                Proclamation 8116 of March 26, 2007

                
Education and Sharing Day, U.S.A., 2007

                By the President of the United States of America

                A Proclamation

                A future of hope and opportunity in America requires 
                that all our children develop the knowledge and 
                character they need in life. On Education and Sharing 
                Day, we recognize our responsibility to ensure that our 
                young people have the foundation necessary to lead 
                lives rich in purpose and fulfillment.

                Education and Sharing Day honors the legacy of Rabbi 
                Menachem Mendel Schneerson and emphasizes our 
                commitment to teach the next generation of Americans 
                the values that make our country strong. The 
                Lubavitcher Rebbe believed that society should ``make a 
                new commitment to kindness,'' and he helped to 
                establish education and outreach centers offering 
                social service programs and humanitarian aid around the 
                world.

                The character of our young people is strengthened by 
                serving a cause greater than self and by the anchor of 
                virtues, including courage and compassion. By 
                instilling a spirit of service in our children, we 
                create a more optimistic future for them and our 
                Nation.

                NOW, THEREFORE, I, GEORGE W. BUSH, President of the 
                United States of America, by virtue of the authority 
                vested in me by the Constitution and laws of the United 
                States, do hereby proclaim March 30, 2007, as Education 
                and Sharing Day, U.S.A. I call upon government 
                officials, educators, volunteers, and all the people of 
                the United States to reach out to young people and work 
                to create a better, brighter, and more hopeful future 
                for all.

                IN WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand this 
                twenty-sixth day of March, in the year of our Lord two 
                thousand seven, and of the Independence of the United 
                States of America the two hundred and thirty-first. 
                
                
                    (Presidential Sig.)
