> Dear Utah State Representative Joel Briscoe, Utah State Senator Jenn Plumb,  Utah Lt. Governor Deidre Henderson, and Utah Governor Spencer  Cox,
>
> As a gainfully employed single adult  permanent resident of Utah and current constituent of each of you highly influential and hard-working State Government of Utah officials,  I would like to share with each of you a possible idea for a proposed  new annual civic event involving our great  state.
>
> The "Four Corners National Monument" offers a golden opportunity for some non-profit  foundation or billionaire or state government to establish an annual awards ceremony tradition  at that site where the borders of Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado all harmoniously converge.
>
> The proposed annual awards ceremony at Four Corners could publicly honor  an individual, group of individuals,  religious group or other non-profit group,  business, labor union, government agency,  college or university, author, artist, singer, etc., who or that contributed significantly in the most recent previous  12-month period toward one or more four-state goals for our region such as strengthening:
>
> --- the multi-state regional planning and urban planning for Utah, Arizona, New Mexico, and Colorado;
> --- inter-state dialogue and cooperation;
> --- four-state arts and entertainment promotions;
> ---cultural and educational vitality and creative innovation;
> ---civility, harmoniousness, and friendliness;
> ----freedom from addictions, freedom from home- invasion crimes, freedom from verbal harassment, freedom from sexual assaults and  other violent crimes, and overall public safety;
> ----public health;
> ----environmental quality;
> ----the innovative  vitality of earth-friendly and very  honorable businesses; or
> ----water-conserving agricultural diversity in our four-state region.
>
> I hope that this very tentative recommendation for an annual four-state cultural event at "Four Corners" will appeal to each of you highly esteemed State of Utah officials.
>
> I hope to hear from any of you in regard to this recommendation.
>
> Sincerely and Best Wishes from John Kevin McMillan, the youngest grandson of former  Murray (UT) butcher shop owner Parley McMillan of Murray, Utah, and his devoted LDS member wife, Mrs. Alice Mae Pugh McMillan of Murray.
