and noting the movement helps roughly 1 in 65 people worldwide.
Representatives from the American Red Cross asked the Page County Board of Supervisors to adopt a proclamation recognizing May 8, 2026 as World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day. Josh Mongold and Deborah Fleming outlined the Red Cross mission and requested formal recognition of volunteers and staff who provide emergency services and training.
The Board adopted the proclamation by a unanimous vote. The adopted proclamation notes, "May 8th marks World Red Cross and Red Crescent Day—a moment to recognize the tirelessness of the Red Cross mission and the people who make it possible," and cites that "every year, the Red Cross and Red Crescent helps 1 in 65 people around the globe." The motion to adopt the proclamation passed 6-0.
The proclamation directs county recognition of local Red Cross volunteer efforts and marks May 8, 2026 for observances; the Board did not appropriate funds as part of this action.
