City of Saint Paul Proclaims “Melaleuca Day” for Extraordinary Philanthropy in Support of Veterans, Soldiers and Community

Whereas, Melaleuca is partnering with A Taste of Minnesota on the Melaleuca Freedom Celebration which will be the largest fireworks show in Minnesota from June 30 to July 4, 2006; and

Whereas, the fireworks show will enable hundreds of thousands of people, over the course of five nights, to celebrate our national heritage and freedom; and

Whereas, the fireworks show will be a special salute to our country’s veterans, active duty personnel, and those who serve to protect us American soil; and

Whereas, it is commendable that Melaleuca is in partnership with A Taste of Minnesota and Metro Transit to provide disabled veterans with free bus rides to and from this year’s festival; and

Whereas, Melaleuca’s partnership with A Taste of Minnesota reflects the company’s larger commitment to honoring veterans and patriotism; and

Whereas, Melaleuca has honored the City of Saint Paul for five consecutive years by sponsoring fireworks on Saint Paul’s Harriet Island;

Now, Therefore, I, Christopher B. Coleman, Mayer of the City of Saint Paul, do hereby proclaim Friday, June 30, 2006 to be

Melaleuca Day

In the City of Saint Paul.

In Witness Whereof I have hereunto set my hand and caused the Seal of the City of Saint Paul to be affixed this Thirtieth Day of June in the Year of Two Thousand Six

Christopher B. Coleman, Mayor
