Recognizing ALS Awareness Month
Council Member Robinson presented a resolution at the May 14 Council meeting recognizing May as ALS Awareness Month, acknowledging the thousands of Americans who are affected by the fatal disease.

“Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis Awareness Month provides an opportunity to increase public awareness of the dire circumstances of people living with ALS, acknowledge the negative impact the disease has on affected individuals and their families, and support research to eradicate this disease,” the resolution said in part.
