SPECIAL RESOLUTION
MOTION from Chairman Sloan to adopt the following resolution:
IREDELL COUNTY OBSERVES
NORTH CAROLINA LITERACY MONTH
September 1992
The non-reader in today's society faces overwhelming challenges that result in stress, monetary
loss, and a lower quality of life. Almost 40 percent of those age 16 and older in North Carolina
need some form of literacy education. For these individuals, simple daily activities become
difficult or impossible. Fortunately this condition can easily be remedied.
The North Carolina Press Association and the United States Postal Service, in cooperation with
the Governor's Office and the N. C. Council of Literacy, are sponsoring a special observance to
increase public awareness about the importance of literacy in our state.
Throughout the month of September, daily and weekly newspapers, television stations and radio
stations statewide will be offered the opportunity to join in publishing articles and running
stories that outline the economic and societal importance of literacy and encourage readers to
become involved in sharing the gift of reading with others.
NOW, THEREFORE, the Iredell County Board of Commissioners joins with the State of North
Carolina in proclaiming September 1992 as "North Carolina Literacy Month," and urges our Iredell
County citizens to learn more about the importance of literacy and how they can become part of the
solution.
