Whereas, The Michigan Fraternal Congress is a non-profit organization of more
than 435,000 fraternalists from around Michigan who believe in the power of fraternalism
to address society’s most pressing needs; and,
Whereas, Through a commitment to volunteerism and public service shared by
its members, The Michigan Fraternal Congress works on behalf of the people of
Michigan by sponsoring community enrichment activities and programs and assisting
charitable organizations; and,
Whereas, The members of the Michigan Fraternal Congress will once again unite
Michigan’s many diverse fraternal societies for their annual Fraternal
Week and Join Hands Day by volunteering their time to clean up and improve the
Wayne County Family Shelter in Westland and other projects on behalf of those
most in need in Michigan; now, therefore be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim the week of June 15, 2003, as Fraternal Week and June 21,
2003, as Join Hands Day in Michigan, and I encourage all citizens to follow
the Michigan Fraternal Congress’s example of good will and recognize the
many contributions this organization has made on behalf of people in need and
