SIMONSEN DAY in Contra Costa )
County )
On December 21, 1990, Hank Simonsen will be celebrating his 75th
birthday. In honor of this auspicious occasion, we would like to
thank and commend this exceptional citizen and friend for his
outstanding contributions to the war against drug and alcohol
abuse in Contra Costa County.
In 1982, Hank teamed up with Supervisor Sunne McPeak to start a
public/private partnership with local Rotary Clubs to help fight
drug and alcohol abuse. His dedication to the cause has been
endless, and the results of his efforts have been invaluable.
Hank' s deep concern about the drug abuse problem in our country
has also lead him to attempt a worldwide Rotary Clubs Drug and
Alcohol Prevention and Rehabilitation Foundation.
Hank is described as a quiet, giving man who would "walk on
water" to help his fellow citizens. Contra Costa is fortunate to
have benefitted from his dedicated efforts. He has been a
"general" in our "war," and we sincerely thank him for his
compassion and wish him a hardy Happy Birthday.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED that the Board of Supervisors
declares December 21, 1990, as HANK SIMONSEN DAY in Contra Costa
County in honor of his 75th birthday.
PASSED AND ADOPTED ON December 11, 1990, by a unanimous vote of
the Board members present.
