MINUTE ENTRY
Councilmember Fonnesbeck read a joint resolution of the Mayor and City
Council designating September 18, 1987, as Mattie Lou Koster Day in Salt Lake City.
The United States House of Representatives designated the week of September 14, 1987,
through September 20, 1987, as "Benign Essential Blepharospasm Awareness Week and the
Fifth International meeting of the Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation
will be held in Salt Lake City September 15, 1987, through September 18, 1987. Benign
Essential Blepharospasm, an involuntary, forcible closing of the eyelids, is a progres-
sively incapacitating disease resulting i'n functional blindness and Mattie Lou Koster,
out of frustration over a lack of information, interest and treatment of the disease,
founded the Benign Essential Blepharospasm Research Foundation which distributes infor-
mation packets worldwide.
Councilmember Fonnesbeck moved and Councilmember Hardwick seconded to adopt
Resolution 119 of 1987 designating Mattie Lou Koster Day, which motion carried, all
members voted aye.
