Proclamation
Drs. Harold and Marion Spellman
Appreciation Day
WHEREAS in 1971 Marion Spellman recognized the need to institute a
program that would help the hurting people of our society; and
WHEREAS as a witness to the increase in broken homes, community deterioration,
crime and incarceration, Marion Spellman realized the majority of these
situations were drug and/or alcohol related; and
WHEREAS in 1980 Marion Spellman founded the Peniel drug/alcohol program
in a small wood-type cabin in York County with only two enrolled residents,
Drs. Harold and Marion Spellman were determined to see their vision
come to fruition; and
WHEREAS Drs. Harold and Marion Spellman are dedicated pastors of the
Peniel Praise Chapel, where they give countless hours of counselling
to individuals who desperately need their love, understanding and compassion;
and
WHEREAS the Spellmans give unselfishly to others, dedicating themselves
and their lives to serving those who are lost and troubled;
NOW THEREFORE, in recognition of their contributions, boundless energy,
and the love and friendship they have brought to so many, I, Linda M.
Weaver, mayor of the city of Johnstown, do hereby declare November 3,1996,
as "Drs. Harold and Marion Spellman Appreciation Day" in the
city of Johnstown and ask that all residents be inspired by the Spellmans’ love
of mankind.
