PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, the week of July 11 -17, 2004 has been designated as a Week of Hope; and
WHEREAS, 400 plus youth and adult are coming to the greater Larimer County area to
volunteer a week of their summer with nonprofit agencies in Fort Collins, Colorado; and
WHEREAS, the motivation behind these volunteer actions is to develop a servant's heart
in all those who take part; and
WHEREAS, these youth and adults have come from church youth groups around the nation
to put their Christian faith in action; and
WHEREAS, the elderly, disabled, or impoverished individuals and families of our
community have basic needs they are often unable to meet and therefore look to area nonprofit
agencies to help meet these needs; and
WHEREAS, the nonprofit agencies in our community do incredible work everyday with
these local individuals and families, but often lack the volunteers needed to accomplish some of their
desired services; and
WHEREAS, the Group Workcamps program has worked with local agencies to bring these
groups together to give a Week of Hope to the people of the greater Larimer County Area.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ray Martinez, Mayor of the City of Fort Collins, do hereby
proclaim July 11-17, 2004, as a
WEEK OF HOPE
in the City of Fort Collins and urge the citizens of Fort Collins to honor and recognize those
agencies who help the less fortunate of our community and give some of their time, anytime of the
year, to help those in need.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and the seal of the City of Fort
Collins this 6th day of July, A. D. 2004.
Mayor
