WHEREAS,
WHEREAS,
kMERjEAS,
significant progress has been made in Ashland, Oregon
in the rehabilitation of handicapped citizens so that
they can experience the satisfaction of gainful employ-
ment and personal independence; and
these same disabled people, when employed at a level
commensurate with their abilities, do return in tax
revenues many times the original amount spent on their
rehabilitation; and
all citizens have a responsibility to work for increased
opportunities for disabled persons in the areas of
employment, civic participation, cultural and recreational
activities;
NOW, THEREFORE, as Mayor, I do hereby proclaim May 4-10, 1980 as
"GOODWILL WEEK" in and for Ashland, Oregon. I urge that during
this week we renew our commitment to improved vocational opportuni-
ties and advancement for handicapped individuals, and that we
recognize and support the efforts of Southern Oregon Goodwill
Industries.
