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.
