AI.I~L;RT lt. QUIF. <br /> (iOVI:RNOR <br /> <br />March 14, 1980 <br /> <br />Dear Mayor: <br /> <br />As in past years, we are writing to inform you that the Governor will be pro- <br />claiming the week of April 20-26, 1980 as "Volunteer Recognition Week" in <br />Minnesota. These dates, which coincide with National Volunteer Recognition <br />Week, will be set aside by Governor Quie as a time to recognize and honor <br />Minnesota's many fine volunteers. <br /> <br />We are hoping that you, in your role as a community leader, will contribute <br />to this effort by recognizing individuals who volunteer in city services; by <br />participating in the volunteer recognition events of other local organizations; <br />and by proclaiming the dates of April 20-26, 1980 as "Volunteer Recognition <br />Week" in your city. We feel that it is very important to volunteers and vol- <br />unteerism to receive this recognition and visibility. <br /> <br />During this week, many agencies and organizations will be paying tribute to <br />their volunteers. "Volunteer Recognition Week" not only affords volunteer <br />programs and community leaders the opportunity to salute their volunteers, but <br />also to carry the word of their achievements to the entire community. This, <br />in turn, encourages greater citizen involvement to meet the community's needs <br />by drawing attention to the opportunities and rewards of volunteer servic6s. <br /> <br />If you would like, the Governor's Office of Volunteer Services can provide you <br />with sample "Volunteer Recognition Week" proclamations. In addition, we have <br />several resources to assist in local recognition efforts. Enclosed is a list <br />of those materials and an accompanying order form. There is no charge for <br />these items, however, quantities are limited. <br /> <br />If you have any questions, or if we can be of further assistance, please do <br />not hesitate to contact us by writing to the Governor's Office of Volunteer <br />Services, 130 State Capitol, St. Paul, MN 55155, or by calling 296-4731. <br />Outside the metro area, use our toll free number 1/800/652-9747 and ask the <br />operator for our office. <br /> <br />Thank you for your assistance in this important event. <br /> <br />LLG:pa <br />Enclosures <br /> <br />Sincerely, <br /> <br />Laura Lee M. Geraghty, Director <br />Governor's Office of Volunteer Services <br /> <br />AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY EMPLOYER <br /> .~ <br /> <br /> <br />
