VWHEREAS, it is the policy of the Unitarian Universalist Association to encourage the Legislature of the State of Arizona to declare the third Monday in January as a legal holiday in recognition of the birthday of Martin Luther King, Jr.; and

WHEREAS, the Board of Trustees of the Unitarian Universalist Association, on short notice, withdrew the 1988 General Assembly from Phoenix; and

WHEREAS, this decision has painfully disappointed the hope of many Arizonans who had already worked enthusiastically in anticipation of welcoming Unitarian Universalists to their capital city in 1988;

THEREFORE BE IT RESOLVED: That the 1987 General Assembly urges the Board of Trustees to schedule a General Assembly in Phoenix at the earliest feasible date after the State of Arizona declares as a legal holiday the third Monday in January in recognition of Martin Luther King, Jr.
