Recognizing The National Union of American Families for its Diligence in Strengthening Families and Communities.
Body
WHEREAS, The City Council of the City of Philadelphia is honored to recognize the National Union of American Families (NUAF) for its dedicated mission in uplifting the American Family; and
WHEREAS, The NUAF was founded to strengthen families by serving as a conduit to all agencies and institutions that have an effect on the quality of family life; and
WHEREAS, NUAF’s mission is to establish economic, educational, and social opportunity and create political power for the American family through the organization of communities and the promotion of civic participation; and
WHEREAS, In the spirit of stewardship, NUAF seeks to foster friendships among families, develop team spirit for success, invite collective discussion for collective action, fight for right, act decisively, wisely, and promptly and to discourage bickering and two-bit politics; and
WHEREAS, NUAF seeks to establish interdependent neighborhood unions of families working together at the community, state and local level to impact the political, social, educational, economic forces, and entities that affect our quality of life; and
WHEREAS, Residents within a community often adopt apathetic dispositions, as they are caught up and distracted by feelings of hopelessness; NUAF is striving to help change these attitudes into positive social change by strengthening parental involvement in the nation’s schools and enhancing many aspects of community and family life; and
WHEREAS, It is fitting and proper that the City Council of the City of Philadelphia recognize those truly exemplary organizations and their individual members, who have given unselfishly of themselves, their time, and their talents to perpetuate the public good; and
WHEREAS, NUAF is one such exemplary organization that is deserving of praise and commendation for its many efforts in bringing about a positive change in today’s society; now therefore
RESOLVED, THAT THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF PHILADELPHIA, Does hereby applaud and commend the National Union of American Families for its diligence in strengthening family and community values.
