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.
