A RESOLUTION
1 Designating the week of April 22 through 28, 2001, as "Volunteer
2 Appreciation Week" in Pennsylvania.
3 WHEREAS, The demands of everyday life make it increasingly
4 difficult for people to find the time to volunteer; and
5 WHEREAS, Despite these demands, thousands of individuals
6 offer their services and time to various endeavors without
7 expectation of any personal remuneration other than the
8 satisfaction of knowing that they have helped others; and
9 WHEREAS, Pennsylvanians of every age, race, sex, national
10 origin and economic status volunteer in their communities every
11 day; and
12 WHEREAS, The untiring work and dedication of volunteers,
13 while certainly appreciated, too often goes without adequate
14 recognition of the valuable contributions volunteers make; and
15 WHEREAS, Every community in this Commonwealth has an unmet
16 need or task that one more volunteer can meet; therefore be it
17 RESOLVED, That the Senate recognize volunteers in this
1 Commonwealth by designating the week of April 22 through 28,
2 2001, as "Volunteer Appreciation Week" in Pennsylvania and urge
3 Pennsylvanians to honor volunteers by joining them in making a
4 difference.
