the Volunteers of America, a Christian human service
organization, is celebrating its 98th year of service to the
people of Minnesota and the nation; it is therefore certainly
appropriate for us, the City of Arden Hills, to join in the
observance of this milestone with the commemoration of March 6-
13, 1994 as Volunteers of America Week; and,
the Volunteers of America is making a valuable contribution by
providing these services to adults and the elderly: 6 homes for
mentally disabled, mentally ill, chemically dependent and/or
elderly adults; congregate dining for seniors at 45 sites in
Anoka and Hennepin Counties; home delivered meals for persons 60
years of age and over; semi-independent living services and
supported living services; 3 housing complexes for families, the
handicapped, and the elderly; and 4 long-term health care
facilities; and
the Volunteers of America provides these services for children
and youth: 5 programs serving autistic, autistic-like, and/or
developmentally disabled children and youth; a children's
emergency shelter; in-home services; S2 foster treatment homes
and correction group homes; a residential treatment center for
emotionally handicapped boys; a specialized behavioral program
for boys with severe problems; short-term after care for youth
with special needs; and,
the Volunteers of America provides 2 correctional services: a
pre-release and work-release correctional program serving men;
and a women's jaill workhouse and work-release correctional
program; and,
the Volunteers of America, through its dedicated staff and
volunteers and the many people who help support their work
through financial contributions make an impact on the lives of
people in this area; and,
the Volunteers of America is commemorating its founding in 1896
and urges others to join them in bridging the gap between human
needs and the resources of the public and private sector;
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED I, Thomas Sather, Mayor of the City of Arden
Hills, do hereby proclaim the week of March 6-13, 1994 as "VOLUNTEERS OF
AMERICA WEEK IN ARDEN HILLS"
AND, BE IT RESOLVED, that copies of this proclamation be transmitted to the
Volunteers of America as evidence of our esteem.
