PROCLAMATION
WHEREAS, ours is truly a "state of the hearts" where "neighbor
helping neighbor" is not a catch phrase but a way of life. Seventy
percent of North Carolina's citizens volunteer their time and talent to
help those in their communities who need assistance; and

after school, the rural farmer whose family's safety depends on the
local volunteer fire department and rescue squad, the illiterate adult
and millions more. Virtually every area of health care or community
service has been touched and improved by the hand of a volunteer; and
WHEREAS, to achieve the kind of society we want for ourselves and
our children, we must work together in a spirit of brotherhood and
cooperation. North Carolina's volunteers do this, dedicating their
Otime, talents, and efforts to build a better state for everyone.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Randolph County Board of Commissioners does
hereby proclaim April 17 through April 23, 1994, as "Volunteer Week in
Randolph County," and urge all our citizens to give of themselves as
volunteers in our County.
This is the 4th day of April, 1994.
