"NATIONAL FRENCH WEEK"
NOVEMBER 8 -14, 2011
WHEREAS, education is the process by which one generation passes onto the next generation
both the knowledge of "how to learn" as well as a zest and passion for the joy of learning itself;
and
WHEREAS, the success of achieving these lofty goals is mankind's insurance policy for the
future; and
WHEREAS, in the study of foreign languages people have an immediate bridge to international
understanding and cooperation; and
WHEREAS, the study of the French language by generations of American youth has fostered
greater understanding and an appreciation for the people and cultures of France and the French -
speaking world; and
WHEREAS, this study will continue to bridge the miles that separate the students of the United
States with those regions of the French - speaking world; and
WHEREAS, since 2000, the Village of Mount Prospect has enjoyed a Sister City relationship
with Sevres, France, the primary purpose of which is to create an exchange between the people
of both communities to create an understanding of each others culture.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Irvana K. Wilks, Mayor of the Village of Mount Prospect, do hereby
proclaim the week of November 8 -14, 2011 as
"NATIONAL FRENCH WEEK"
