Whereas, the annual National Volunteer Week, a 34-year tradition, with a theme of "Inspire
by Example!", will be April 15-April 21, 2007; and,
Whereas, National Volunteer Week designates a special time to recognize and celebrate the
tremendous efforts of volunteers and is held to recognize and celebrate the efforts of
volunteers at the local, state and national levels; and,
Whereas, last year, nearly 90 million volunteers stepped forward to make our communities a
better place to live; and,
Whereas, thousands of volunteers give of their time, energy and expertise to Orange County
and other organizations to provide needed services to County residents; and,
Whereas, volunteers have greatly contributed to the enrichment of our communities to help
make Orange County a better place to live; and,
Whereas, volunteers are an invaluable asset to Orange County departments and agencies
and their service contributes to the cost effectiveness and efficiency of government
operations; and,
Whereas, the involvement of volunteers has strengthened and reinforced the democratic
process by volunteers contributing their time to help address community challenges; and,
Whereas, during April, the Orange County Board of County Commissioners will show its
appreciation to its dedicated volunteers by presenting each with a gift;
Now, therefore, let it be resolved that the Orange County Board of Commissioners sincerely
thanks its volunteers for their community spirit, expertise, dedication and commitment to the
