Arnold Schwarzenegger
PROCLAMATION
by the
Governor of the State of California
The development of our youth is our greatest responsibility, and every parent plays a crucial part in this undertaking. As a child’s mentor, friend, caretaker and counselor a parent faces unparalleled challenges - but also immeasurable rewards.
We are reminded by the vast number of children living with stepfamilies each day that parenthood is more than a biological relationship. Stepparents are prominent figures in a child’s life, offering emotional support and act as positive role models. We recognize stepparents’ important contributions to building healthy families by proclaiming the first Sunday in October as Stepparents day.
On Stepparents Day and throughout the year, California honors stepparents, whose nurturing and guidance help our young people lead purposeful, successful lives.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, ARNOLD SCHWARZENEGGER, Governor of the State of California, do hereby proclaim October 2, 2005 as “Stepparents Day.”
IN WITNESS WHEREOF I have here unto set my hand and caused the Great Seal of the State of California to be affixed this the thirtieth day of September 2005.
