Whereas, Music is a vital part of the culture of every civilized nation, and
the people of the United States are proving themselves to be a great music-producing
and music-loving nation; and,
Whereas, It is incumbent upon all of us to join together to advance the cause
of music; and,
Whereas, The week of May 2, 2004, marks the 80th Annual observance of National
Music Week; and,
Whereas, The pursuit of music, whether it be through study, composing, listening,
performing or participation, gives rich experience in human life; and,
Whereas, The National Federation of Music Clubs through National Music Week
provides an opportunity for the organized musical forces of the county, as well
as religious, educational and civic groups, to join music lovers in emphasizing
the joys and pleasures to be gained from making music; and now therefore be
it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim the week of May 2, 2004, as Music Week in Michigan.
