WHEREAS, we are
gathered here on this occasion, as friends, family and neighbors of Joseph
Patrick Baumer, Jr., to recognize and celebrate his attainment of the rank of
Eagle Scout and to recognize the faithful and steady path taken as a member of
Boy Scout Troop 70 to reach an outstanding achievement within the Scouting
organization; and
WHEREAS, scouting,
for both boys and girls, has been an integral part of our community as well as
a positive influence for many years, and we note that the Boy Scouts of America
are nearing their 100th anniversary year within the United States of America;
and
WHEREAS, Fort Thomas
has benefited not only by the dedication and support of troop leaders and
parents such as Joe and Jill Baumer, but by the individual work projects of the
Scouts as they earn their badges and as they select a project to reflect
interests and skills toward reaching the coveted rank of Eagle Scout; and
WHEREAS, we commend Joey
on his Eagle project, a Tree Trail on the property of St. Thomas, which is an
example of the many contributions he has made to the community as a resident of
Fort Thomas and through academic and sports achievements during his high school years at Highlands High
School;
Joseph
Patrick Baumer, Jr. - Eagle Scout Day
within the City,
and hereby ask that all citizens honor him on this day.
Signed this 20th
day of November, 2008.
