Whereas, The health and well-being of children is the responsibility of all and
not that of one person alone; and,
Whereas, The safety of our children is a significant concern for parents, community
leaders and health care providers; and,
Whereas, Environmental welfare for our children is of universal concern and
deserves the utmost attention; and,
Whereas, If started in childhood, proper health, safety and environmental habits
can be maintained for a lifetime, producing a valued member of society and thereby
providing significant enhancements to our way of life; and now therefore be
it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim May 15, 2004, as Kids Day America in Michigan, and I encourage
all citizens to dedicate this day to educating and teaching the importance of
health, safety and environmental issues affecting our communities.
