A RESOLUTION DESIGNATING NOVEMBER 24, 2018 AS SMALL BUSINESS
SATURDAY IN THE CITY OF MCHENRY, MCHENRY COUNTY, ILLINOIS
WHEREAS, America's progress has been driven by pioneers who think big, take risks and
work hard; and
WHEREAS, Small Business Saturday is a registered trademark of American Express; and
WHEREAS, Small Business Saturday falls between Black Friday and Cyber Monday; and
WHEREAS, Small Business Saturday encourages people to patronize brick and mortar
stores, which are small and local; and
WHEREAS, from the storefront shops that anchor Main Street to the high-tech startups
that keep America on the cutting edge, small businesses are the backbone of our economy and
the cornerstones of our nation's promise; and
WHEREAS, small business owners and Main Street businesses have energy and a
passion for what they do; and
WHEREAS, when we support small business, jobs are created and local communities
preserve their unique culture; and
WHEREAS, because this country's 28 million small businesses create nearly two out of
three jobs in our economy, we cannot resolve ourselves to create jobs and spur economic
growth in America without discussing ways to support our entrepreneurs; and
WHEREAS, the City of McHenry supports and joins in this national effort to help
America's small businesses do what they do best — grow their business, create jobs, and ensure
that our communities remain as vibrant tomorrow as they are today.
