Proclamation

Acknowledging Senior Center Volunteers

 

Whereas, this week has been designated as National Volunteer Week; and

 

Whereas the entire community can inspire, equip and mobilize people to take action that changes the world; and

 

Whereas, volunteers can connect with local community service opportunities through many organizations; and                                                                                                                                               

 

Whereas, volunteers working at the Senior Center have been instrumental in the success of many programs and services; and

 

Whereas, during this week, all over the nation, service projects will be performed and volunteers recognized for their commitment to service; and

 

Whereas, the giving of oneself in service to another empowers the giver and the recipient; and

 

Whereas, experience teaches us that government by itself cannot solve all of our nation’s social problems; and

 

Whereas, volunteers are vital to our future as a caring and productive community; and

 

Whereas, the Mansfield Town Council wishes to publically recognize your invaluable work.

 

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that I, Elizabeth C. Paterson, Mayor of Mansfield, Connecticut, do hereby issue this proclamation in recognition of your dedicated service to the Town of Mansfield.

 

IN TESTIMONY WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the seal of the Town of Mansfield this 16^th day of April 2008.

 

Elizabeth C. Paterson

Mayor, Town of Mansfield
