RESOLUTION 2022R-004

THE TOWN BOARD OF GARDNERVILLE’S

INVOCATION POLICY

The Town Board of Gardnerville makes it a

policy to invite members of the clergy, religious

representatives and representatives of other

benevolent organizations in Gardnerville

and Douglas County to voluntarily offer an

invocation before the beginning of its regular

and special meetings at which the Board may

take action, for the benefit, blessing, wisdom

and guidance of the Board. Any leader of a

religious congregation or representative of a

benevolent organization with an established

presence in the local community, any chaplain

for one of the local fire department, law

enforcement agency or military units, are

eligible to offer this important service at an

upcoming meeting of the Board.

Any organization or individual willing to assist

the Board in this regard, please send a written

request at your earliest convenience to the

Town of Gardnerville at 1407 Hwy. 395,

Gardnerville, Nevada. Persons delivering

the invocation are scheduled on a first-come,

first-serve basis. The dates of the Board’s

scheduled regular meetings for the upcoming

year are established by policy and are listed

on the Board’s website. Special meetings,

when called, will be posted on the Board’s

website as soon as the Board determines

to conduct a special meeting. If you have a

preference among the dates, please state that

request in your written request.

This opportunity is voluntary, and you are free

to offer the invocation according to the dictates

of your own conscience. To maintain a spirit of

respect and ecumenism, the Board requests

only that the opportunity not be exploited as

an effort to convert others to the particular faith

of the invocation speaker, nor to disparage

any faith or belief different than that of the

invocation speaker, nor to disparage any

person by name or by inference.
