Dear Ms. Steinmark:
Enclosed is a suggested proclamation proclaiming the week of
March 20-26, 1977 as Poison Prevention Week. I wonder if it is possible
to bring this to the attention of the County Commissioners at the next
regular meeting. The Weld-Greeley Safety Council would be most appre-
ciative of the commissioners approval of this proclamation.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,
A
Don W. Bennett, Chairman
Weld-Greeley Safety Council
