HomeMy WebLinkAboutItem 06 Nickelodeon Worldwide Day of Play Proclamation
Proclaimed to the citizens of Springfield, Oregon
Whereas, on behalf of the citizens of Springfield, Oregon, I join Nickelodeon, Boys & Girls Clubs
of America, President’s Council on Fitness, Sports & Nutrition, and National Park Foundation in
celebrating Worldwide Day of Play and in ensuring that today’s generation of kids becomes one
of the healthiest; and
Whereas, part of Nickelodeon’s international, grassroots effort is to get kids more physically
active and to encourage positive, healthy, and playful lifestyles across the globe, thus
Worldwide Day of Play is a fun event to empower our youth; and
Whereas, the rates of childhood obesity continue to rise at alarming rates; and
Whereas, today’s children and adults don’t get as much physical activity as they should; and
Whereas, nutritious diets and physical activity are an important component to living a healthy
lifestyle and reducing disease; and
Whereas, Springfield, Oregon is committed to working to support kids in becoming the
healthiest generation.
NOW, THEREFORE, be it resolved, that I, Christine L. Lundberg, Mayor of Springfield do
hereby proclaim October 1, 2012 to be Worldwide Day of Play in Springfield, Oregon.
IN OBSERVANCE THEREOF, I call upon the good people of Springfield, Oregon to join me in
recognizing all those associated with making this endeavor a reality, and wishing them all the
very best in the future.
