PROCLAMATION
Whereas, Aviation has provided invaluable services to our community since the
early part of the 20th century and will be central to the premier aviation
event in Iowa, held this month in Iowa City; and
Whereas, Aviation touches the lives of people of all ages and backgrounds
through transportation, education, science, engineering and personal
interest; and
Whereas, Aviation is key to our local health care industry and emergency live
care services; and
Whereas, the economic impact of Aviation to Johnson County is in excess of
$11.1 million dollars annually; and
Whereas, it is fitting that we recognize the industry because it touches us.
Now, therefore, I, Ernest W, Lehman, Mayor of the City of Iowa City,
Iowa, do hereby proclaim the week of August 20 through August 26, to
be
Aviation Week
in Iowa City and invite all citizens to recognize the value of aviation in our
community and celebrate by participating in Fly Iowa 2001 -- the premier aviation
event in Iowa - on August 25 and 26 at the Iowa City Airport.
Signed in Iowa City, Iowa,
this 21st day of August, 2001. -
