| A Proclamation Designating April 7, 2015 as National Service Recognition Day ~ Cory Friedlan. |
| BACKGROUND: |
The nation’s mayors and county executives are increasingly turning to national service as a cost-effective strategy to address local challenges. By unleashing the power of citizens, AmeriCorps and Senior Corps programs have a positive and lasting impact – making our cities and counties better places to live. To spotlight the impact of national service and thank those who serve, mayors across the country will participate in the third-annual Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service on April 7, 2015.
On this day, mayors and county executives will hold public events and use traditional and social media to highlight the value of national service to the nation’s cities. Last year, 1,760 mayors representing more than 110 million citizens participated in the second-annual Mayors Day of Recognition for National Service. The initiative is being led by the Corporation for National and Community Service, the National League of Cities, and Cities of Service. |
| SUGGESTED MOTION: |
| Now Therefore, I, Louise Carter-King, Mayor of the City of Gillette, do hereby proclaim April 7, 2015, as National Service Recognition Day and encourage residents to recognize the positive impact of national service in our city; to thank those who serve; and find ways to give back to their communities. |
