 WHEREAS, the future of our state depends on the quality of life we are providing to Michigan's children today; and,

WHEREAS, as parents, teachers, lawmakers and community leaders, it is our responsibility to ensure our youth learn and grow in an environment that will help them become productive, capable and considerate adults; and,   

WHEREAS, during this month, we honor Michigan's children, recognizing the important role our youth play, and we commit to supporting a positive environment for our state's future leaders;  

NOW, THEREFORE, I, Rick Snyder, Governor of Michigan, do hereby proclaim April 2011 as Month of the Young Child in Michigan.
