Administration Proclamation Requests

You need to get your request sponsored by a Holyoke resident or group. The Mayor will not honor multiple requests from the same person or group in one year.
The proclamation must educate a significant amount of Holyoke citizens. Mayor Garcia does not offer them as awards and does not imply support of your event or project.
Mayor Garcia will issue a proclamation/citation for one date only, and usually won’t provide backdated proclamations.
The Mayor has the right to edit the drafted language of a proclamation/citation. Please keep in mind, they are ceremonial and not a legal document.
You’ll need to apply each year if the proclamation/citation is an annual event.
The Mayor and his staff have the right to deny your request. Don’t make any announcements about the proclamation until we contact you.

You must submit a request at least 20 days before an event or print deadline.

All requests are subject to review and editing before we accept or decline them.
