Resolution relative to the City of Milwaukee's 2001 UPAF/Visions campaign and the inclusion of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and the Wisconsin Lake Schooner Education Association as participating Visions organizations/donation recipients. (Forestry)
Analysis
This resolution recognizes the importance of the UPAF/Visions campaign and encourages support by City of Milwaukee employees. It further authorizes the inclusion of the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and the Wisconsin Lake Schooner Education Association as participating Visions organizations/donation recipients in the City of Milwaukee's 2001 UPAF/Visions campaign.
Body
Whereas, The annual UPAF/Visions campaign offers City of Milwaukee employees an opportunity to provide financial support to local arts groups and educational, cultural, environmental and recreational programs; and
Whereas, In 2000 UPAF gifts supported 21 local arts groups, while city employees could designate their Visions donations for support of one or more of the following: The Milwaukee Public Library Foundation, Friends of the Pabst Theater, Milwaukee Recreation Fund, Milwaukee Urban Forestry Fund, Milwaukee Art Museum, Milwaukee Public Museum, and the Milwaukee Arts Board; and
Whereas, Like the 2000 Visions participants, the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and the Wisconsin Lake Schooner Education Association offer artistic and educational enrichment to all citizens of Milwaukee; and
Whereas, The Wisconsin Conservatory of Music, a nonprofit community school of music which provides music education and performance opportunities to aspiring professionals, as well as to children and adults who enjoy making music, and the Wisconsin Lake Schooner Education Association, a nonprofit organization dedicated to teaching young and old as well as at-risk and under-served citizens through maritime experience-based education opportunities using the Great Lakes as a theme and resource, desire to be added to the list of organizations participating in the UPAF/Visions campaign in 2001; now, therefore, be it
Resolved, By the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee, that the proper city officials are authorized and directed to take the actions necessary to ensure that the Wisconsin Conservatory of Music and the Wisconsin Lake Schooner Education Association are included as participating Visions organization/donation recipients in the 2001 UPAF/Visions campaign; and, be it
Further Resolved, That the Common Council of the City of Milwaukee encourages all city employees to support the UPAF/Visions campaign in its goals of improving the quality of this city's cultural life and environment.
