In this year of the Bicentennial of the signing of the Constitution, it is fitting that we celebrate our heritaae of freedom under law that was granted by this national charter. In 1787, the United States was a nation of 13 sovereign states, independent of each other, aligned along the eastern seaboard, from New Hampshire to Georgia. They were the United States in name only, barely held together by the Articles of Confederation. Only six years after the War of Independence, the new experiment in democracy was in danger of collapse. Most of the states had their own armies, printed their own currencies, and charged tarrifs to other states for using their ports and roads. A Convention was called in Philadelphia, for the sole purpose of making revisions to the Articles. But national leaders like Madison, Hamilton and Franklin feared that unless a strong central government was created, the country would fall apatt, forming independent republics, or coming under the control of foreign powers once again. Despite the odds against success, the writers of the Constitution were able to reach compromise after compromise, until they fashioned a blueprint for a new government - -a government of the people. In the 200 years since that Convention, WE THE PEOPLE have been fine tuning that concept of republican government. Today, our Constitution is the oldest written instrument of national government in the world. We will be celebrating the Bicentennial of the Constitution's signing on September 17, 1987, and the establishment of the new government under the Constitution in later years, through the commemoration of the ratification of the Bill of Rights in 1991. All Americans can participate in this celebration on September 16, during A CELEBRATION OF CITIZENHIP. On this day, millions of students, across the country and in American schools abroad, will learn about the blessings of liberty bestowed by our Constitution. All Americans can join our youth in recognizing and honoring the rights and responsibilities of citizenship. At 1 P.M., E.D.T., a NOW, THEREFORE, I Allan R. Nottingham, Mayor of the Town of Avon, Colorado, do hereby proclaim September 16, 1987 as A CELEBRATION OF CITIZENSHIP DAY in the Town of Avon, and urge all citizens to take part in this once -in -a- lifetime celebration of our heritage.

This program is, in fact, the only known program of its kind in the nation in that it combines public and private sector initiatives for the promotion of local products and services. Because the ABC organization has proven to be an effective and necessary program, Governor Roy Romer will declare April "ABC- Always Buy Colorado" Month. As part of the celebration, an ABC- Always Buy Colorado Fair will be held April 24 -26, 1987 at Currigan Hall in Denver to raise awareness and encourage consumption of Colorado products and services. I would like the Always Buy Colorado Fair to be a statewide event. Therefore, as the Honorary Chairman of ABC, I am inviting every mayor in Colorado to join in the celebration by issuing a mayoral proclamation making April "Always Buy Colorado" Month in their communities. I am asking you and your fellow county commissioners to take similar action by issuing a statement of intent declaring April "Always Buy Colorado" Month in your county. Your cooperation will be deeply appreciated. The entire state will benefit from Always Buy Colorado's efforts.

ADOPTED AND APPROVED this 26th day of April, 1988. TOWN COUNCIL TOWN F AVON, C ORADO Ste e M. Miller, Mayor Pro Tem ATT T R r Office of Special Adviser to the President for Consumer Affairs Washington, D.C. 20201 March 22, 1988 Dear Mayor: The seventh annual National Consumers Week (NCW) is scheduled for April 24 -30, 1988. It is the week President Reagan sets aside each year to highlight the importance of consumer rights, education and protection and the vital role that consumers have in the economic health of our nation. I enclose the complete text of the President's official 1988 National Consumers Week proclamation for your reference. I hope you will join in this consumer event by issuing an appropriate proclamation of your own. This year the NCW theme is "Consumers Buy Service." Our message is that consumers appreciate good service and businesses profit by paying attention to service. Whether the transaction involves goods, services, or both, quality of customer service is a crucial ingredient in the interaction between customer and business before, during and after the sale. In fact, customer service is emerging as a key competitive advantage today, not only in the domestic marketplace, but also in the expanding international arena. Businesses, consumer and community organizations, educators, trade associations, government agencies, labor unions, libraries and the media across the country have developed interesting and innovative activities for NCW over the years and we already know that many plan to be a part of this year's observance as well. I hope we can count on your support for NCW this year. If you do issue your own proclamation, please send a copy to me, so I can include it in my NCW report to the President. If you or your staff need additional information, please call Gina Ley Steiner at (202) 634 -4329. Sincerely, Vir 'nia H.

Our econ- omy is based on the premise that the consumer is the omnipotent force in our marketplace. When producers fail to acknowledge this premise, consumers have an obligation to society to reaffirm their rights." —Mel Zelenak, President, American Council on Consumer Interests 'With every transaction consumers should expect satisfac- tion with their goods and services. The measure of a success- ful company is directly related to this consumer satisfaction. SOCAP and its 1400 members are pledged to guarantee that 'Consumers Buy Service.' " —Don Franklin, President, Society of Consumer Affairs Professionals in Business "It has been verified in several studies, and in the experience that NACAA agencies have in common, that consumers do not believe a transaction ends at the point of sale. Con- sumers believe they have also bought a commitment that the seller will back up the products or services. Those businesses that are sensitive to these consumer expecta- tions generally thrive and prosper in the long run. Those businesses that do not believe that 'consumers buy service' are out of step with today's marketplace." —Barry Reid, President, National Association of Consumer Agency Administrators and Administrator, Georgia Governor's Office of Consumer Affairs 'A reputable investment firm never says: There are no risks' or Tomorrow will be too late.' Don't fall for dishonest claims or high - pressured selling tactics. Study the firm. Ask ques- tions. Understand that as an investor, you have many rights. As a service to yourself, shop around for an investment firm that respects these rights." —Robert K. Wilmouth, President, National Futures Association 'The intensely competitive global marketplace in which Ameri- can companies find themselves has begun to sensitize management to the urgency of responsiveness to customers. National Consumers Week provides an ideal opportunity for all types of organizations to improve service to their customers and constituents." — Virginia H.

BOX 1559 / 12,305 E. 214th ST. / HAWAIIAN GARI)ENS, CA 90716 August 1, 1989 The Honorable Mayor: Several Colorado corporations are sponsnring William "Walking Willie" Croker in a 600 mile walk across the state to raise public awareness of the need for early canccer detection. This is not a fundraiser. We will not solicit or accept public donation on this walk. "Walking Willie" has a very simple message for the citizens of Colorado and your city, that the cure rate for cancer is very high if caught in its early states. Get a cancer check -up. Willie is a world class endurance walker, who walks to create publicity in order to get his message to the people through the media. On April 21, 1989, at the conclusion of a 66 day 3300 mile walk from Seal Beach, California to Washington, D.C., he met with President George Bush in the oval office. This was his second coast to coast walk in three years. His determination to fight cancer is not motivated by money, but the loss of his parents and sister to this disease. In each case, there death would have been prevented through early detection. Our organization, the Cancer Awareness Foundation, believe that the millions of dollars that are spent each year in the fight against cancer are important, but no amount of money will do more for you and your family then the time you spend each year getting a cancer check -up. We will be walking through only forty of the 264 cities in the state. In order for our efforts to be statewide we are asking your help and support. The walk will start in Grand Junction August 26, 1989, and end at the Governor's Office Septemner 16, 1989. (Map Enclosed) I am asking your help as one Mayor to another. We would also like a Mayor's proclamation or letter from your city supporting our cause. This should be sent to "Walking Willie" in care of the Governor's Office in Denver. They will be presented to Willie at the ceremonies at the end of the walk. We would like a committment, that a Cancer Detection Health Fair will be held in your community in the near future, offering free or low cost cancer testing. We have found that a Health Fair, held in a shopping center with the volunteer help of your local medical people is an excellent way to help a large group of people. A NON PROFIT CORPORATION The Honorable Mayor Page 2 of 2 You will be surprised how many people will volunteer to help in this effort. The lives of three out of four people are affected by cancer. Their own family, friends or relative. They will help. Somewhere in your city there is a person or organization willing to undertake the task of a Health Fair. Find them. I also have a personal request. I am the Mayor of the smallest City, by area, in the State of California. If yourcity has a lapel pin or button, would you send me one? We have in the lobby of City Hall a pin board and I would like to add your City to our collection. Thank you for your consideration and help. Your success will be measured in lives saved.

The U.S. Office of Consumer Affairs coordinates the observance of NCW, the week set aside to create an awareness of the importance of the consumer in the economy, to encourage an examination of consumer problems, and to offer an occasion for organizations to highlight their new and existing consumer programs. I urge you to join in this event by issuing an appropriate NCW proclamation of your own and I am enclosing a sample NCW proclamation and the official NCW brochure which describes NCW and how to participate. This year's NCW theme, "Consumers Open Markets," focuses attention on the power of consumer choice that shapes the markets of the world. Consumers cast their dollars as marketplace votes -- to strengthen efficient, reliable, and responsive organizations, and to encourage improvements in those which fail to meet consumer needs. Indeed, consumers play a vital role in keeping our markets open, competitive, and fair. Businesses, educators, community organizations, the media, government and consumer leaders across the nation have developed innovative activities for NCW over the past eight years and hundreds of organizations are making plans to be a part of this year's observance. If you do issue your own proclamation, please send a copy to me, so I can include it in the Final Report to The President. If you or your staff need additional information, please call my office on (202) 634 -4329. Sincerely Patricia A.
