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
St. Mark Youth Enrichment Education Committee and Board is dedicated to
furthering the total learning experience of all children they work with; and
St. Mark Youth Enrichment will again be leading the APPLES FOR STUDENTS
program in the Dubuque community during the months of July and August 2014.
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 nearly 21,000 bags of school supplies; and
local schools and human service agencies help St. Mark Youth Enrichment
identify the 1,400 children in grades K-5 who need school supplies this year, and
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, ROY D. BUOL, 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 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 be affixed this 21st day of July, 2014.
Roy D. Buol, Mayor
