Subject: National Volunteer Week , April 21-27 1996
April 21-27 is the observance of the National Volunteer Week. Each year volunteers give
significant service to the City of Azusa. They are involved in programs throughout the
City, including the Senior Center , Library , Police Department and recreation programs.
Without the hundreds of hours provided by these volunteers, the City would not be able
to provide many worthwhile services for the community. In order to demonstrate the
City's appreciation for our valued volunteers, it is the staff request that a proclamation be
presented to the representative of the many volunteers serving the City. As a part of
activities for this week, on April 25, there will be a recognition dinner at the Azusa Senior
Center to celebrate and show our appreciation to our volunteers. A copy of the
Proclamation is attached.
Please join us in thanking our Volunteers on April 25.

17) E7ZEAS, The true measure of a nation's greatness and stature in the world community,
is the extent of participation, commitment and cooperation of its citizens:
expressed by readiness to supply unstinted voluntary assistance in whatever
their country needs, volunteers are a rich resource all too often taken for
granted, because they are so often utilized but not publicized, as individuals
who have unselfishly given of themselves without material compensation,
working for the common good,and
1I7J iRE.AS, Despite the fact that our world is becoming more and more fragmented, where
objectives and concerns are becoming narrower,we in this nation arefortunate
to have recourse to those who stand ready tovolunteer;if we ever lose those of
our population mho see the greater good for the nation as a labor of love, we
shall be but a short distance to disaster. for this reason we should, at every
opportunity such as this,publicly recognite and commend this key part of our
national body.
