A resolution to declare June 2, 2012, as Service Day in the state of Michigan.
Whereas, The people of this state have a long history of caring community involvement that has touched countless lives over the years; and

Whereas, Several non-profit entities and religious institutions have expressed a desire to draw attention to the need for charitable involvement by coordinating a "Day of Service" in the state of Michigan; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That the members of this legislative body declare June 2, 2012, as Service Day in the state of Michigan. We urge citizens in every corner of our state to observe this occasion through community projects and acts of kindness toward others; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor.
