WHEREAS, the City of Bozeman has been enriched by the contributions
of its caregivers; and
WHEREAS, close to seven million Americans provide unpaid personal care
in the home for an older, chronically ill or disabled family
member or friend; and
WHEREAS, nearly 3/4 of disabled people living in the community rely
solely on friends and fami Iy for their care; and
WHEREAS, by providing care and assistance, these caregivers allow their
older relatives and spouses to continue living at home rather
than in a nursing home.
NOW THEREFORE, I, Alfred M. Stiff, Mayor of the City of Bozeman, do
hereby proclaim the week of November 19-25, 1989 as
"FAMILY CAREGIVERS WEEK"
in the City of Bozeman, in conjunction with the American Association of
Retired Persons, and urge our citizens to join in recognizing the con-
tributions of caregivers to all residents in our community.
SEA L IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have
hereunto set my hand and caused
the great seal of the City of
Bozeman, in the State of Montana, to
be affixed at Bozeman, Montana, this
20th day of November, in the year
of our Lord, One Thousand Nine
Hundred and Eighty-Nine.
