Proclamation Declaring May 15, 2018 as Kate Pryor and David Lee Day. (City Manager 2110)
Body
Proclamation
Whereas, Kate Pryor and David Lee purchased Tucker's Super Creamed Ice Cream in 1990 and have been working every day since to enhance Alameda through their delicious ice cream and their dedication to our community; and
Whereas, Kate grew up eating Tucker's ice cream and David and she were the third owners since Tucker’s was established in Alameda in 1941; and
Whereas, Kate and David successfully relocated Tucker's from the previous location at Park Street and Webb to the current location at 1349 Park Street in April 2000; and
Whereas, they continuously and generously donated to our youth, schools, sports teams, community, police department, and Meals on Wheels; and
Whereas, Kate and David are passing “the cone,” their recipes, and their staff, to two Alameda families who themselves grew up eating Tucker's ice cream; and
Whereas, fostering traditions from baby showers to baby's first ice cream, from the first day of school to the last day of school, from a good or not so good report card, from first dates to bridal showers, to celebrating a new home, or even after attending school board and City Council meetings, Tucker's has been a place to go to relax, unwind, reward, and to celebrate life; and
Whereas, Tucker's ice cream is to the community like hot fudge is to a sundae -- they just go together; and
Whereas, we wish Kate and David all the best and hope they enjoy retirement to the fullest as they continue to live their motto, “Life is uncertain, eat dessert first.”
Now, therefore be it resolved, that I, Trish Herrera Spencer, Mayor of the City of Alameda, do hereby proclaim Tuesday, May 15, 2018 as
Kate Pryor and David Lee Day
in the City of Alameda and invite all residents and businesses to enjoy a second scoop!
Trish Herrera Spencer
Mayor
