Proclamation:

Whereas, All citizens want and deserve the opportunity to meaningfully participate in all aspects of our community, and our communities can grow closer through recognizing each other’s abilities, commonalities and differences; and

Whereas, Our communities gain value as they are more aware of the capabilities of, and provide opportunities for, individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities to be part of their communities; and,

Whereas, it is in the public’s interest for individuals with developmental and intellectual disabilities to live and work in our communities, exercising their full rights and responsibilities as citizens:

Now, Therefore, we the {Governing Body}, do hereby proclaim September, 2012, “Look Me in the Eye” month and encourage all citizens of our communities to participate in seeing, respecting and including one another.
