WHEREAS, Bozeman letter carriers will collect non-perishable food donations along
their mail routes on Saturday, May 8, to help stock the local food bank
for the needy; and
WHEREAS, the program began in 1991 with a ten-city pilot food drive in which letter
carriers, on the same day, collect food and deliver it to food banks; and
WHEREAS, the U.S. Postal Service touches the lives of all residents of the Bozeman
area, and the postal facilities and operation act as a conduit for customers
to help others in the community; and
WHEREAS, through the efforts of the letter carriers and the generous donation of
food from homes along the carrier routes, help to those in need is
realized.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Alfred M. Stiff, Mayor of the City of Bozeman, do hereby
proclaim May 8, 1999 as

Saturday, May 8, 1999.
SEAL IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto
set my hand and caused the Great Seal

of our Lord One Thousand Nine Hundred
and Ninety-nine.
