WHEREAS, Throughout Qur nation's history, individual Americans have voluntarily
joined together to meet important needs in their communities. This generosity, this willingness to
work together toward a common goal, is a hallmark of the American character; and
WHEREAS, Today, private voluntary associations across the country make substantial
contributions to our nation's wellbeing in areas such as health care and social services, education
and the arts, economic development, and environmental protection. Many of these associations
are Community Foundations - charitable organizations formed to attract and distribute
endowment funds; and
WHEREAS, Directed by volunteers, Community Foundations provide effective
leadership in communities throughout the United States, often supplementing or assisting in the
coordination of public programs and other private services. They are one of the fastest growing
forms of philanthropy in the United States; and
WHEREAS, In grateful recognition of Community Foundations and the concerned
individuals who donate their time, talent and material resources to them, Jefferson County in
concert with communities across the Nation hereby designates November 12 through IS, 2010,
as "Jefferson County Community Foundation Week";
