SUMMARY STATEMENT:
National Volunteer Week began in 1974 as a way to recognize and celebrate the efforts of volunteers. Since then, the original emphasis on celebration has widened; the week has become
a nationwide effort to urge people to get out and volunteer in their communities. Every April, charities and communities reinforce the week’s official theme (“United We Serve”) by recognizing
volunteers and fostering a culture of service.
President Richard Nixon established National Volunteer Week with an executive order in 1974. Every sitting U.S. president since Nixon has issued a proclamation during National Volunteer
Week, as have many U.S. mayors and governors, urging Americans to give their time to community outreach organizations.
The City of McCall would like to recognize its many volunteers that serve on the City’s Committees, Commissions, and Boards. These volunteers are a representative group of stakeholders
from a particular segment of the community appointed to provide comments and advice on city projects or issues. The City of McCall has standing 2 Boards, 3 Commissions, and 8 Advisory
Committees which have a total of 72 volunteers who serve from our community. The City is having a Volunteer Appreciation event on April 12th to honor all the city’s many volunteers.
The Proclamation and a list of our Committees and volunteers are attached.
RECOMMENDED ACTION:
Proclaim April 16-22, 2023 As Volunteer Week in the City of McCall and authorize the Mayor to sign the proclamation.
