November 30th to December 4, 1998, the Make-A-Wish Foundation of Iowa is celebrating "Make-A-Wish Week" throughout the state of Iowa.

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Iowa is a non-profit organization that fulfills wishes for children between the ages of 2 1/2 and 18 who have diagnosed life-threatening illnesses. The Iowa Chapter of the national foundation was founded in 1986. Since then, over 650 wishes have been granted to Iowa children battling life-threatening conditions (102 during the past 12 months alone).

The Make-A-Wish Foundation of Iowa is a volunteer driven organization. In the coming year, 17 Board of Directors, 13 Area Committees, and over 400 volunteers will donate their time and talent to the cause of fulfilling wishes to an estimated 115 ill children in Iowa. Volunteers outnumber paid staff by a ratio of more than 100 to 1, as there are only 4 paid staff in Iowa.

During the week-long celebration, volunteer groups throughout Iowa will hold fundraising and public awareness activities. The Iowa Bankers Association and its member banks will begin a month-long fundraising effort to sponsor local wishes through the sale of paper cutouts at local banks for $1.00 each.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED THAT I, Joe Bolkcom, Chairperson of the Johnson County Board of Supervisors, do hereby declare November 30th to December 4, 1998 as "MAKE-A-WISH WEEK."
