|
WHEREAS, Mr. Kreimerman is the founder of Hermes Music and |
|
the Hermes Music Foundation; a native of Argentina and a gifted |

|
underserved children; and |
|

|
power of music to transform individuals' lives; he established the |
|
Hermes Music Foundation in 2008, and over the years, he and his |
|

|
pay for medical care and scholarships for children and families |
|
living in the Rio Grande Valley and in towns across Nevada, Florida, |
|
California, and Mexico; and |
|
WHEREAS, This outstanding philanthropist has enlisted such |
|
talented artists and personalities as Carlos Santana, Willie |
|
Nelson, Deepak Chopra, and B. B. King in his efforts to empower |
|
young people and help them achieve their potential; in particular, |
|
the programs he orchestrates are intended to benefit youths who |
|
face illness, disabilities, and extreme poverty; and |
|
WHEREAS, For his humanitarian efforts and generosity of |
|
spirit and for his untiring efforts to improve the lives of others, |
|
Mr. Kreimerman is indeed deserving of praise and recognition; now, |
|
therefore, be it |
|
