Whereas, The health and well-being of children is all of our responsibility;
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 habit
can be maintained for a lifetime, producing a valued member of society and enhancing
our society; and now therefore be it,
Resolved, That I, Jennifer M. Granholm, Governor of the State of Michigan,
do hereby proclaim May 17, 2003, as Kids Day America in Michigan, and I encourage
all citizens to dedicate this day to education of the importance of health,
safety and environmental issues affecting our communities.
