DESCRIPTION:
Tammy Goldstein, Dublin Relay for Life Event Chair, has requested the City of Dublin approve
the placement of purple bows on Dublin streets to promote the Relay for Life community event
which will take place May 19-20, 2012, at Wells Middle School. Relay for Life is an event, in
association with the American Cancer Society, that gives communities a chance to celebrate the
lives of people who have battled cancer, remember loved ones lost, and fight back against the
disease.
This is the sixth year this request has been made and, if the City Council concurs with this
request for the placement of Purple Ribbons, Dublin Relay for Life Event volunteers would once
again organize the placement and removal of the ribbons on City trees and poles along Dublin
Boulevard and Village Parkway, from May 5-12, 2012. Ribbons will only be placed on City trees
and poles along the street sidewalks and not be placed on the street median trees or control
devices (i.e. stop signs, directional signs and cross walk signs).
NOTICING REQUIREMENTS/PUBLIC OUTREACH: None.
