BUSINESS WEEK 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, 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 President of the United States has issued a proclamation announcing
National Small Business Week every year since 1963 to highlight the programs and services
available to entrepreneurs through the U.S. Small Business Administration and other
government agencies, which recognize the critical contributions of America's entrepreneurs
and small business owners; and
WHEREAS, as part of National Small Business Week, the U.S. Small Business
Administration takes the opportunity to highlight the impact of outstanding entrepreneurs,
small business owners, and others from all 50 states and U.S. territories; and
