Literacy Challenge Committee <br /> National Family Literacy Day <br /> Whereas, as many as 44 million adults in this country cannot read at a level necessary <br /> to succeed in today's society; and <br /> Whereas, families, neighbors, and volunteers in these United States must unite in <br /> promoting literacy and help those with significant literacy needs to learn to <br /> read and gain independence by becoming literate; and <br /> Whereas, when individuals learn to read, they enable themselves and their families to <br /> gain self respect and confidence, and to reach life goals that otherwise would <br /> not have been obtainable; and <br /> Whereas, the tireless efforts of the Daughters of the American Revolution (DAR) <br /> members of the Colorado Chapter of the National Society of the Daughters of <br /> the American Revolution are contributing to the success of literacy programs; <br /> and <br /> Whereas, the task will not be completed until all who have significant literacy needs are <br /> given an opportunity to learn to read and this can be accomplished if <br /> communities and organizations across the Nation agree to meet the Literacy <br /> Challenge and to promote and observe National Family Literacy Day on <br /> November 1, 2006. <br /> Now, therefore, I, Mayor Charles L. Sisk, along with the Louisville City Council do <br /> hereby proclaim Wednesday, November 1, 2006 as National Family Literacy Day in <br /> Louisville and encourage all citizens to promote literacy in our community. <br /> Date t 's 8th day f November, 2006 <br /> Mayor Charles L.
