A GOLDEN RULE STATE

The State of Arizona passed the following concurrent resolution encouraging the citizens of Arizona to live the golden rule in 2003.

Whereas, the citizens of Arizona recognize and appreciate the wonderful diversity of peoples, cultures, faiths and languages that make up our state; and

Whereas, the Golden Rule proclaims that we should treat others the way we would like to be treated; and

Whereas, variations of the Golden Rule are embraced by every belief system; and

Whereas, through application of the Golden Rule we may be able to reduce, and even eliminate prejudice, hate, bigotry and racial intolerance; and

Whereas, the schools, community organizations, leaders, parents and children of this state would benefit by recognizing, teaching and practicing the Golden Rule as a tool for kindness and civility; and

Whereas, living and practicing the Golden Rule will have a powerfully positive effect on each individual and the society in which we all live.

Therefore be it resolved by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:

1. That the members of the Forty-sixth Legislature of the State of Arizona encourage the people of this state to live the Golden Rule and treat others the way they would like to be treated.

2. That the Secretary of State transmit copies of this Resolution to the Governor, the Speaker of the House, the President of the Senate and the Arizona news media. Read the resolution…

Do you know who Chandler Plante is? If you live in Camp Verde, you may have seen him around town doing things to help the community and the people. You may have met him but have not had the chance to get to know him

Chandler is a 12 year old kid that since the age of five, has been rallying community members around causes or programs that touched his heart. His enthusiasm for volunteering and helping others has inspired many people in the Verde Valley to join him in his efforts. Chandler has proven by example, that it does not matter how old you are, you’re never too young or too old to help your fellow neighbors.

He has volunteered and organized fundraisers such as raffles and coin collections to raise money for local residents in need of financial help to pay medical bills. He also helps with food drives, collecting and sorting foods for local food banks, and offers free lawn service for the elderly and handicap people of Camp Verde.

Chandler is always looking for ways to help others in his community with no thought to himself. If he hears of someone in his community in need of assistants, Chandler is more often than not the first to try to help.

One student every month is nominated for this prestigious award, and we get to tell you all about what these children are doing in their schools and their communities!
