Florida Governor Charlie Crist signed a proclamation on April 1, 2010 declaring May as Motorcycle Safety Awareness Month. Members of Southernmost ABATE’s Board of Directors have been busy obtaining the same proclamation from local governments. Pictured below is Layton Mayor Norman Anderson presenting the proclamation to our President Sandy MacLaren on April 1, 2010. Additional declarations are forthcoming from the cities of Key West, Marathon, Key Colony Beach, and Islamorada, and from Monroe County.

The proclamations urge citizens to join the public safety campaign to be aware of motorcycles on our roads and for all motorcyclists to take advantage of motorcycle safety programs throughout the year.

May is the perfect month to educate EVERYONE about the importance of WATCHING OUT FOR MOTORCYCLES!
