CITY OF CHANHASSEN
PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS: "It takes a whole village to educate a child."
(African proverb) The whole community has the
responsibility to work in concert with the
home to provide consistent messages about how
we are to treat each other.
WHEREAS: The entire community participated in a process
to identify a common ground of basic goodness.
The District 112 communities process involved
three community forums and a committee that
reviewed and summarized the input from the
community. The values were then adopted by
the city councils, school board and county
commissioners.
WHEREAS: The entire community must be involved. This
includes school, business, clergy, law
enforcement, social services, city government
and service organizations. This involvement
begins with identifying the values and
continues by community members modeling and
promoting the values.
WHEREAS: The City of Chanhassen has adopted and
promotes the eight Community Values of
CITIZENSHIP, ENVIRONMENTALISM, GENEROSITY,
HUMAN WORTH & DIGNITY, INTEGRITY, LEARNING,
RESPECT FOR OTHERS and RESPONSIBILITY.
WHEREAS: The Values Committee has organized the Fifth
Annual Community Values Week.
Now, therefore, the City of Chanhassen hereby proclaims the
week of February 18 - 24, 1996, to be
COMMUNITY VALUES WEEK
in the City of Chanhassen. As we continue to face the challenges
and opportunities of our society, I call on all citizens of the
City of Chanhassen to promote and model these eight values. The
City of Chanhassen's commitment and dedication to building a bright
future for all members, but especially the youth of this community,
remain top priorities.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto
set my hand this day of
in the year of our Lord one thousand
nine hundred and ninety -six.
Mayor
City of Chanhassen
