RESOLUTION NO. 8276
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF
AZUSA COMMENDING STEPHANIE WELLS FOR HONESTY IN
RETURNING FOUND PROPERTY.
WHEREAS, "Do Unto Others As You Would Have Them Do Unto
You." This golden rule has nrovided guidance since mankind sloughed
off the scales of selfish innocence, even though across the span of
years, there have been those who would strip and sell its gold; another,
more basic principle which is rarely obeyed is: "Do The Right Thing
Regardless Of The Consequences." Some have even sacrificed their lives
in obedience, as the roll of all who have perished in defense of loved
ones, land, country or religion will attest, and
WHEREAS, STEPHANIE WELLS, at the tender age of seven years
has discovered these principles in her life, when she found and returned
to its owner a large amount of. money. The fact that the owner thanked
her in a nerfunctory and off -handed manner, and offered no reward must
have given her reason to pause and wonder as to the apparently meaningless
honesty of her noble gesture. All, however, ended happily when she was
honored by her schoolmates, and through the newspaper medium by the community
at large. A valuable lesson has been restated here and should not be lost.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED, that the City Council of the City of Azusa,
as a collective spokesperson for the community at large, unites with all
who recognize the value of her actions, and commends
STEPHANIE WELLS
for her timely reminder that, indeed, honesty_ is the best policy; also,
that her selfless gesture has newly brought to mind the biblical
observation:
" ...............And a Child Shall Lead Them."
DASSED, APPROVED AND ADOPTED this 7th day of July, 1987.
