A. <br />Information <br />Meeting Date: November 5, 2012 XX Action Item <br />Consent Agenda <br />SUBJECT Proclamation for Farm -City Week <br />DEPARTMENT North Carolina Cooperative Extension, Lee County Center <br />CONTACT PERSON Susan Condlin, County Extension Director <br />REQUEST Michelle Sellers from the Barn Buster 4 -H Club and Farm -City <br />Week Chairman David Patterson will appear before the Board to present the Farm -City <br />Proclamation and Farm -City Week activities. <br />SUMMARY As our society becomes more urban, fewer Americans ever <br />see the connection between the foods they eat, the clothing they wear and the farms <br />where the food and fiber products are grown. Every day we benefit from the American <br />farmer. Their harvest provides food and fiber for this nation and for other countries <br />around the world. In recognition of the importance of agriculture, we request the Lee <br />County Board of Commissioners, Broadway Commissioners and Sanford City Council <br />proclaim November 16 -22, 2012 as Farm -City Week and invite our elected officials to <br />participate in the many activities which highlight Lee County Agriculture. The local <br />observance is co- sponsored by North Carolina Cooperative Extension and Kiwanis Club <br />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 Read and approve Proclamation for Farm -City Week as <br />presented <br />
