Subject: Slogan for the City of Seal Beach
Background:
The Friends of the Library want to thank the Mayor Paul Yost and the City
Council for encouraging us to seek a slogan for the City of Seal Beach.
Many residents and visitors to Seal Beach have seen city slogans and mottos
in other cities and suggested that Seal Beach adopt one. Since the libraries have
direct contact with residents and visitors to Seal Beach it was natural that the
Friends of the Library provide an opportunity for people to help create a slogan
that helped explain how they felt about the city.
As an additional incentive to give careful thought to a slogan the Seal Beach
Friends of the Library has provided a $ 100 gift certificate for the entry that best
explains why people enjoy living here and visiting the city. There are so many
reasons that people love Seal Beach it would take a book to list all of the reasons. To
find a short slogan that would contain all of the reasons became a very difficult task
for the Friends. The entries were all given to each member of the Friend's eight
member board. Each member took the entries and picked their top 3 choices. After
each member had reviewed the entries a special joint meeting was held and the
winning slogan was picked. The final choice needed to be short but include all of the
reasons for loving Seal Beach. A challenging task but a wonderful experience when
the entries were reviewed. The love for Seal Beach was evident. The slogan states
that we love Seal Beach because it is:
",A'City of Surf, Sun and Fun"
The entry was submitted by Floyd Green, a long time resident of Seal Beach.
We request your approval and adoption of Floyd Green's slogan.
