Whereas, We recognizes the 2-1-1 service as a valued community asset and are grateful to the dedicated community care advocates at 2-1-1 for their efficient, effective, and compassionate response to the growing needs of residents; and
Whereas, Coinciding with February 11th (2-11), this month is appropriate for recognition of the beneficial services available to Michigan taxpayers through 2-1-1; now, therefore, be it
