PROCLAMATION
Whereas, in 1872, J. Sterling Morton proposed to the Nebraska Board of Agriculture that a special day be set aside
for the planting of trees; and
Whereas, this holiday, called Arbor Day, was first observed with the planting of more than a million trees in
Nebraska; and
Whereas, the legislature of the State of West Virginia has adopted an Act Designating Arbor Day and by that Act
has designated the second Friday of every April as the State Arbor Day; and
Whereas, the City of Morgantown will celebrate Arbor Day on October 1, 2022, to take advantage of the fall
weather which is an excellent time to plant trees. The shorter days and mild temperatures are less
stressful and ensures a greater survival rate on newly planted trees; and
Whereas, it is the purpose of the designation of this day throughout the Nation to encourage the planting of shade
and forest trees, to encourage the protection of our forests from the scourge of devastating insects,
diseases and fires that destroy the beauty and usefulness of our woodlands, parks, and street trees as well
as their wildlife; and
Whereas, trees can reduce the erosion of our precious topsoil by wind and water, cut heating and cooling costs,
moderate the temperature, clean the air, produce oxygen, and provide habitat for wildlife; and
Whereas, trees are a renewable resource giving us paper, wood for our homes, fuel for our fires and countless other
wood products; and
Whereas, trees in the City of Morgantown increase property values, enhance the economic vitality of business
areas, and beautify our community; and
Whereas, Saturday, October 1, 2022, the City of Morgantown will be celebrating Arbor Day and their 25 th year as a
Tree City USA.
Now, therefore, I, Jenny Selin, Mayor of the City of Morgantown, do hereby proclaim
Saturday, October 1, 2022, as
Arbor Day
in the City of Morgantown, West Virginia, and urge all citizens to celebrate Arbor Day and to support
efforts to protect and enhance our trees throughout the city; and
Furthermore, I urge all citizens to plant trees to gladden the heart and promote the well-being
of this and future generations.

PROCLAMATION
Whereas, International education is one process by which people of one country become familiar with
people of another country, and share their values, traditions, and cultures; and
Whereas, the achievement of the goal of cultural exchange requires the patience and heartfelt interests of
everyone involved, the hosts and the guests in sharing their dreams, hopes and ideas; and
Whereas, the study of foreign languages and different cultures provides an immediate bridge to
international understanding and cooperation; and
Whereas, the study of languages of different world regions fosters greater communication, understanding,
and appreciation of people from diverse cultures; and
Whereas, the West Virginia Council of Programs Board of Directors and volunteers based in Morgantown,
West Virginia, continue to bridge the hundreds of miles that separate the people of the United
States with many other countries and regions of the world; and
Whereas, The West Virginia Council of Programs has continued to successfully advance their mission of
development and intercultural experiences for professionals over the course of 50 years.
Now therefore, I, Jenny Selin, Mayor of the City of Morgantown, West Virginia, on behalf of City Council, due
herby proclaim the 21 st day of September 2022 as
West Virginia Council of International Programs Day
in the City of Morgantown and offer thanks and appreciation to those visiting CIP Professionals who came to
our city, the local host families, the placement agencies, and the CIP's volunteer board of directors - for they
truly are, the world's "cultural ambassadors"
