Proclamation
Affirming Prior Lake as an Activity Friendly Community
Physical fitness is vital to a healthy lifestyle; and
Physical fitness benefits both the body and the mind. Regular exercise, along with healthy eating habits,
helps prevent serious health problems, improves productivity, and promotes better sleep and relaxation.
Maintaining an active lifestyle reduces the risk of chronic diseases such as obesity, diabetes, asthma, heart
disease, and certain cancers. Americans can improve their health and well-being by dedicating a small part
of each day to physical activity; and
As children grow, athletic activities teach them important life lessons and help prepare them for the
opportunities ahead. Sports are a way for young Americans to meet new friends, discover the value of
teamwork, discipline, and patience, and learn to win and lose with respect for others. Sports and physical
activities can be a great chance to get outdoors and enjoy memorable experiences with family and friends;
and
All Prior Lake citizens are urged to set aside time from September 18 to October 30, 2006, to improve their
health through physical fitness and sports, and all individuals are encouraged to help motivate their family
and friends to get out and exercise. By contributing to a culture of health and well-being in Prior Lake,
citizens help demonstrate the strength and character of our great community.
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT PROCLAIMED that I, Jack G. Haugen, Mayor of the City of Prior Lake, Minnesota, do hereby
proclaim September 18,2006, as the kick-off day for Wellfit of Prior Lake and call upon the people of Prior Lake to make
daily physical activity a priority in their lives and to recognize the numerous benefits of an active lifestyle.
Jack G. Haugen, Mayor ofthe City of Prior Lake
