MAYOR’S
PROCLAMATION
RAVENS
WEEK IN WESTMINSTER
WHEREAS, once
upon a midnight dreary some seventeen years ago, the fans of the State of
Maryland, and the City of Westminster lost their beloved National Football
League team. And for year after year eagerly wished the morrow, dreaming dreams
that no mortal had ever dared to dream before, but for twelve long years the
silence was unbroken, and the darkness gave no token; and
WHEREAS, in
October 1995, there came a tapping at our chamber door, a tapping louder than
before, and when the shutters were flung open, in there stepped the stately RAVENS of the saintly days of yore; and
WHEREAS, in the
summer of 1996, these proud birds landed on the campus of Western Maryland
College in Westminster to conduct training camp prior to their inaugural season
as our proud reentry into the National Football League; and
WHEREAS, only
five years later, led by Brian Billick and sporting the most tenacious defense
ever known, this ebony bird has beguiled my formerly sad fancy into smiling,
and opponent after opponent now pleads "Take thy beak from out my heart,
and take thy form from off my door" but the proud RAVENS quoth "Nevermore"; and
WHEREAS, this
coming Sunday evening, it is our fervent belief that come the end of the game,
there will be the RAVENS, never
flitting, but rather sitting atop the NFL standings, merely this, and nothing
more,
NOW, THEREFORE, I,
Kenneth A. Yowan, Mayor of the City of Westminster, do hereby proclaim the week
of January 22-28, 2001 as RAVENS WEEK IN
WESTMINSTER, in recognition of their SUPER
season, and I commend this observance to all our citizens and encourage one and
all to show their support by "thinking purple" through garb and
decoration.
Signed
at City Hall, this
Twenty-Second
day of January
in
the year Two Thousand One.
KENNETH
A. YOWAN
Mayor
