Proclamation Apples for StudentWHEREAS, since 1989 St. Mark Community Center has existed to work with the
families of Dubuque meet some of the unmet needs of their children;
and
WHEREAS, the St. Mark Community Centers Education Committee is dedicated to
==
furthering the total learning experience of all children they work with;
and
WHEREAS, St. Mark Community Center will again be doing the APPLES FOR
STUDENTS program in the Dubuque community this summer between
July 2 and July 23, 2001. This program collects basic school supplies
for children of families who need help purchasing them; and
WHEREAS, the local schools and human service agencies have helped St. Mark
Community Center identify the 600 to 700 children who need school
supplies this year - and we expect the number to go higher because of
the recent layoffs in Dubuque; and
==
WHEREAS, the St. Mark Community Center is inviting the people of Dubuque to
help in this program by giving $15.00 (cash/check) to sponsor a needy
child. This year the Center is collecting money instead of supplies so
they can buy bulk and help more children for less money.

IOWA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THE COLLECTION OF SCHOOL SUPPLIES FROM
JULY 2 TO JULY 27 A IN THE CITY OF DUBUQUE AND I SUPPORT ST. MARK
