WHEREAS, Anheuser-Busch and its local wholesaler, American Eagle Distributing, are
proud members of the Fort Collins community, with a long-standing commitment to ensure that its
products are enjoyed responsibly and has promoted responsible drinking since 1982 with an
investment of over $875 million; and
WHEREAS, Anheuser-Busch is opposed to drunk driving and believes it is 100 percent
preventable, and believes the beer industry should play a role in promoting alcohol responsibility

drivers; and

play an important role when it comes to alcohol responsibility in our communities; and
WHEREAS, many people in Fort Collins are passionate about promoting alcohol
responsibility and will participate in Global Be(er) Responsible Day on Sept. 23, taking pledges to
be designated drivers and encouraging their friends and family to remember to always use a
designated driver if they choose to drink.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Karen Weitkunat, Mayor of the City of Fort Collins, do hereby
proclaim September 23, 2011, as:
BE(ER) RESPONSIBLE DAY
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and the seal of the City of Fort
Collins this 20th day of September, A.D. 2011.
