Whereas, The broadcasters in the State of Michigan have a long history of community
service stemming back to the 1920’s when the first Michigan radio station
went on the air; and
Whereas, Free over-the-air broadcasting is one of our nations finest resources
available in every corner of our state delivering vital information, civil emergency
messages and warnings, entertainment and joy to Michigan citizens; and
Whereas, Michigan’s Broadcasters have provided millions of dollars in
community service during the past year; and
Whereas, The State of Michigan recognizes these community services and honors
Michigan’s Broadcasters for their commitment to the State of Michigan
and their local communities through their extensive service involvement; and
now therefore be it
Resolved, That the week of February 17, 2003, be known as Michigan Broadcasting
Community Service Appreciation Week.
