RESOLUTION NO. 2004-38
RESOLUTION RECOGNIZING ASHLEE KEPHART AS A DISTINGUISHED
FINALIST IN THE PRUDENTIAL SPIRIT OF COMMUNITY AWARDS
WHEREAS, Ashlee Kephart, a seventh-grader at North View Junior High school,
created a program called "Nurse Nancy's Wish List" at her school that provides medical supplies,
hygiene items, snacks, and clothing for the school nurse to distribute to underprivileged children
when the need arises; and
WHEREAS, Ashlee Kephart has been named one of the top youth volunteers in
Minnesota for 2004 in the ninth annual Prudential Spirit of Community Awards; and
WHEREAS, Ashlee Kephart recently named as one of our State's top honorees in the
Prudential Spirit of Community Awards Program, exemplifies the value of volunteer community
service, and is a role model to other youth as well as adults in our community; and
WHEREAS, recognizing these young volunteers and encouraging others to follow
their example is the aim of this nationwide program conducted by Prudential Financial and the
National Association of Secondary School Principals and to reach into every community, in all 50
States, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico to identify and honor these unsung heroes locally,
state-by-state, and then nationally in the hopes that their recognition will serve to stimulate others to
volunteer service.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the City Council of the City of
Brooklyn Center and on behalf of the City, commend Ashlee Kephart, our Prudential Spirit of
Community Award honoree, for her outstanding volunteer contribution to others and our community.
