PROCLAMATION

 

WHEREAS, President Nixon signed an executive order in 1974 establishing National Volunteer Week as an annual celebration of Volunteering; and

 

WHEREAS, the creative use of human resources is essential to a healthy, productive and humane society; and

 

WHEREAS, volunteering is a powerful force for the solution of human problems; and

 

WHEREAS, volunteerism is increasingly recognized as a central partner with government, education and industry in doing the work of our community; and

 

WHEREAS, National Volunteer Week provides a special opportunity to say “thank you” to the men, women and children of all ages who choose to connect to this community by volunteering. 

 

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Kevin Foy, Mayor of the Town of Chapel Hill, wish to honor and to thank the dedicated citizens of our community who give so freely of their valuable time, energy and abilities by proclaiming this week of April 27-May 3, 2003 to be officially designated as

 

National Volunteer Recognition Week

 

in Chapel Hill, North Carolina.  And in so doing, I charge interested citizens to observe this week by seeking some area in the community in which they can devote a few hours each week and give aid to people or programs in need.

 

 

                              GIVEN UNDER MY HAND AND THE SEAL OF THE TOWN OF CHAPEL HILL ON THIS THE TWENTY EIGHTH DAY OF APRIL IN THE YEAR TWO THOUSAND AND THREE.
