STATE OF NEW HAMPSHIRE

In the year of Our Lord

One Thousand Nine Hundred and Ninety-Five

A RESOLUTION

urging New Hampshire to establish a day each year to celebrate

our lakes and ponds, to be known as "Celebrate Your Lakes Day."

Whereas, the 800 lakes and great ponds of New Hampshire are a significant natural resource which sparkle across the state's landscape; and

Whereas, the residents of and visitors to New Hampshire seek out and enjoy these lakes for the recreational opportunities and numerous other amenities they provide; and

Whereas, maintaining the exceptional water quality of our lakes is essential as they are a major economic asset to the state; now, therefore, be it,

Resolved by the Senate:

That the state of New Hampshire should set aside at least one day every year to acknowledge its lakes and ponds, to be known as "Celebrate Your Lakes Day," and that the first such annual statewide event should take place on Saturday, August 12, 1995, on the Lake Winnipesaukee waterfront in the town of Meredith with subsequent celebrations to be held on or about the second Saturday in August.
