STATING THE FINDINGS OF THE LEGISLATURE AND SUPPORTING THE PEOPLE OF LATAH 
COUNTY AND THE CITY OF MOSCOW IN BRINGING THE COMMUNITY TOGETHER THROUGH 
THE MOSCOW COMMUNITY WALK, ENDORSING THE ANNUAL CELEBRATION OF THE WALK, 
AND ENCOURAGING SPONSORSHIP OF SIMILAR EVENTS IN OTHER COMMUNITIES OF

Be It Resolved by the Legislature of the State of Idaho:

WHEREAS, the 2007 Moscow CommUNITY Walk Proclamation issued by Idaho 
Governor C.L. "Butch" Otter recognized the importance of the Moscow 
CommUNITY Walk for "the positive impact they can have on our State";

WHEREAS, the 2007 Moscow CommUNITY Walk Proclamation, issued by City of 
Moscow Mayor Nancy Chaney, stated the purpose of the CommUNITY Walk: "We 
choose to walk together in a symbolic pilgrimage of our common humanity in 
the spirit of peace and harmony";

WHEREAS, according to S. "Ghazi" Ghazanfar, Professor Emeritus (2002), the 
founder of the Moscow CommUNITY Walk, the event "inspires each of us to 
develop and promote meaningful connections with each other, to gather in 
the spirit of mutual respect and acceptance, transcending our differences 
and rising to the unifying inclusiveness of our pluralism";

WHEREAS, Tom Trail, a member of the Moscow CommUNITY Walk’s original 
founding committee, believes, "The Walk brings together a cross section of 
citizens and allows them for at least one moment and one day to stand 
together in friendship and to celebrate our spirit of community."

WHEREAS, in addition to the Walk, the event has also included a free 
potluck community meal, a student essay contest and various other 
celebratory activities for the participants;

WHEREAS, the Moscow CommUNITY Walk has enjoyed the support of several 
prominent sponsors, including: the City of Moscow, the University of Idaho 
(Office of the President, the Associated Students of the University of 
Idaho and the Multicultural Affairs Office), the Latah County Human Rights 
Task Force, the Moscow Interfaith Association, and various other faith 
groups as well as business and civic organizations.

NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the First Regular Session 
of the Sixtieth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and the 
Senate concurring therein, that the Legislature supports the people of 
Latah County and the City of Moscow in bringing the community together 
through the Moscow CommUNITY Walk, endorses the annual celebration of the 
Walk, and encourages sponsorship of similar events in other communities of
