WHEREAS, |
America is blessed with millions of individuals of good will
and good works who play significant roles in bringing positive change to
the lives of others through volunteerism; and |
WHEREAS, |
South Carolina's volunteers uphold the highest standards of
civic duty, donating their time, energy, and talents to helping those in
need; and |
WHEREAS, |
volunteers across the Palmetto State enhance our quality of life through their selfless service, including working to provide food and shelter for the needy,
spending time with patients in hospitals, and safeguarding the health and
well-being of our young people; and |
WHEREAS, |
the annual observance of National Volunteer Week offers a
chance to thank the many volunteers throughout South Carolina and the nation
whose work and compassion add so much to the quality of our lives while
giving those who have never volunteered the opportunity to learn more about
the many organizations that would benefit from their time and talents. |
|
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Mark Sanford, Governor of the Great State of South Carolina, do hereby proclaim April 2010 as VOLUNTEER MONTH and April 18 - 24, 2010, as VOLUNTEER WEEK throughout the state and encourage all South Carolinians to express appreciation to volunteers across the state for their commitment to service and to help promote the spirit of volunteerism in our families and communities. |
