Title
Consider Resolution Proclaiming April 23rd through April 29th as Volunteer Week in Northfield.
Body
Action Requested:
The Northfield City Council is asked to consider the attached resolution proclaiming April 23- 29, 2017 as Volunteer Week in Northfield.
Summary:
National Volunteer Week is an opportunity to recognize and thank our volunteers who dedicate their time and talents to support the causes they hold dear to their heart in our community. National Volunteer Week was established in 1974 and has grown each year with thousands of projects and special events.
Volunteers play a critical role in the success of our City operations. The City of Northfield will be recognizing the volunteers that serve on our Boards and Commissions the evening of April 26. This first Board and Commission Recognition Program will provide an opportunity to say “thank you” to those who play a critical role in providing guidance to staff and Council on our policies, procedures and services. They fill the gap by carrying the institutional knowledge, maintaining momentum and building in previous success and managing new initiatives.
The proposed resolution Proclaiming April 23rd through April 29th as Volunteer Week in Northfield is a statement of support and appreciation of these important volunteers.
