PROCLAMATION 8238--APR. 15, 2008

Proclamation 8238 of April 15, 2008
Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 2008
By the President of the United States of America
A Proclamation
A hopeful society helps ensure that its citizens develop the character,
knowledge, and skills they need to succeed. On Education and Sharing
Day, we underscore our dedication to encouraging our Nation's youth to
build a solid foundation for a lifetime of accomplishment.
Education and Sharing Day pays tribute to the unique efforts of Rabbi
Menachem Mendel Schneerson, the Lubavitcher Rebbe. The Rebbe helped
create numerous education and outreach centers, which continue to
provide social service programs and humanitarian aid at home and around
the globe.
On this day and throughout the year, we encourage our children to set
high goals, make the right choices, and put character first. By
instilling respect, responsibility, civic duty, compassion, and honesty
in our youth, we can help more of our citizens realize the great promise
of America.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the United States of
America, by virtue of the authority vested in me by the Constitution and
laws of the United States, do hereby proclaim April 16, 2008, as
Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon government officials,
educators, volunteers, and all the people of the United States to reach
out to young people and work to create a better, brighter, and more
hopeful future for all.
IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this fifteenth day of
April, in the year of our Lord two thousand eight, and of the
Independence of the United States of America the two hundred and thirty-
second.
GEORGE W. BUSH
