RE: "Proud To Care" during National Public Works Week May 21 —27, 2000
Dear THOMAS:
This year National Public Works Week will be celebrated May 21 —27, 2000. The theme
of"Proud To Care"is expressed as a tribute to the positive improvements public works
employees have made to our communities. In 1960,President Kennedy proclaimed that
National Public Works Week would serve as an annual reminder of the value that these
professionals contribute to our lives. Public Works professionals have been participating
in events and activities to increase public awareness and appreciation of the profession
ever since.
Join this celebration by acknowledging the men and women who perform so well in their
chosen profession by issuing a proclamation recognizing National Public Works Week.
Please mail an original copy of the proclamation to me at the address below so that your
proclamation will be proudly displayed for all to see at the APWA Annual Meeting and
Tradeshow April 25 —29, 2000. A sample proclamation has been enclosed for your
review.
During this week,there are also many activities and events you may implement to remind
the public that our work improves the quality of life for everyone in the community.
Other communities hold special community events to showcase the services provided
along with employees, others have held equipment rodeos and give away prizes to
employees or door prizes to the public. Ideas and suggestions are welcome as it may
assist your fellow public works directors. In the past, articles regarding the activities of
several cities have also been published in the APWA Florida Chapter Newsletter.
