A RESOLUTION PROCLAIMING VOLUNTEERS OF AMERICA WEEK
WHEREAS, Volunteer and volunteer organizations have played a
unique and irreplaceable role in the growth and development of our
state and our community, by identifying and defining needs, by pro-
viding services to meet those needs, by advocating on behalf of
those unable to speak for themselves, and by advising and directing
both private and public organizations and agencies; and
WHEREAS, Volunteerism, as a central partner with government and
business, is a growing force that is continually contributing to the
well being of our State; and
WHEREAS, Many of today's complex challenges can be met by
increased involvement of the individual citizens, who as volunteers
with a wealth of diverse backgrounds, would bring, along with their
deep sense of caring, new and fresh ideas for solving problems; and
WHEREAS, Our community has benefitted as more and more citizens
bestow the priceless gift that comes only when people give of
themselves; and
WHEREAS, Recognition should be given to individual volunteers
for their contributions to the health, education, welfare,
recreation, environmental, and cultural services to the benefit of
their fellow citizens and their communities.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Thomas L. Hamilton, Mayor of the City of
Chanhassen, commend and thank the dedicated citizens of our com-
munity who gave so freely of their valuable time, talent and
energies by declaring the week of March 6-13, 1988 to be VOLUNTEERS
OF AMERICA WEEK in Chanhassen, Minnesota, and I call on all our
citizens to help to renew and sustain the spirit and vitality of our
great community by committing a portion of time to voluntary action.
Passed and adopted by the City Council of the City of Chanhassen
this 22nd day of February, 1988.
