CITY OF YAKIMA
P R O C L A M A T I O N
WHEREAS, September 17, 2022, marks the two hundred thirty-fifth
anniversary of the drafting of the Constitution of the United States of America by
the Constitutional Convention; and
WHEREAS, it is fitting and proper to accord official recognition to this
magnificent document and its memorable anniversary, and to the patriotic
celebrations which will commemorate the occasion; and
WHEREAS, Public Law 915 guarantees the issuing of a proclamation each
year by the President of the United States of America designating September 17
through 23 as Constitution Week; and
WHEREAS, the Yakima City Council encourages the residents of the City
of Yakima to study the Constitution and reflect on the privilege of being an
American with all the rights and responsibilities which that privilege involves.
NOW THEREFORE, I, Janice Deccio, Mayor of the City of Yakima and
on behalf of the City Council, do hereby proclaim the week of September 17 through
23, 2022 as
“CONSTITUTION WEEK”
and ask our citizens to reaffirm the ideals the Framers of the Constitution had in
1787 by vigilantly protecting the freedoms guaranteed to us through this guardian
of our liberties, remembering that lost right may never be regained.
Dated this 20th day of September, 2022
Janice Deccio, Mayor
