PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, since 1988 St. Mark Community Center has existed to work with the families of
Dubuque meet some of the unmet needs of their children; and

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 during the months of June and July, 2010.

who need help purchasing them. To date St. Mark Community Center has given

WHEREAS local schools and human service agencies help St. Mark Community Center
identify the 1,500 children who need school supplies this year, and
