WHEREAS, since 1988 St. Mark Youth Enrichment has existed to work with the families of Dubuque
meet some of the unmet needs of their children; and
WHEREAS, St. Mark Youth Enrichment Staff, Committees and Board are dedicated to furthering the
total learning experience of all children they work with; and
WHEREAS, St. Mark Youth Enrichment will again be leading the APPLES FOR STUDENTS, Fill the
Bag program in the Dubuque community during the months of May, June & July. This
program collects money to buy basic school supplies for children of families who need
help purchasing them. To date St. Mark Youth Enrichment has given out over 45,000
bags of school supplies; and
WHEREAS local schools and human service agencies help St. Mark Youth Enrichment identify the
3,500 children in grades K-12 who need school supplies this year, and
WHEREAS, St. Mark Youth Enrichment invites the people of Dubuque to donate money to this
program so school supplies can be purchased in bulk from local merchants and serve
more children than they usually do.
NOW THEREFORE, I, BRAD CAVANAGH, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF DUBUQUE, IOWA, DO
HEREBY PROCLAIM THAT THE MONTHS OF MAY, JUNE AND JULY BE DESIGNATED FOR THE
COLLECTION OF MONEY TO BUY BASIC SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR NEEDY CHILDREN IN THE
CITY OF DUBUQUE, AND URGE THE PEOPLE OF DUBUQUE TO PARTICIPATE IN THIS
WORTHWHILE PROJECT BY SUPPORTING ST. MARK YOUTH ENRICHMENT IN THEIR EFFORT
TOWARD HELPING OUR CHILDREN.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand
and caused the Great Seal of the City of Dubuque to
