One of the finest programs ever presented to a community took place last Friday evening at the Elk Grove High School when Elk Grove School Dis- trict #59 outlined the goals of community education.

He further added that the program can touch the heart and mind and spirit of every person in School District #59 . From it, can come the uplifting of the human press for dignity and achieve- ment." I ask the Village Attorney to prepare an appropriate resolution for this Board to adopt and that said resolution be presented to School District #59 They are truly exhibiting community leadership of the highest order and we$ should be on formal record to support them in every way we can. 7.
