PROCLAMATION
NATIONAL VOLUNTEER WEEK
April 21 -27, 2013
"Celebrating People in Action"
Whereas, the entire community can inspire, equip and mobilize people to take action that
changes the world; and
Whereas, volunteers can connect with local community service opportunities through hundreds
of community service organizations and volunteer centers; and
Whereas, individuals and communities are at the center of social change, discovering their
power to make a difference; and
Whereas, during this week all over the nation, service projects will be performed and
volunteers recognized for the commitment to service; and
Whereas, the giving of oneself in service to another empowers the giver and the recipient; and
Whereas, experience teaches us that government by itself cannot solve all of our nation's
social problems; and
Whereas, our country's volunteer force of over 63 million is a great treasure; and
Whereas, volunteers are vital to our future as a caring and productive nation; then
Now, Therefore, Be It Resolved, that the Pittsylvania County Board of Supervisors proclaims
the week of April 21s` — 27m, 2013 to be National Volunteer Week in Pittsylvania County,
Virginia, in honor of the citizens who dedicate themselves to taking action and solving
problems in the communities within Pittsylvania County.
Given under my hand this day 19`h day of March, 2013.
