Title
Proclamation in Recognition of Danielle Ziaja for her outstanding achievement in forming the Clean Start project
 
Body
Whereas, Danielle Ziaja, who is an outstanding senior at Detroit Country Day School, started the Clean Start Service project, which collects personal items and school supplies to donate to local charities; and
 
Whereas, Danielle's first donation went to the Lighthouse and the Rochester Area Neighborhood House, where leaders said the donation was the largest-ever by an individual; and
 
Whereas, recently, Danielle and Clean Start donated items to the Macomb County Rotating Emergency Shelter Team and the Salvation Army.  The group also donated uniforms to Brookfield Academy in Rochester Hills, where Danielle attended elementary school.  During the summer, Danielle managed to collect and donate more than 31,000 items; and
 
Whereas, Danielle has always felt compelled to give back.  She cares about the community and the people who need help and is a wonderful role model for both our young and old.
 
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Mayor and City Council of Rochester Hills, hereby recognize Danielle Ziaja for her outstanding achievement in forming the Clean Start project, and commend her for making a difference in the City of Rochester Hills and many surrounding communities.
