CITY OF HALLANDALE BEACH

MEMORANDUM

DATE:                        December 05, 2009

TO:                 D. Mike Good, City Manager

FROM:            Mayor Joy F. Cooper

SUBJECT:     Request for Agenda Item – Moment of Reflection and Call for World Peace

As the Holidays are approaching, I would like to convene our spiritual leaders for a moment of reflection and call for World Peace.  I truly believe that at this time, when so many are still struggling with the economy and jobs, world hunger, and war, the word of our spiritual leaders can help us reflect on what we have and on how to give and help others search for spiritual strength, peace and wisdom.

Accordingly, please place this item on the agenda for a moment of reflection with our leaders, colleagues and the Community.

“Every day we do things, we are things that have to do with peace. If we are aware of our life..., our way of looking at things, we will know how to make peace right in the moment, we are alive.”

Thich Nhat Hanh
