Every day we benefit from the American farmer. Their harvest provides <br />food and fiber for this nation and for other countries around the world. In recognition of the <br />importance of agriculture, the Lee County Board of Commissioners, Broadway Commissioners <br />and Sanford City Council is asked to proclaim November 17 -24, 2011 as Farm -City Week and <br />invite local elected officials to participate in the many activities which highlight Lee County <br />Agriculture. The local observance is co- sponsored by North Carolina Cooperative Extension and <br />Kiwanis Club of Sanford. <br />BUDGET IMPACT N/A <br />ATTACHMENT(S) (1) Farm -City Week Proclamation <br />(2) Local Events promotional Flyer <br />PUBLIC HEARING No <br />PRIOR BOARD ACTION N/A <br />RECOMMENDATION Approve Proclamation for Farm -City Week — November 17 -24, 2011 <br />as presented <br />
