Proclamation Apples for Student
WHEREAS, 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 Center’s 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 during
June and July 2003. 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 the St.
Mark Community Center identify the 1000 children who need school
supplies this year, and
WHEREAS, the St. Mark Community Center is inviting the people of Dubuque to
donate money to this program so they can purchase the school
supplies in bulk and serve more children than they usually do.
NOW THEREFORE, I, TERRANCE M. DUGGAN, MAYOR OF THE CITY OF
DUBUQUE, IOWA, DO HEREBY PROCLAIM THAT THE MONTHS OF JUNE AND
JULY BE DESIGNATED FOR THE COLLECTION OF MONEY TO BUY BASIC
SCHOOL SUPPLIES FOR NEEDY FAMILIES IN THE CITY OF DUBUQUE. I
SUPPORT ST. MARK COMMUNITY CENTER IN THEIR EFFORT OF HELPING OUR
CHILDREN AND ALSO URGE THE PEOPLE OF DUBUQUE TO PARTICIPATE IN
THIS WORTHWHILE PROJECT.
IN WITNESS THEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused the
Great Seal of the City of Dubuque, IA
to be affixed this 16th day of June,
2003.
