Dear Mayor Campbell,

Volunteer Bureau respectfully requests your support
and signature to a proclamation declaring the week
of April 25 - 30, 1977 as VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION WEEK,

The Board of Directors of the Greater Coquitlam |

I am sure you are aware of the many hours contributed by
volunteers in their efforts to enhance the quality of
life in our city. This proclamation would be an

; excellent opportunity to thank them and publicly
acknowledge their active involvement.

i We are asking agencies to plan recognition of their
‘ . volunteers during this week, and local libraries to
i feature displays on volunteer programs. The Mayors
; of other cities and municipalities are being asked to

; sign this declaration.

. The week of April 25 - 30 is being promoted as Volunteer
Week through the media by the National Centre of
Voluntary Action, an American Association. The Canadian

_ counterpart, the Association of Canadian Volunteer
Bureaus, is in the developing stages and, in future, will
be assuming this responsibility themselves.

For this reason we have chosen April 25 -—- 30 as
VOLUNTEER RECOGNITION WEEK.

Sincerely yours,

oe . \aaitls Mowsey
